The Botanica?

[LeetHaxor]

Wasn't sure where to post this, but I have a question.

Is there something I don't know about the Botanica?
I believe these people have been hacked, but is there some way to make insane amounts of gold from farming it?

As you can see, they all have an absurd amount of Warp Splinter kills, anyone know what's up?

i think is safe to assume they\re hacked, because they all only started like a month ago.
also its normal mode not heroic

I didn't say it was heroic, and ya I assumed they were hacked as I said, but is there some way to make absurd amounts of gold in there or what?

Mmh, My server also has 3 death knights running Botanica, all with 600+ runs.

I went and investigated this =D
1. They all started around the same time.
2. Some players have not played in a long time..
-leading me to think SOME of them are hacked accounts
3. Honorbuddy has their Instance Buddy released.
- There are 2 profiles on the HB forums with Botanica profiles.
4. All of them are classes that can Solo (Paladin/Deathknight/Druid/Warrior)
- Many that have PVP gear are wearing it for the extra Stamina.
5. Botanica is the easiest of the higher level BC dungeons
- Making it the best to bot
6. All of them are past 300 kills of The Time Warp boss.
7. In just a matter of days they went from numbers like 100 gold looted to 15,000 gold looted.
- Their achievements show they've only been doing Botanica.
- On the HB forums it states around 300g per hour vendoring everything.
-Nicer to not have to go and sell things on the ah.
8. Would a Chinese Farmer really farm Botanica?
- 300g per run isnt that good.
- Herb prices went up for Glyphing.
- No body knows the ways of the Chinese Farmers..

Thanks for this, I assume they are botting with honorbuddy then, didn't really think someone could keep sanity running it that many times.
