Botters on our server? Beware~Follow

Hello Cerberus ^^

Problem
The topic of discussion today invovles a few members that we all share our gameplay with. Regardless if you know these people or not, please be aware that they are around and that they are most likely botting the hell out of Davoi, Castle Oztroja and Beadeaux. Mainly Davoi. These characters are as follows: Meau, Haierbaby, Samsang, and Multiscan They have other minions as well, but those would be the main ones.

Background Knowledge
These players are playing from Hong Kong, China. Our LS had acquired this knowledge because one of the people listed above, Haierbaby, was invited to join our LS just for fun in the beginning. He spoke Chinese and very few english words. Luckily our LS has many Chinese-speaking members. We find out that Haierbaby is played by mutliple players IRL. 1 of the players leveled up and did the experiece point PT's...where another player would go out seeking NM's,farm, etc. Lately, our LS has yet to hear 1 word from Haierbaby.

Thoughts
This is the part that bugs me the most. Meau, Haierbaby, Multiscan, and Samsang are some of the worst players in the game in terms of EXP PT's. Somehow they made it to L60 with no AF whatsoever and Rank1/2. I believe they are still L60 with /anon on all the time camping everywhere you can think of. A lot of times I'll end up in Davoi just farming the Orcs for items or camping the NM's there. At least 1 out of those players will be there farming/camping the NM's. When I watch them closely, they almost seem to be on a routine able to time everything just right, and able to out voke me everytime. They are even quick to pick out a mob out of a crowd. As many of you know, the Archer Knife's drop is from a placeholder NM. I left all mobs alone in the area except for the placeholder to see if he could pick out the mob fast. As soon as the NM spawned, "Haierbaby provokes Hawkeye Bgnadad (sp?)" WTF?! Bah anyway this rant is going on toolong...I'm just tired of seeing this group go by daily camping every NM known to man, and never losing to anyone. I have reason to believe that they work for IGE's central division in HK and run bots to camp the NM's.

Anyways, lol.... If you see them give them a nasty face and tell em Chinqlinq sent ya ^^ Happy Camping

Ughh.... don't get me started on these 4 idiots after the run ins I've had witht them

Chinq!!!

i need a new linkpearl

There was this chinese girl (I forgot the name), who had gotten to level 30 with NO SUB. Can you imagine that?
Everyone was debatting in Kazham some months ago about this matter.
A theif lvl 30/nothing.

there are alot of people, who are either bots or forigners being paid to play the game. there are the "lucky" bots(luckygirl, luckyboy, ect) in gusgen, mineing seemingly 24 hours a day. iv heard there are "star" bots/people who farm or camp NM, 24/7.
and iv had my own run-ins with rude chinese people farming. i was killing liz in valkrum for skins, linking the 3 to 5 that spawn together to auto target then for 1 hit kill WS. this guy named darkwar cam and started trying to make huge trains, which didnt work so well as i was running around killing liz pretty fast. so i just leave him be, thn he runs up to me in the tunnel, while im fighting 5 lizards. checks me, seeing im clearly over lv37, and areoga's my liz. i killed th one i was fighting, and got 2 of the remaining 4 before he did.
i told him he shouldnt have done that, and then he makes another 20-25 liz train, which i killed more then half of. then he /tell me F my mother, several times in chinese before he left as he couldnt outfarm me.

these people are everywhere, on every server. and weather they are bots, or just multiple people being paid to play on the same character, they are not players playing the game. sadly, i think paying forgieners to play is the new "solution" to SE booting the gil sellers bots.

I have a theory behind the "underleveled SJ's, underanked, and under dressed" Chinese players. Many of them who play, play the English edition. I've found that many of them can't read much English either lol. If you think about it, how do they get through the game without being able to clearly read the quests and missions? I recently met a player, Chinesebaby, whom I had a decent English conversation with, since I can't speak Chinese very well. She/he absolutely loves he game, doesn't play for money for the most part, and isn't being paid to play. Although he/she is having a hard time playing the game because he/she doesn't know what's going on for the most part. So that's just one of my theories, but forsure CN, Luck, Haierbaby's Crew, and Cool are definitely the one's being paid to farm. I don't have much other info on anything else though. I want to get them banned from our server, please help me with any clue's/additions any of you may knotice! Thank you ^^ see you in game~

what about those high lvl's in that group called coolmonk, coolgirl, coolmage etc., are they bots?

Luckboy, Luckgirl, Luckmoon, and Luckstar, are Chinese gil sellers, imo.

Luckgirl used to be in my linkshell when I first joined. Soon after most of use dropped that one and made a new one. What I remember of Luckgirl was that she never said anything except when she had died and wanted one of us to come raise her (which was at least twice each night).

I truly hate luckboy and luckgirl solely because they undercut AH prices on ores and when everone else sells for that price they undercut again. I gave up on mining because of them and evertime I see them I give them a {/slap} and I suggest you do too.

These lucks are run by more then one person, this I do know. I have had conversations with luckstar.(well broke convos. but whatever). He told me that he is paid to farm the mine and that is why they never seem to have mining equipment. I tried to talk to him the next day and he claims that he doesn't know who I am.

Also a few others I know that are either bots or gil farmers:

bena
benb

Also a few that I know of that steal mining spots but don't have any proof that they are bots or gil farmers

mrcool
theend

I have been mining that place for a few weeks now. And i know a GM has been called on luckstar but nothing has happenned, though I do not know why the GM was called.

OOF.. benB.. Mr Cool. .I know that gang well.. they're always farming Crawlers nest, for a while we use to call them the seseme street gang. Lol.. I remember, one time their whm died, and they came to our party begging for a raise. But it was strange, they were talking in this alien language, but we knew they needed help cause they would SOS every now and then. We basically said no, I think they ended up paying 5K to a willing whm...

As for Luckgirl.. someone just recently gave her a pearl from my LS.. She's from Hong Kong, don't really know her that well though. I just remember seeing her and Luckboy dead once in Qufim, and figured, damn, these guys aren't that 'lucky'.

I've actually ran into Samsang in Zi'Tah camping goobbues for tree cuttings. I farmed there while he was there and never had any problems. He even told me when there were 2 near him and asked me to come kill it. I know that Multiscan is a straight up ****, tho. I used Sneak Attack and right before I hit the goobbue he Chi Blasted it.(><) Haierbaby usually farms Archer's Knives from what I've seen. Never seen Meau. That's my 2 cents. Later~

I saw what I believe to be a fishing bot almost killed by a caught monster last night!

I was in gustaburg levelling my NIN, and had worked my way to the cliff. I saw a taru catch a monster, and..;. not do anything. I walked closer to see what was going on, and the person that was fishing beside said Taru said in broken english "NO attack" and some slight variations. I gave him a /nod to show that I understood.

The taru ended casting about 4 more times, being attacked the entire time, getting down to about 1/4 life before it even started fighting back, and only then for pitiful 1-2 damage per hit. I ended up walking away before seeing the conclusion, but it seems that SE has taken a step against fish bots at least by having the monsters caught aggro on the person tha caught them.

/hurray !
