I have suspected this but didn’t know how it was possible.

Last night there was a bot at the TP in Lion’s Arch. A ranger doing the routine of ranger skills robotically forever while standing at the TP. a few of us reported them. Today I log on, it’s still there just not doing the attack macros.

So why is a bot standing at the TP overnight? They can post things in the field. They can pick gold up in 1 second. The only reason to wait around is to buy, flip or repost orders. What can a bot do on the TP?

This could explain some of the ridiculous buy orders I’ve seen on items that aren’t highly traded and seem to get reposted every few minutes by the same person. I hope Anet will now consider that bots might be working the TP and to find ways to detect them. Check the log of the person on Crystal Desert’s LA TP. I won’t name names but they have been there overnight without being logged out and wear black & white armor with yellow wings on the head.

Well of course bots work the TP. If played correctly its the number one way to make money.

Also bans arent instant. It takes time. Be patient and keep at it.

Hi everyone,

Bans usually take a bit but rest assured that bots are dealt with

Thanks for your understanding
