What's the current state of AB?

[jeffcarson]

Hey guys,

I took a few months break. What's the current state of AB? A few months back I saw bots everywhere. Now I see none. The server I'm on has also died, so maybe that's part of it. What is relatively safe to run? Are fighter bots easily caught by Trion? What about mining or other professions?

Thanks!

The auto leveling bots seem to be a big no no now. I've logged in on a level 1 on a separate pc for ICU radar only so far for about a week and no ban as of yet. But still terrified of logging in on my "main".

Also not seen much in the way of mining bots or turtle beach bots either, also a LOT of land opened up after the ban wave on Morph.

the biggest reason fighter bots get caught is your on a path that is always the same and people can tell your doing same thing over and over. they need to randomize some stuff in them somehow esp routes... switching to meshes instead of real paths etc would help to i think. And changing how it does things from time to time and adding some random stuff as well that a real player might do. Tradebots same thing really path stays exactly the same and if you get blocked not nec on purpose but if someone is trying to go across same bridge as you in other direction etc and your not there they figure out your a bot and so on. Farming as in planting - single seed planting over and aver on seeds with short timers is also something people notice i would think.
