Suspicious behavior

Knottypine

There were a couple of players in Davon's Watch that were acting peculiar... with names similar to those of users that are generally spamming chat with gold selling. They're not doing anything report worthy, and could very well be someone's ALT's. The pattern just seems really odd though, consisting of sneaking, jumping, inventory check. This loops on and on, I just recorded snippets of each one. Thoughts?

I don't know how to edit out names... And I am very bad at video publishing.

Thanks though.

Remember, naming/shaming, you should hide the names in the vids .

That said, they seem to be trying to do multiple actions quickly, with the recent duping exploit going public, I will guess the bots are trying something new, like duplicating in the inventory by doing a lot of quick actions, maybe. Only a guess though.

Probably indeed attempts to find more rapid-action exploits. One thing that strikes me in both video's though is that somehow the jumps they perform seems to be some sort of double-jump, looks to me as if something is off there.

If I had to guess.... spam fail.

It could be a lag/display/encoding issue, I've seen people sneaking, kinda glide, then went back to normal, and some other weird effects by completly normal players, so I would not focus on that . The fact they seem to do 4 actions so quickly however, might show something else.

@zos_jessicaFolsom Taggin you just in case this is something new from the bots

Agreed. It was continuous. Repeating over and over, I only watched for a few minutes while I recorded. My video edited attempts are very poor.

It was in no way meant as an insult in case you took it that way, just the sad fact of converting to formats youtube will be able to digest .

No I didn't take anything the wrong way. lol

If they had regular player names, I would not have even taken notice. But one of them I saw hanging around the bank earlier, and then again out in the town. Both of these players had jumbled up names and were performing identical actions, which is what drew my attention to it.

People are still hopeful about the game, I find that very suspicious behaviour.
