I see someone with a mild arrogance dismissing ideas without giving them proper merit.

i would if i had nothing else to do. raiding is fun. plus if you had more than 1 person it could be done taking turns.

ps. i dont have much to do while i am waiting for lp to tick away. so i would have the time.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong but exploiting bots in w4 meant 8m lp a day. I'm pretty sure that even a very active character only attains ~1m lp a day if they're well developed. You can get higher if you've pushed quality and everything but it's a good amount of work and a lot of effort to push for better curiosities. Unless you're somehow pushing for a troll skull a day or whatever then your progress will be, likely quite literally, impossibly high.

Feeding alts shewbread doesn't give anywhere near as much and along with a few metal curios, I think that's the primary source lp for alt farms.

Oh, and while ur camping the ram, the people are gonna spam alts at it and break it. So yes, it's completely impossible unless the town is dumb enough to leave a cornerpost unsealed.

Ya, i wasn't so sure about LP gains in world 4 as i was completely noob and didn't really know what was going on with botting till world 5 ;)

This is a lie. Everyone has Tried to do it. It's fucking hard and tiring and you get harassed endlessly. By the end of it, if you didn't have twenty combatants surrounding it then just some alt would run up to it and break it. It's not as easy as getting one guy to sit there for 24 hours. You need a large village sitting there for 24 hours. Not even in shifts, just all of you on the entire time.

I still think a compromise could be made such as, a simple bot prevention macro. not that hard to implement.
