Mobs Dissapear After Excessive Grinds?!

[Phillyfan112]

When i use the wonderful pwnagebot for long periods of time, specifically overnight, the mobs in the area completely dissapear n do not respawn. Did LOTRO developers do this on purpose for this reason or what? Its really frustrating though. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Never heard of it before, and would seem counter intuitive considering the way the world tends to operate. Not respawning would prevent a PC from performing tasks, which is a legitimate part of the game.

Maybe setting up larger grind area's would help?

I know how it sounds and i agree with everything you are saying but it happens. Idk why it happens though. Say i started botting at night, left the bot for 8 to 9 hours or so. It would grind the whole night but when i would wake up to check it i would notice that not 1 mob was in the area i was botting in after that long period of time. If i walked steps away from the area to another section of the map there would be mobs. I would find that my bot would just keep running around with no purpose due to the fact there was no mobs. Could anyone else explain this?

You probably need to make a larger grinding area. I've had the bot run succesfully almost every night for the past year over 12 hours each run and not had this issue. I've botted in every zone.

I think you might be botting in an area with food spawns.
After running the bot for a while all spawn points will eventually contain food items and if your not set up to loot food items you will run out of targets.

If that's not the case I've got no idea what's going on. Only time I've ever run out of targets while botting is when all spawn points contain food items.

Move out of Bree town, no botting there!!!!

Seriously, no idea, never ever had such an issue in the last 5+ years
