I’m sure most of you are aware that the DR system has changed and you can no longer re-log to reset it, but the problem with that is that it now affects legit players who are trying to grind more than it will affect the botters. I have noticed when my rewards reduce and I leave the map for 10 or so mins to go help out a guildie or even just sit in LA and converse with people then come back it resets. Now around Orr all the botters camp in 1 area waiting for the same event to come back and do their thangg. So bots get that time between each event so they never actually set off the DR where legit players who move around them map get less and less and less!
My suggestion is simple, if 5 or more people report a person for botting they will have to enter a captcha which for a legit player really isn’t hard. If the answer is either incorrect or they do not respond within let’s say 2 mins they get kicked out for 5 mins. Now here’s the fun part if a person gets kicked out multiple times the length of “ban” will increase ie: first ban is for 5 mins, second ban is for 10 mins, third ban is for 20 mins and so forth. The numbers are there for you to play around with depending on what you think would be suitable.
I understand that Anet also doesn’t like people farming, legit or not but hell, why would you set the price for armor some ridiculous amount? If you set it for 42/62k a piece of course people are going to farm! What puzzles me even more is why you would sell boosters then cap people. A little common sense goes a long way, but I digress.
Those are my thoughts and constructive criticism are more than welcome.
