They do this for hours. You just need to program your mouse to do it.
And yes they are not there, they do not respond and they do not even move, like if you are going to farm collectibles you kill 3 or 4 camps, not killing 1 mob and wait him to respawn and kill him again while haveing 6 mobes at 3 steps.
It is not abaout the ilvl that they shouold not do it because of that, I said that to point that bots are not only low level players.
I just hit tier 2, but I do this and watch movies with VLC over my chat… Likely a lot are, you’re correct, but not EVERYONE who sits there and doesnt respond is botting my man.
how do you know they are not there ? lol
maybe they think that mob drops the item are u sure its not a named npc ?
I did this today for like 2 hours farming collectibles on my second monitor with sound turned of ingame, while watching videos on my main monitor.
The only thing i did ingame was exactly what you sayed.
When i see the camp spawn i kill it and continue watching videos.
It is not the same, because what you said is a physical input from your keyboard, and I am talking about programed digital inputs in the game(and this is external software).
If the person is pressing a key to do the AOE, then that’s not AFK farming or botting.
How did you determine external software is being used?
On your end, theres no way you can prove that they arent. Again, I agree a lot are, but, you’d have no way to tell the difference between me doing what I said, and a bot by just standing there watching.
No, but developers can.
How did you determine they are AFK?
I farm herbs & ore around the typical location, where real bots are running through and doing quests. Just because I follow the same path, does that consider myself to be botting?
You should really be 100% sure, when you openly say someone is using botting software or afk mouse macros, without evidence. Plus naming & shaming without proof can get you banned from the forums … just saying

You don’t actually know they are afk though. They could be doing the adventurer’s journal and trying to get collectibles. The name, the ilvl isn’t a gold bot. So many people are getting banned for things they claim they didn’t do don’t report players because they are standing in one place. I was killing cactus to get a collectible drop and just stood there with reverse gravity. I’m def not a bot. I couldn’t even figure out how to use one if you gave it to me 
I hate botters, but at the same time I understand why it happens. It gets braindead repetitive to do the same stuff every day. Endgame for a lot of people is not about having fun. It’s about becoming really powerful haha.

It actually is forbidden to afk farm though. There is something in the TOS about being at your keyboard while you play.

do u have any actual proof they are botting? i literally do what he does to farm adventure tome stuff which isnt botting, i just stand in a good spot where monsters spawn and aoe them down each time.
It’s not AFK farming to stand in one spot doing AoE. Doing AoE requires pressing buttons, which isn’t AFK.
Correct. If you are pressing the button on your keyboard you are not afk. If you use a software that automatically presses it for you at a certain interval, that is cheating.
