New World’s bots are hogging the best fishing spots
Where there's an MMO, there are usually bots. Players typically use them to make busy work like mining or foraging a lot easier, though others find it a tad cheeky as it makes it harder for them to grind certain spots for items legitimately. New World is indeed an MMORPG, so, as the way of the world decrees, the bots have shown up, almost like a rite of passage.
Players have been taking to the game's subreddit over the past few days to query the odd behaviour of the adventurers they've been coming across in Aeternum (thanks, Icy Veins). Some posts show fishing spots packed with adventures cycling through their set animations, whereas others reveal players mining for rocks that haven't even spawned yet. Yup, it certainly looks like there are oodles of bots in New World right now.
At the time of writing, most of the bots are busy doing your typical busy work like fishing and mining rocks. You'll notice a few giveaways like the simple names of the characters like "iron1", "iron2", and "iron3", or the fact you can nudge them about without much reaction as their programming evidently doesn't really account for it.
