Here is a Hero Online Guide to Hunting Bots. I collect this guide from official forum. So give credit to original author. I just hope this guide can help some hero online gold players.
Though common players can never eliminate bots from the game we can effectively harass them and even cause them to lose some money and/or exp. The following is a comprehensive guide on how to decipher bot code names, how to bounty bots the smart way, and methods for fighting bots. In addition I will continually populate a list of coded bot names so that maybe the GM's can ban them without having to spend the time to crack their code names.
Key words: PVP Self Defense, Bounty, Macro, Bot, Automouse,
The following is an example of how to crack bot code names
Example of a coded bot name: PKlllllllPK
Here we have 7 unknowns (could be i's or could be L's).
Open your chat and click on the botter. This is your original whisper (the correct name). Hit (...) after the name to send a whisper.
Now open up the chat bar and hit the up arrow. This will pull the original whisper back up (PKlllllllPK ...)
Replace the last unknown with an L.
(PKllllllLPK ...) hit enter. If the whisper doesn't work then we know the last unknown is an I. Write this down on a piece of paper. On the blank chat dialog box hit up to pull the original whisper back up (PKlllllllPk ...).
Replace the second to the last unknown with an L.
(PKlllllLlPK ...) hit enter. If the whisper works then we know that the second to last letter is an L.
Repeat this process until you have cracked the botter's code name!
Botter code name cracked: PKiLiLiLiPK
How to bounty bots the smart way:
The number one goal when you bounty bots is to create and maintain a system where you can continuously kill them without having to bounty them more than once. In order to do this you must activate [b]PVP Self Defense[/b]. Follow theses steps:
1.Have a friend or an alternate character place the hero online gold on the bot. This will insure that your main character stays within close proximity to the targeted bot, increasing your chances of getting your bounty money back.
2.Once bounty is placed, activate PVP bounty and hit the targeted bot a couple of times (don't kill the bot at this point).
3.Turn off bounty and stand close to the targeted bot. It will hit you and PVP Self Defense will become activated.
4.Now you can continually kill the bot over and over as long as PVP Self Defense is activated.
5.Caution: if you go into portals, your PVP Self Defense may become deactivated (note charming or going to CM doesn't deactivate it)
6.If you die or activate bounty, PVP Self Defense will become deactivated.
Harassing the bots:
For the most part, the purpose of a bot is to farm gold. This may be for a dishonest individual player hero online gold, it may be for an online gold selling company. The intent of this thread is to get honest players to harass the bots as a deterrent. We must all understand that it is up to the game developers to effectively eliminate bots. GM's can ban individual bots, but that does not in any way address the root of the bot problem. With that said, as honest players, together we can continually kill bots so that they have a hard time making money in our favorite grinding areas. From what I have observed, most bots are Musas with Str/Int builds. The best way to kill these bots is by debuffing their PoW and hitting them with physical attacks and quick, lower level skills. As you keep killing them, they will not be able to farm and they will be wasting pot money. They will continually return to the tavern to re-pot. Sometimes the bot will die from mobs, this is great because they will lose exp as well. Lastly, always look for nearby bot noobs that the botters are plvling. Simply lure mobs to them and enjoy the onslaught.
