Heh, cool. It's always satisfying to kill off a bot, but it's ultimately futile until Outspark takes real measures to fix the problem. This touches on a bot(killer)-related experience I had last night

I don't want to defend bots and I'm not going to, but seriously some of the self-appointed train pulling bot killers out there are more annoying than the actual bots. It's cool when someone, or a group like you guys, actually know what they're doing, but half the time it's just some jackass trailing trains of mobs around the map causing more problems for people than the bots do. Bots are annoying and KS, but some of these guys get people killed.

Also, the automatic assumption that a quiet cleric is a bot irritates me. I went in and played on my cleric for about an hour last night when I got home. I was killing in burning hills and chattering away in whisper box with someone when next thing I know like 80 bats and gold slimes are all over my ass. I ended up scroll porting back to Roumen. I wasn't kill stealing I was just quietly doing my thing.

I went back and waited around and heard people shouting complaints about someone pulling trails of mobs and getting them killed, so I said something and the guy said he was killing the botters. He said he asked me if I was a bot and since I didn't answer he assumed I was. He asked in normal chat though and I was in whisper, so I never noticed it. I've also been killed by trains on my archer and mage as well just because I was unlucky enough to be in between the bot and the jackass trying to kill it. It's honestly more irritating than the kill stealing to me.
