Well their numbers are increasing since the last merge and now they not just automated they have new tricks.
Profile:
1. Automated - typical bot
a. Using aoe on the single spot over several hours
b. 1v1 with the mob with skills
c. They don't care about you standing in the middle of their mob spot. They will even attack the mobs you already attacked.
2. Teleporting from one mob to another - in a blink they are over the other mob... not always but most of the time.
3. Long range looting - they don't move a single tile but they can loot from far dead mob
4. They say something over time at normal chat... like Q Q O.O ??
5. They don't reply when you ask "are you a bot" over different channels. Even on different languages anyone can understand your IGN.. CLASS.. LEVEL, BOT and a ? in a sentence.
6. They have some temporary body displacement - one time they are there and for another XX seconds the will be gone on the spot but the channel on the friend list doesn't change. Then poof they are back again.
7. Levels and maps varies.. some are ML30-35 boosting in condor and muka and to somewhere I can't track (all I had is the channel from the friendlist - I added them). Some are farming dna (izlude mermaid) or seeds (like the ML35 sm at FF). Some are at Forgotten Payon according to the pubchat.
Their activity is mostly on weekends with X5 exp.. the SM I reported botting from condor is now ML22 after a boosting from a ML30 knight who is a botter too (same guild). The SM and Knight is still online on the same channel (8).
