Important information about botting (discussion).

Post by Jaxad0127 »

Does this apply only when fighting, or will you also talk to us if we're sitting and resting?

If a person is sitting then they are not able to attack so are not able to lvl through botting

So as far as I can tell if your out killing monsters and a noob walks up and asks you a question. Say hi ,and answer their question to the best of your ability. Don't be a rude jerk and run away in a repetitive pattern. :P

Some people have the chat log off for a reason - it gets in the way of the field of view when fighting.

Well, I know the bot can sit and pretend that nothing happens when a certain character comes nearby. So I made such a rule, and I will execute it without mercy.

Bots that play dead or AFK. I wonder what other new tricks they can teach their old dogs.

...You're not very up to date on bots, are you? To the more advanced ones out there I'd be almost willing to give the chance to try to sort out my taxation issues. At least I'd have a proper consultation session and a non-turing conversation about it.
This message used to be meaningful.

:lol:

One was following ASL yesterday. It avoided a black scorpion while staying close to him.

Hooking a chatbot up to the bot, or an IM session, wouldn't be too difficult.

The good bots will pick up their drops and sell stuff to stores when they get too full.

Now I have to log out when I have the urge to visit the water closet?

Please put this in the wiki, it will be very informative to all. ;)
