Realm Population Preference

[Ulbjorn]

Would you prefer new players, low, medium, high, or full for botting? I personally like medium so there's players but not so many because that's more people to send a report if my character gets stuck questing.

Well, there's a baseline in players' reaction to other players depending on the population type:

High: people are highly indifferent to each other. Farming zones are always crowded, questing zones aren't empty and popular grinding spots are rarely left alone.
Low: the opposite. Someone might have been farming the whole zone alone before you showed up. Someone might've been questing all alone before you showed up. Someone might've had a spot all to himself to grind before you showed up. You immediately draw their attention.

That being said, I'd rather bot at High/Full realms, but anything is fine if you supervise your bots and/or configure plugins to react adequately to being stuck/getting whispers.

I never thought about it that way. Your point about the high server makes a lot of sense, I might roll a character one of those.

I like full / high realms, as stuff at the AH sells faster and I am not spooted for overselling stuff
