You missed claiming a NM.

[Gunslinger]

When I lose a NM claim my first thought is usually, "awesome, more hours of my life wasted." After that, it moves to the "claimed purple" phase, etc.

There are quite a few botters out there but you'll just have to QQ about it until you get claim, most of the time people don't bot smaller NM's (But it is possible that some do).

Now if we're talking HNM's... If you claim one on Kujata you're botting, nuff said'

[Yugl]

I kind of find it funny that people would get pissed at botters for claiming simple NMs, but they act like botting is normal for HNMs. Clearly one justifies botting and the other doesn't right?

Edit: Of course I'm not suggesting to bot both NMs and HNMs, I'm just saying that botting in general is viewed differently depending on the situation (I personally believe no bots should be used ever).

Other botting LS's complaining about other botting LS's always made me lol. Get a better bot, or bot more.

I just don't camp anything ever, and only run battlefields/instanced content/pop NMs. So much freaking easier and more efficient, I'm a lot happier and have a lot more free time as a result.

It's a personal choice and there are some items I will never see, but it works.

yea I think its getting kinda silly now days, some ls forums on my server were hacked and was posted on server forums showing them raising money for NASA(or w/e that new bot made by ffapp guy was called?) Its like who has the better bot these days cause botting is so "normal" now.

What i've learned to do is get really friendly with GMs.

I mean, really, REALLY friendly.

To the point where they show up during windows :3...

Its fun seeing Fafnir flail or be kited to a new ls \(`-')b

Also: Alantinka <3

[Jingseng]

clearly, the solution is ZNM!!!

Now go bot some mobs to take pictures of

[altwight]

lol @ botting pictures. I also find it pretty stupid how botting HNMs is basically accepted nowadays but botting something like argus is frowned upon. Even though botting HNMs people tend to frown more on the argus situations. Maybe because it's more of a personal level than camping a HNM for your LS ?

[Hanyoko]

Its much like everything else SE. Their response is very late if ever. The bot makers are spending time making their bot to sell for their own profit. SE's team of developers work on 'fixing' version-4 of the bot. Untill they start taking precautionary steps on all these issues they will never go away. Current day anti-virus vendors are about maybe a week or less behind on new threats. The virus writers are still in the lead, but the 'good guys' are staying on their toes.

[Brill Weave]

It's this simple. You think you are the best person there. So if another person beats you to it, they are obviously cheating since you're as good as you are(not saying you as in you, the OP.) And in the end it's easier for people to soothe their own bruised egos by saying someone botted etc.

[Tomiko]

It was way more fun to drag Bonzey up into the room to deal with botters anyway >.>

Oh Bonzey.

Easily my favourite Elmer video.

As for the topic, I say it about certain others. It all depends on who claims and how often they claim really. If its the same person claiming on a regular basis, then I feel that they're most likely botting.

[Deadgye]

Anybody who thinks somebody is dirt for botting HNM back in the day obviously never played endgame back then. Fight fire with fire as they say, even if it is a little immoral. The ones who deserve to be called dirt imo are those who took those claiming bots outside of HNM events and used them for purely personal gains. I have no respect for those who originally made it so that the claim delay needed to be implemented, but I also have no idea where to draw the line between those who started botting HNM and those who did it to have a fighting chance.

Ironically I claimed both KB and fafnir without using a bot. lol How much exp did you lose when we zombied KB altwight? :>
