Every time i got to any of the “popular spots” for farming leather the same person, standing in the same spot, casting the same 2-3 spells on infinite repeat tagging everything and preventing anyone else from using that area…
price of leather has dropped to the point of barely worth selling already.
I have reported the exact same person, who’s there morning, night, afternoon, anytime i go, never moves, never speaks…What does it take for blizzard to actually intervene? Economy is going to be trashed within the first month.
I would love to know what server has leather whos price is barely worth farming. Heavy Callous Hide sells for 2k-3k each on my server, and it is killing me as a leatherworker
Yeah a popular bastion cave had 2 moonlit druids they never moved they tab target enemies and players when you click them and watch. Stuff id target and kill they also hit theyd still not move or talk. They didn’t act like players. After the two logged out the same time.
You can report them and they will disappear in short order. Just make sure they’re a bot, because some people do that while they’re watching TV. Try talking to them first.
Not only is it 100-1 a bot, it’s also against their TOS to disrupt an area like this, but I have reported the exact same druid for 5 straight days and blizzard doesn’t do a damn thing about it…
got excited this evening when i finished my dailies and did my check of my usual spot and it wasn’t there…only there 2 mins and it logs back in and starts tagging every mob instantly again.
Blizzard will not do anything until people start leaving the game again. As long as they are getting paid, they do not care if it’s a bot or not. Only thing they care about it the bottom line.
Blizzards only responses to major bot problems have been to nerf the crap out of the farms the bots are running, rather then actually go after the botters. My server economy is already junked. Leather is under 1g, heavy was down to 50g today, hides are still holding ok, but are down to like 2k from the 8-10k they were a week ago.
They could at least make skinning like any other profession, so that one person tagging every mob doesn’t automatically screw up everyone else…could then just farm over the bot and it wouldn’t affect anyone.
When I find these I sometimes stand there and tag along with them for a while and then loot. But it gets boring fast. I usually don’t stick around for more than 10 minutes and I dance and wave a lot so people realize I’m not botting.
Idk about bots, but Blizzard has done small things to curb skinning spots.
For example, when you use to go into the Hall of Beasts For a world quest and kill the anima wyrms it was good skinning. That has since been nerfed and none of the wyrms in that location are skinnable.
Heavy Callous is still worth its weight in gold, and the other leather has seen drastic drops comparatively because of just how much you have to skin to see Callous hides in sufficient amounts.
What will help everyone involved is if the rate is increased. I know your OP was about Bots, but it would sure help going to less optimal spots if the drop chances were better.
I’ve actually noticed the less optimal spots seem to have the most hide drops…
problem is whenever i start farming any area, start finding these bots within days
Can confirm that the cave druids are in fact bots and not just absent-minded multitaskers. No actual player would let me steal as many skins from them as I have whenever I’ve seen one.
