Godl bots vs. Spawn rate

[William-CL]

First of all, I don't support bots, never have never will. But has anyone noticed a difference in spawn rates since the last couple bans? Anyway, here is my theory.
Mobs spawn at a set rate, yet more only spawn if another is killed. So if you are the only one killing them in an area, then you will have to move around a lot to find the others, including the new spawns that only have a limited chance of spawning around you. I only say this cause I was in the bandit den with my 42 2H doing the jewel quests, and have noticed that when I was doing it before the ban, it was filled with bots, yet I still got more XP faster cause the mobs were being killed faster elswhere cause them to spawn more around me. Now I am Forced to move around a lot to other areas in the den cause I kill all the mobs around me and no more are spawning. When I move I usually see a big group of mobs huddled together, after I kill them, I go back to My original spot, and see more mobs there. I have gained a lot less XP than the time before the bans. Has anyone else had trouble with spawn rates?
(This does not include the cave, cause that already has sh1tty spawn rates.

you didnt know this? obviously more mobs being killed will mean a faster spawn rate >.>

[Verfo]

i had that problem once after the bot ban there wasnt any monsters to kill but at least i could log in

You missed my point -.- I knew that
My theory wasn't that, My theory was that you actually get more XP due to gold bots at the lower lvls...

Correlation does not equal causation. Have you noticed any other variables that may effect your results?

[William-CL]

No. Might just be a bad day for me lol.

[Mage Pker]

you wouldn't get more exp in the long run cuz you'll keep getting ksed >.>

I haven't noticed any such thing, probably because it's not true at all.

Ksing doesn't reduce your xp just steals loot and forces you to swap targets...

[-.-]

you get xp for hitting anything...

in a high bot area, I'll hit everything around me for 51% of its hp, i dont bother killing it, a bot will kill for me but i get items and half the xp, but since i only waste like half second on mob i can move from mob to mob a alot faster so i get faster exp than killing a mob myself

lol goldbots dont give ANYTHING good only bad, there are a bunch of goldbots in special areas becouse there is a good spawn for them. they dont increase the spawn...

[iGod]

Only thing i noticed is that roc mountain mobs spawn too slow..

[LillDev!l]

its not even true that more ppl who kill = faster spawnrate.
for example spawnrate when your alone in a yacha room is really good, when a second person walks in theres no spawn left at all ...

but well, ill stick to finding more or less bot free area's ^^

Depends on the area. Bandit Den is was usually free underneath the Bride with fast spawn rate. That;s where I noticed the decrease and notice piles of Bandits that haven't been killed by the usual gold bots. I know that Gold bots are bad, what I'm implying that they need to have mobs spawn faster and wonder more in certain areas. and rather than spawn in a different far off area, they spawn relatively close to where they died.

its not even true that more ppl who kill = faster spawnrate.

All cave rooms are like that except the Strong/Power earth ghosts and Soldier/Warrior earth ghosts. Cave = bad spawns if there are 2 ppl lol. But that's cause Cave spawns are all within a small room and smaller space which is why they die faster. (I absolutely hate the mole claw quest, never finished 4 of them lol)

I haven't noticed any such thing, probably because it's not true at all.

Again, I think it depends on the area and the size of the area. I Love seeing no gold bots, but I just hate wondering around looking for groups of 8 mobs. Especially on a euro lol.

There aren't any goldbots at snipers anymore. woot
