Are the big farm bots gone?

06/23/2022 23:04 Justjoinhereforyou#1
Someone has information from friends or closed secret communities of bot farms.
Did the AGS hit them so hard and cut off the oxygen?
They just stopped farming their millions of dollars and won't come back?
Did they take a break to regroup and come back?
What are the thoughts and moods of the giants of boting?

As far as I can tell, the prices of gold got doubled.
This means that either the demand is higher than before (doubt it), or 100s of bots got banned, so the supply is less like before

It will take a bit of time for the bot companies to reach the previous status

What i can see on my server is that bots can not pass Arthetine. Most of them got banned earlier. Only small percent can reach there. Dont know if they can generate any gold during that stage. For sure they are doing ark pass for t3 1-3 lvl gems as only today over 60k gem chests shown up on EUC with pretty high prices compared to gems if you want to combine yourself. I also think that boters started making and selling gems themselfs. Gems on ah doubled after banwave from 150 pages to over 300 atm. Gems are decent source of gold and they sell in an eye blink.

I am seeing lots of bots honing at Vern and at the adventurer's guild in Rania village so they are not getting blocked at Arthentine.

After that I don't see them but I doubt they are getting banned. Gold prices have stopped rising.

I am on KP bot discord. Bots are banned trough leveling. Reseler Has no clue what is going on and when it will be fixed. Its like that for few days already.
I had over 20 channels in Vern before right now just 1.

There's over 25 channels in Vern on my server.

If KP bot is broken, there's obviously another bot that isn't.

This is what Rania village looks like.

They are getting banned somewhere midway tho. There are zero fish from gatherbots on the market pretty much.
Also I think there are zero t3 gem chests from ark pass(I don't follow this item religiosly so might be mistaken tho) so bots most likely get shutdown before they can claim level7 ark pass rewards.

Fishbots are nuked sure, but they are getting gold another way, probably through unas.

If bots were really getting shutdown in any meaningful amount, rmt prices would be going higher, but they aren't.

You can't really go higher on gold prices since you are competing with legal in-game exchange.
There is a tipping point where player will think twice if it's worth doing RMT if the price is not that great compared to legal in-game exchange.
Right now I think via RMT you get 1.7x more gold compared to exchange.
While 2 or so weeks ago it was over 3x.

The gold prices can get higher.

When amazon did the massive ban wave, the legal exchange price went up as well. It doesn't stay constant.

When the legal exchange price goes up, then the bots can also increase their prices. They obviously can't sell for more than the legal exchange.

what do you mean ? vykas ??
06/27/2022 04:02 temp32#13
He means when vykas releases there will be 1 million bots.

It seems like the detection is easily bypassed by making the bot do emotes.

nope
07/15/2022 08:05 Tallyhawk13#15
the numbers are stable lower than 300K players, so big bots companies are not back (yet)
