Please stop this charade!

    We all know (at least most of us) Xihua stone is a rare crafting material, hard to find and hard to get. But lately some "smart" people find a way to abuse this rare material. They park their character at some well know spawn point of Xihua stone node in Baxian Plateau, left their character afk and make auto macro (F key) for gathering all day long. I've already so many ppl doing this last week and i donno whether gameforge takes my reports in to consideration or not, but people keep doing it, even at this very moment.


    Please, either stop people dominating spawn points or make Xihua stone more abundant, so nobody has to care about it anymore.

    Go pk kill them?

    Well, I have also thought same thing. But since I've never killed or play pvp before, I don't know how the system works. I heard before that there are some penalties for killing people. Does it worth to make an alt char (which i dont have atm), just to go and kill those cheaters?


    And why the hell I have to deal w/ them? Isnt it gameforge's job to handle these people?

    Even if you kill them they gonna respawn with just 1 click in same place for like 1,5g.

    They lose pretty much nothing on it , however you do lose qi for killing them which at the end gonna make you sit in jail for few hours moving stones or 8h afk reading .

    On maxed bad qi you do keep getting hit by lightnings with heavily decreased hp and others can just attack you freely .

    So far bots are farming xihua for several days now for whole day and night .

    Looks like there's like 5/6 afk botters where someone owns 2 of them while other 3/4 are someone's else .

    If you ask if nodes respawn while they just practically in them ,then yes they still does respawn .

    I think the most ideal solution's putting mobs close to xihua stone spawn points or changing spawn points close to mobs...so nobdy can left their character afk i guess

    I already used ticket on customer support and report in game to report them i'm waiting for any solution from gameforge.

    using P.K is quit risky if it's ur main character, ur lost a lot of honor wich means fortune loot/identify decreasse hard and if you get catched u go to jail wich mean listening to a monk speech for 8 hours or try to get faster away and have to play like 1-2hours to get out with working.

    Sometimes the justice is blind

    In the end, we are all players, we are not supposed to have responsibility to fix or find a solution for cheating. We can only report it, like you did. But as I have seen in different rare material spawn points, like dust hearts or rattan crystal, there re always mob spawn very close to it, so in order to collect it, u have to kill the mob. It's very simple solution for afk farming.

    I just realized something interesting. Either i'm in different channel in the game or gameforge has taken ur report into consideration? Cuz so far i havent seen a single afk parking and farming guy. They all vanished O.o

    They won't just disappear until they do something with it . Those bots surerly reported already by many players yet it changed nothing so far and don't seem to going to anytime soon. Not every botter is as persistent as others eg. Yellowstone + Maide [same person] and some less exk & blacktiger. I have seen few other bots but they aren't farming in one place without break for whole days but rather some hours and dont really see them for some

    senorchang seems like you're new in gathering or don't know how it is .

    Node respawn on average like 2 times per hour and their locations are fixed at which they can spawn.

    Why would you throw soap at them if there's no chance you can steal it from them unless you're standing next to one as they constantly spam gather button so as soon as node spawn it's already gone in next 4s.


    "and not quite sure how u know they are botting and are not just normal players running around and checking if some nodes are up."

    Sounds like you never saw any botter . Or you going to tell me person standing in same place for several days night and day spamming F key and cc break skill contantly not bot . If you want go and kill one when he's watching over one and see he will position over node he was farming on before and won't care if you attack him or not.

    So far it seems nothing changed. Gameforge doesnt care at all or who knows they may have some relationship w/ gameforge workers. I just counted 6 ppl in different spawning spots of xihua stone, afk macroing. How many spawn points re there in total, like 10-12? Incompetency of gameforge really disappoints me.
