Absurd Gold farming bots out of control + Suggestion to fix

[TheBlackAbbot]

Hello my name is The Sigma and I play on Petermannland.
So this is what happened and it was hilarious. Around mid-day in the starting area of Windsward there where a train of gold farming bots.
They where taking quests alltogether, then reaching quest points, and killing enemies.
The funniest thing was that I aggroed the zombies of one of the first quests, start running around with the aggro, and those bots they where following me trying to kill the monsters!!

At some point, more bots joined the party because they where logging not simultaneusly ( to not steal the aggro of monsters between each other ) They where around 10!!

So what they do basically is to
1 ) create one character with a randomized name like ASDFD9393
2) taking the quests of the starting area,
3) doing the quests. Reaching the quests point also and killing with some kind of absurd system the monsters. They can find and kill the enemies by tracking them. They where total AIs and very well coded
4) at some point they probably transfer the gold coins to a main account and then they where logging out All of them in the same exact spot in front of the quest giver. (probably at this point those character now are useless and they get deleted/replaced by new ones )

How to fix?
Well. I would totally remove the possibility to transfer gold since level 1. Let at least players reach level 20 or something.

Hope some dev aknowledges this issue

I like the buffer to stop the bulk of them. but we also need something to stop the high leveled botters in fishing no kiting zones like outside WW’s waterfall area and secret fishing spot. I have seen 25+ leveled bots there afking for days. I hope AGS thinks of adding a lot more ways to stop botting because if they grow into a larger issue if gone ignored too long.

25 is easy, i once saw one bot lvl 44

they really should add extra npcs into more areas. these bots all level usually from fishing which shows the insane amount of fish they gather. the owner manually even moves them to the trading post to sell it all and sometimes even gears them so they are less suspicious to players reporting them.

some isaw the other day on my server Pluto. btw they still there after reporting them after 5 days.

In the starting zones, in some servers you see more bots doing the new level up for gold than actually real players.

does a transfer move your money through servers? if so its probably the reason why they do that. I would’ve assumed it was just server based farming before transfers and now they bot in more of a mass scale and transfer them into main holder accounts to transfer servers if the customers are in other worlds.
