How to Detect a Bot: Look how they converge towards the dead animal they want to skin

[nidnorg]

It is not hard to see who's botting in this game when every butcher is going automatically towards my dead animal as soon as it drops if they are around. I made a profile for Iron Fall to gather tons of Heavy Hides. Apparently many people are using the same hotspots and sometimes the animal drops and 3 people at the exact same time run towards it to butcher it. They manage to kick space a bit and jump around as if they're real it's cool, but soon people will get suspicious.

We could use a "check for player around the coveted item/mob" function when you have time. We know you developers have a lot on your hands right now. Great job by the way.

As awesome as a lifetime user would be I dont expect to see one as its just not smart business, as say 3 years down the road they will have the responsibility to us as customers to keep the bot up to date but if the majority of their client base is lifetime users they are not longer pulling in any form of revenue.

I would love if there were that many customers but there are not. What you are seeing is just plain old rudeness.

Hey if you don't mind me asking what is the HOTSPOT option really used for? I make my profile and mesh file and don't understand what the hotspots can be used for. Pease let me know. Sorry to get off topic but I saw you mention the hotspots.

Also I did use gather buddy when it came out but I have been a long time pvptool user since it was just a AFK bot 3-4 years ago. I still have a Gatherbuddy account though lol. But as for the option detect player I agree.

Player near skipping noid/skinning ect.

Agreed, I'm sure it will happen in time though.
