(I have yet to see that damn wolfhound!).

I've seen three and I haven't even spent that much time in low level zones recently.

I noticed a lot fewer people in the banks after the patch, but that may have been why. People still downloading as well as how late I was on. Dye stations and cheap respects may have also have also drawn players from other ares. Wayrest temple was swamped with players. But even fishing in out of the way locations, I saw plenty of people run by, so I don't think there has been that great of a drop.

Some are already in jail. I read an article once about wow GOld farming by prisoners at a Chinese jail. That was thier labor not thier free time.

I feel the same way about bots and stopped playing while the issue was resolved.

I expected that much of the bot issue was gold sellers trying to get in quickly and intensely to get a good supply of materials and gold before Wildstar came out. I understand they are now in Wildstar and will probably bleed that game to death until the next game comes out before they move on. The gold sellers do not have unlimited resources, so I was guessing that they would hit new games hard at the onset and back off as other games required attention.

There are still gold sellers in the game. I know where they hang out and I do occasionally see one. They tend to blend in better. Bot farmers seem to be gone, or in places I do not go.

In the first month, there was a massive blob of players all in the place in the game progression. Dark anchors were easy to get groups together simply because there were so many people around. I only saw a couple level 50 veteran rank players in the first month. I never did a group dungeon, but I would imagine it was easy to get people.

Now you cannot sneeze without a veteran rank person yelling "Gesundheit!" (yes, I have used that joke before).

The players are now spread out across 50 levels and 12 veteran ranks. There are still a lot of people round, but waiting is often required for enough people to do an anchor and sometimes there are only three of us (which is really fun and can be challenging if we are all level appropriate).

I still farm the starting areas, with a level appropriate character. There are a ton of low level characters doing quests in those areas, along with a few people farming low-level materials there. No bots.

They are a curse, a scourge that I don't believe anyone is able to combat effectively. Gold-sellers and bots. Personally I despise them. I mean it I really do I have no issues stating if I possibly could I would do anything to eradicate their practice. They spoil MMOs on start up, ruining the community, breaking any desire to play such games. I know these ARE only games but what they do is still unethical and sick. I actually would love to see those who do such at least face some kind of community service. If not a jail sentence unless that is over-reacting. If it is I don't really care. I hate them, I really do.

I was expecting you to call for beheadings. Community service is fairly reasonable I think. You'd have to put a lot of work into extraditing them into the US for that though. :?.

Actually when they get thrown in Jail in China they force you to farm gold to help pay for your jail sentence.

People are in my way wherever I go. So I'd say the population is healthy enough.

I still don't understand how so many people fit in the bank in Rivenspire. It's like a clown car in there.

Hah! It's my place to go at Vet rank. Really nice layout to the city and no queues.
