I dont look at QCDN threads very often, I'm usually busy playing and not talking about playing, but I read this (all 14 pages) and I feel like I should give my two cents. I camp Alkyoneus with Necrosis, among other NMs, and from my experience him botting doesn't seem likely. A few days ago I was camping with Necrosis and a few other folks, Legolias being one of them. I go out to get some food and midway through pouring milk into the bowl I see some fireworks go off, so I come back and we have the claim. Long-ish story short we kill it on the staircase and Necrosis is afk half the battle. This story would point towards botting, BUT he was not the one who claimed Alky. Legolias got the claim fair and square with Chi Blast, Necrosis didnt even provoke after, he was simply afk. Further evidence, if you want to call it evidence, is that he doesn't always get the claim, a lot of times he says 'afk' and it spawns while he's afk and we dont get it. The other day we lost Kreutzet when any bot should have claimed it in Necro's position.
In short for anyone who doesn't feel like reading such a long post: he doesn't always get the claim. These times occur mostly when he's afk, which wouldn't really happen if he botted.
I tried to keep my opinion unbiased, I hope it seems that way to the people reading the post, and I hope it makes sense because I'm really tired.
