Dungeon Running Bots

G1Countdown

✭✭✭✭✭
Has anyone else encountered them while doing this dungeon event? I mean, while the group finder is working?

I was running Banished Cells 1 and there was very clearly a bot tank doing the run. It ran without sprinting through the dungeon stopping at certain points (Its movements reminded me of bots in starter zones since it was stopping at certain points). It would taunt and do nothing else (just stand there). And, kept running even when it hit a door it couldn't get through yet (as if the door was open). It also refused to reply to chat/messages (that one didn't surprise me).

Anyone else experience this? Or am I nuts?

    Kick them from grp if they don't respond with a greeting. Who doesn't at least say "Hi" when entering a grp?

    You'd be surprised with the huge amount of people that don't greet, rush and leave. ;)

    At least 90% of the time when I do randoms the only time people talk is when the dungeon is finished. A 'tygg' and that's it.

    Almost every battleground I've been in? It's almost refreshing to hear someone curse or whoop or "good job".

    I don't say much, but I do greet people. I'm sure people are running bots for sure.

    Can't tell you how many respectable players I've seen over the years grinding out skill lines with bot programs.

    Yes, I reported and yes they are still here.

    Idk, I've never been in a grp where they don't say hello.

    Maybe it's because I say hello and they feel obligated to reply. That's my experience anyway.

    Many on the NA server are japanese. I can't find it in myself to really fault them for not wanting to learn english just to play a game.

    Met such bot too. He was doing nothing but stand in middle of zone till boss dead then move to next boss without fighting trash, and stand in middle of next boss zone.

    Yesterday I encounter fake tank with 500+CP 16K HP and resto staff who only stay still and rarely use heavy attack during combat, since that was DLC dungeon, Bloodroot Forge and there was a lot of mechanics what those tank fail every time and just lay on ground dead, he still accepted resurrections and run forward in dungeons, we kicked him when he tried cross lava not by jumping rocks but by walking, clearly he shows too much artificial stupidity for human.

    Maybe it was ZoS of Xmas past (sorry couldn't resist that comment) :)
    all levity aside.
    In the process of completing an end boss (random dungeon), my party and I died, and we couldn't continue for 10mins until a fifth entity was killed by the end boss.

    Might not have been a bot tbh. Had the same issue, guy would run aggro all enemies and bring them to the boss then stand there and do nothing. Tried kicking, then he started crying in chat "whoooo tried to kick me". Undaunted event is bringing out the idiots in groups.

    The part that made me really think this was a bot was that the character was running straight into a wall/door that was shut. That's not normal behavior.

    I usually greet people in a dungeon, but not likely in BG which is a very short experience and most people quit when the score screen pops up, without a word.
