A small unscientific study in how bots level

So, we got rid of the bots farming dungeon bosses it seems? Then we got the bots farming the instaspawning jutenotes outside fort Arand on EP in stonefalls. And also the regular mat farming bots that run in circles.

But bots are seen at high levels, so how do they do it? I know for sure at least how they do it partway in stonefalls on EP.

Saw a group of bots running around and kept killing things in Starved Plains, over and over and over again. I suppose to grind out levels. Then I noticed the bots in vivecs antlers, some of the names I remembered seeing in starved plains. They always seem to be templars and use the same attacks over and over. When one bot get a full inventory, it seems they run the long way to Ebonheart to sell at a vendor, then run the same path back again and.. somehow syncing with the other bots. Where they go from there, I have no idea, but I suspect they move on to another area eventually and repeat and finally reach coldharbor.

Anyone else got any insight into this? Or have any ideas how to stop the bots in their tracks?

    I am not sure of any way to stop bots save for reporting the names of the group in a ticket in game hoping the mods will look into it though its hard to prove wether its bots or real players ect save for the ridiculous names and their behavior.

    As for lvling, I still see some of them grouped up running solo dungeons on a set path collecting items, farming the boss in a circle track through the dungeon since the bosses now reset due to completion of the dungeon.

    Some times life steals the stairs right out from beneath your feet, you have to hold on by whatever means even if the risk are too high. Never give up, eventually you will find a new stair has formed right beneath your foot where you left off.
