Rise of the Attack Bots

[Erock]

Let them in 1 by 1 and kill them

Well, I wasn't there with them so I cannot be 100% sure. Unless Nao was lying to me when he informed me about them messing with people and how it was hilarious, those are no bots though. (Sorry for clearing this up, Nao )

Ainran is also not the kind of faction that would even use combat bots. They love fighting themselves way too much for that. They are far better at it than any bot too.

so basically you're just taking your buddy's word for it?
it's still pretty weird and worth checking out, i think.
not too hard to figure out if those are bots or not, just check the coordinates and see if they're correct or something.
if this shit keeps going on we'll probably see a big decay on the number of active players, maybe including myself.

Could you leave your gates open then?

I'm not a buddy of Nao's but if you know your haven history you would know that he is one of the ppl who is most outspoken about disliking bots.
He made several rather harsh statements on how bots ruins the game last world and eventually even a whole thread dedicated to crying about it.

That and the fact that the bots are saying random commands in chat and the way they move just makes me feel like they are trolls (and seeing how we used to troll ppl with all kinds of theatre I'm not suprised about how they act).

So without details or evidence, someone posts a random weird chatlog and everyone panics about it.

Hmm, is this not enough?

You realize they're literally spouting nonsense to fuck with you, right?

Do you see their gob paths? It's scripted (most likely).

Edit. Well, they could click like that of course. But text is not random too, and it's actually easy to script it. And if you saw screenshots of their client, you would know that it has scripting engine.

I think you just to calm yourself. It is bots, they move like bots, attacks, switch combat moves and aggro in 0.1 second in right distance.
And why they go away one by one after kin dialog?

I think they are scripting to look like bots, Ken. To mess with others. So the script does not do anything useful, just perform actions that make others think "Oh my god bot army!"
