Flag bots for pvp when they loot the same boss X times in a row

and let players be the "cleaners" of instances by killing bots for fun and profit.

Bot kills the mini-boss/npc 5 times in 5 spawns (or use a simple algo), bot is flagged for pvp or the instance. Bots will then either kill each other over and over or players will be able to kill bots.

If you are a legitimate player farming the boss/miniboss you can do that 5 times then you get a mini game like the chest to prove you are human. If you solve it your counter gets reset so no risks to be griefed.

Step 3: Profit

    That is stupid. Some people boss camp and are not bots. (I do realise nearly all are bots) A much better solution is needed.

    Did you even bother to read the post?

    Actually I missed the last part. I'm sorry for my hasty response. I still do not find it viable, however.

    I like it.
    Best idea out there. Having bots auto kill themselves is beautifully hilarious.

    Hum , quite an interesting idea , maybe it would be able to partially fix the problems.

    Ofc , there is the problem where 10 bots turn on the players at the same time , if the bots dont atk one another , few players will die heh.

    I love this idea. And we should also be able to loot the bots. They would have better loot than the bosses!

    I admit it. I farm bosses more than 10 times in a row...

    Having to solve a chest to prove I am human might be very bad... it would be annoying because I am not good with chests and bots can be programmed to solve chests better than human players.... Does that make bots more human then humans???

    Well if you have a min game asking you to "drop the skooma on the bacon" and you have a bottle of skooma and a pig amongst other items/picture...don t you think you would be able to make Skooma Bacon? That is what I mean by mini game. You could keep it game related like that of make a new mini-game.

    Personally I would love to be able to relieve some anger and frustration on the bots

    Just imagine bots killing each other...almost as good as Skooma fried Bacon

    Just the usual easy level chests...they are not difficult at all. Neat idea. Prove there is a human actually running the Avatar. And get some loot from opening the chests as reward also ...hehe.

    However...it will Not work. The Bot programmers are much too sophisticated. It will take them less than a day to crack any automated system. The only really viable option is in-game GM's.

    So, then the bots would just loot 5 times, automatically log off, log in a different bot, and keep right on going while the cool down works. This idea would work for about 24 hours until they adjusted the bots.
