Plz rid the botters from Artemis

plz plz plz will you stop the botters already! Nobody can farm and make gold off of dogmeats cause of the constant bots that farm them in multiple channels everyday. You must also rid all characters they are sending the meats/gold too cause they will just run other ones.
Xaveria/Inferno Gardens... isn't it obvious already? !!!@##@!!

"Nobody can farm and make gold off of dogmeats"

Ever think its because you're not the only person with that idea?

Huh? I just explained to you why.... please reread top post. Do you need it translated to a different language?

No I don't ever think its because I am not the only person with that idea.

These are botters, they follow the same pattern over and over, have been killed and lay there for hours (if they weren't afk while killing but then explain why they lay dead a long time?) They do on ocassion come back to the keyboard to go empty their bags at the npc.
They will come back and start killing no matter who is there with no regards to anyone else.Same spot, same path everytime, all day, all night.

Did you ever think that gold sellers (basement companies that sell ingame gold for real $$ ) need a way to generate the gold to sell? Which is illegal to do within Runes Of Magic and supposedly bannable (just take several weeks- months appears.)

Did i explain it simple enough? These botters are farming 12hrs a day ++ non stop on several channels. We just need a ingame GM to come clear it up. Someone is getting paid to do that , not me. Regardless.. it is hurting the economy of the game.
If I can farm 100 meats in around 15 mins with loot runes and lucky target (these botters not using any of that...don't even have their wings ++ so they are just wasting time, prolly takes 10 kills for 2 meats)
So for them to make around 5mill an hour...add that up! for like 20 hrs everyday each bot to be sold to unsuspecting people (usually low levels)

I don't just speak for myself...many WC's and complaints in the area everyday about this problem.

To reply below...huh? Botters in endgame instances? They don't spend money on the game, have low level crap gears and would be hard to bot an instance.And farming instances requires more than ONE person

You are so wrong about all of it.... EVERYONE doesn't go farm dogmeats because we CAN'T
You don't make sense or understand clearly. Its only for a lil extra gold , I don't sell my diamonds. I need a lil gold to run instances too.
Are you even from Atremis server?

Which I find odd because i've NEVER had that problem.

If Botters REALLY wanted a way to generate gold, they'd just farm the top 4 endgame instances and sell the gear. They make huge profits (even with buying ABL's) and it goes ten times faster than dog meat farming.

There are much better ways to farm gold than dog meat nowdays. Clearly EVERYONE goes to the Guard dogs for farming so they aren't a viable source of gold anymore.

tl;dr: stick to leveling than farming instances.

Stick to levelling? I have TWO 70/70/70 chars and I do like levelling. Game is mostly just dailies,siege and farming for me. Farm runes ,cards and TP and such but they aren't selling for much and not selling well lately. However DOGMEATS sell like crazy huh

Our guild runs usually 4 Tosh HM Full a night, yes you read that right . But it costs gold to run when a spot. I am really just a farmer tho

I am not writing this topic for me in specific...for the whole server, the economy and many people that would like/need to farm for gold

And again, there are other means of getting gold, much better than dog meat.

And if you seriously have to farm GDM with 2 maxed level characters... Thats legitimately sad Imo.

You are the smartest troll I know but plz plz stay on topic of the bot problem thx.

Go levelup and when you hit 70 gold automatically flows to you or something. Did I say I only have 2 level 70 chars ?

What daily would your almighty farm and sell that is better than dogmeats? lol

Are we playing the same game?

Monday, January 30th 2012, 2:08am

I wouldn't bother farming Dog meats, i'd be farming instances and getting gear and mento's and making my next characters able to level to 70 without having do do any dalies.

Something like that.

first things first: i DON'T approve bots.
that being said:
if you are lvl 70, why do you farm dogmeat for 5 mil an hour, when you could farm TOSH and get 10 times that? id does not make sense.

i don't know the price of dog meat, but on my server it is between 4k-7k, and that is not 5 mil an hour, it is more like 1-1.5mil.

china farmers do not bot dog meat to make gold to sell. they exploit the game, and hack. botters are mostly undergeared nubies trying to be competitive since they have no cash to spend, and are not introducing new gold ingame (they sell meat for gold already existing gold, and farming KS introduces more gold ingame than any bot), due to competition they sell dog meat cheaper for endgamers, so i can't see how they hurt economy... they hurt YOUR economy that is another problem. don't mix them up.

of course they should be banned, also golden egg bots, all i say is that botters are not the top priority problem on the servers :P

if they would all farm by hand there, you would be also pissed off, because neither way you cannot monopolize the place.

Monday, January 30th 2012, 1:39pm

Wow I must be very simple in explanations.

I do not speak for myself but FOR MANY PEOPLE TRYING TO FARM DOGMEATS for gold.
Would I need to repeat again? again? again?
These are many people on server trying to farm and earn gold from others and such that do not have time for dailies and are just running instances or leveling from 49+ with resets. Dogmeat sells for double the price you say and double that during double xp.

Farming Tosh is done late at night with my guild and requires MORE THAN ONE PERSON

Also AGAIN , Tosh requires gold to run, so doesn't siege

I don't play as many chars as I used to but most of my time in this game has been spent:
Get home from work, do my dailies and minis and farm dailies for my other chars...Sell the extra dailies,runes,cards etc...
Later on, if time and gold permits....DO RUNS! But lately has been dailies,siege and sometimes runs after that If I can stay awake.
During the time my wife was guild leader for almost 2 years , most any extra time was spent tanking runs for hours helping others, no time for much else

Play your way and I will play mine, thank you

Many people I know logon and just do runs , if thats how you play so be it and I don't approve of that gameplay, don't push that gameplay on others. My priorities are leveling so dailies is a ceremony EVERYDAY, I hardly ever miss dailies if it means skipping runs mkay
Wanna compare chars,levels and TP?

And if you haven't noticed the economy, stuff isn't selling well. Only very endgame Tosh gears really, not Grafu much, Not much Sardo and certainly nothing much else.Maybe your server is desperate for any gear from instance but not on Artemis. You will not make much unless its specific Tosh gears which REQUIRES MORE THAN ONE PERSON and if you get that drop
If you wanna run and spend gold to run for a few hours and make couple mill off one piece of gear (even tho if you rolled it should be for your use not sell) , so be it. Play how you want

And yes farming dogmeats isn't bringing much new gold in the game (asides the loot you still get and npc) it makes the people that don't have time and usually are sitting on tons of gold spend some of it. But how will you sell your endgame drops to people if they aren't making any gold , huh? explain
Its hurting the economy because other players can't earn the gold to buy your gears from the AH

Also explain the reason for the loot III runes I bought from CS and purposes of plussing your wings?
I am a true farmer and no botters by hand could never outfarm me, hands down.
I have been doing it for years in the game and built chars from the gold i earned.
My original char mage farmed dailies,cards,runes,white HD jewerly, SOA's etc... back in the day
Earned my gold and builtup my char
I save up and buy a gear at a time If I have to
And it suits my playstyle (have kids) I can move my char to safety and afk , hide when I need too. Gives me something to do while my wife is running instances nonstop huh
Play your way I play mine

regardless either the botters have taken a break or cleaned out by GM's, thank you much

okay okay no need to take it personal, i just made some suggestions, it is your choice, and if your choice brings you stress, learn to handle it, don't be such a QQ about it.
geez, some ppl get mad about everything...

13

Monday, January 30th 2012, 5:26pm

lol k, I didn't see your suggestions. You both just say there are other ways to make gold and continue with the spend gold for maybe drop in runs idea is all

Botters are back full bore, they just don't work Sunday night....seen that before

Monday, January 30th 2012, 5:42pm

So in other words;

"guys, i like to play this one certain way, everyone else needs to spend time getting rid of botters so I can play MY way."

Thats about what it looks like. If you don't like botters, move on or do what i did for awhile last night, farm Gargoyle eyes, get a couple hundred of those and it makes Fly parties go about 40 times faster.

I'm a bit confused. It sounds like you are taking the botters side. Are you a botter yourself? If his suggestion gets taken seriously and a GM regularly checks those areas and bans all the botters, is that such a bad thing?

What he does on his free time is up to him. Whether its farm TOSH or dog meats. He should be able to do both.

USER NAME REMOVED UNDER FORUM RULES has been botting here for several days now, there's no way to open a ticket anymore...

It's so blatent it just disrespectful to people who are trying to play the game without cheating. On Artemis the front set of dogs are farmed by bots non-stop, everyday in all 3 channels by the same 3 charecters. It's chatted about in zone and in world chat. Everyone who has done the fly daily is aware of who it is. I've reported them, others have reported them. Nothing has happened. I'm just not sure what the message is to the player community (pick as many as you think apply):

1. There are no GM's on Artemis?
2. Farm botting dailys is ok?
3. Botting is ok?
4. This botter (or set of botters, though I suspect that one person is running at least two of them or at least using the same pattern) is just too good to catch by the GM's?

I just want to be able to get a stack for dailys for myself or maybe like Brattym to sell for some coin to buy some hero pots or... Too much to ask?
I miss the ant party

Tuesday, January 31st 2012, 2:28pm

Yes, I have seen the very same. I have reported it, with Pictures....With Video, hell i have even sent world and zone chats for a GM to come witness it him or herself.

no reply to this date.

All that needs done, have a GM add it to his/her list of places to visit. its not hard to spot which is botting

and how do you know they are not doing this? when you see 300 to 500 million gold for ud end game gear it kinda makes you wonder doesnt it?especially if you went to a spammer site and looked at the amounts of gold you get seem to be in conjuction with these outrageous prices. I AM NOT SAYING THAT end gamers are doing this im just saying it kinda looks like they could be.would be pretty hard to bot an instance wouldnt it?
