Perfect World: Bots make Yaojing werefoxes look bad

I’ve talked about bots, or third party programs designed to automatically control the movements and actions of online game characters, making a killing in Perfect World in the past month, and remember saying that they’re popping out of the woodwork. I’ve also taken a few screenshots to prove my point. But nothing could have prepared me for what I encountered just recently. Here, take a gander:
Active bots are one thing—by active, I mean moving and killing monsters—since you can’t really tell if the character is being controlled by a program or a living, breathing human being. The only time you can distinguish whether a character is a bot is when it starts stealing your precious kills and loot, or when it runs into obstacles and is unable to stop. These two bozos, on the other hand, take the cake since their being suspended in mid-air and taking no action whatsoever for hours on end clearly indicates they’re bots.
The worst part about this botting problem is that it makes Yaojings, or werefoxes, look real bad since most botters, particularly those who are after expensive monster drops, prefer to use this type of character for the express reason that they deal both magical (innate ability) and physical damage (courtesy of their pets).
There are more bots out there, and I’ll do my best to document them all. I just wish Level Up! Games, local publisher and operator of Perfect World, will do something about the problem. No, I don’t want to file a customer support ticket since I don’t really have the time to fill up a complaint. What players need is a no-nonsense and dedicated game moderator who would scour the gaming world of Pangu in search of these vile characters.
