I took my new Academy Grad. lvl40 Overlord ... and saw a bot train standing by the gk in dion ... the pp was buffin and when they finished I tagged em with SoulShield , guess what ... it rebuffed Shield3 ... so I did it again ... and again .. and agian lol ...
seems to me the setup wanted the Shield3 not the SoulShield3 ... same exact effect diff name .. and no matter how many times I buffed it with SS it redid the buff itself ...
you would think a live player would see its the same and not waste the mp ... or even non english speaker would say " ??? " or some such ...
so I am gonna use this now as an indicator of bots in the field if I have any reservations about groups and duo's
and maybe a gm or two could try this technique out ;)
auto-accept rez is also a good indicator for a bot ;)
No idea who it was that said it or where but I remember someone posting that they use rez (skill not scroll) on bot groups. Pick on 1 bot, see if it auto accepts and watch it get either very confused or its butt kicked again and again by mobs when the rest of the group doesn't show up ;)
