This is beyond ridiculous.
Through discussion in global chat we have established that dozens of people have reported this guy, I’ve reported him every single day for almost 2 weeks, some days multiple times out of frustration but nothing is done.
He runs the exact same route for DAYS ON END. The same nodes in order over and over again with interspersed visits to the TP in Everfall to list the ore exactly 0.01 under whatever is already listed every time.
It’s such obvious and egregious botting that I’m now pretty sure that Amazon must be leaving this guy to do it on purpose.
Here is fellow Frislandia server member “Cosmiqz” Already mining a node as the bot comes over to it and starts glitching out due to not being able to mine a node already being mined. It swings it’s great axe until the node disappears, then moves on to the next node.
Here is the bot and me, after the first time I mined all the nodes in front of it for a few minutes and glitched it out to to stand still.
Here it is at the window in the trade post, It runs to all possible locations for trade post interaction throughout the different upgrade levels before always ended up at this window on the inside of the post.
Another Frislandia server member Slaytanic X managed to trap the bot against a tree the other day by breaking it’s reset routine. We discovered that if it gets stuck anywhere it looks for the nearest bush to go and uproot before returning to it’s previous path so that it avoids what it got stuck on… However if it gets stuck during that process of unsticking itself, it gets really stuck. In this case a dead tree was between the bot and the bush it wanted to reset itself with.
And this is me and the bot EIGHT HOURS LATER, it is still running and jumping against a dead tree. Still desperately trying to follow it’s little reset routine.
It’s been WEEKS now.
He’s still at it, on the exact same path every single time…
Why won’t Amazon do anything?
