It seems bots (especially the blink bots) are winning from Anet so to adress this problem:

Recruit active players to report bots by providing a special item that has a bot reporter skillset. Correct reports will gain you points for a new Botkiller achievement, wrong reports drop your achievement level. Only several reports within the same timeframe will be taken seriously, higher achievement level gives you higher report power.
Even better: make it so profitable that it will be the best farm in the game. It can only restore balance!

I already read about this elsewhere, but I really think it is a good idea. You can’t use a program to detect a random program, but humans can identify a nonhuman.

example:
tag skill: if target has been tagged by players with enough accumulated achievement lvl, a trial session is started. Players will be able to ask questions and the target must respond within a time limit. At the end players vote for human or nonhuman. Target cant be tagged again for 10 minutes.

Not everyone plays with chat on or pays attention to chat while playing. For example, one of my guildies often plays with all chat off when not in the mood to be sociable and another that I play with regularly often fails to read chat because she is paying attention to other things.

Do you think it impossible to make a whole new screen pop-up with the trial session? You wont get tagged if you’re not acting like a bot, would have to be tagged by either enough, or experienced taggers, and can’t be tagged again for some time after so there would be no question of intrusion.

Sounds like a way to grief/annoy people, by making pop up screens show when they are trying to play. How about people doing it to an enemy players in WvW in an attempt to distract or annoy them?

I wouldn’t mind getting a notification every 10 minutes by grievers as long as it doesn’t completely block my view. As to abusing the report function: That issue is already present with the current report system. The only real difference is that you get a reward for correct reports.

So, lets say you are soloing a champion and someone starts spamming you questions asking if you are a bot. And letting you know that if you don’t stop and answer them you will get tagged as a bot. Or a group of people get together to harass someone like this. Or if you were standing around af’k and get tagged as a bot. Still ok?

This sort of thing is why it’s not up to the players to determine if someone is a bot or not and to be able to impose some sort of sanctions in game. There are always those who want to grief strangers or people they take a dislike to. Griefing others is a big deal in some games and ANet has made a deliberate effort to make a game without it. For something like this to be acceptable to the company, you would have to devise a method that was grief proof. They don’t want a game where people are annoyed by other players, and I guarantee being requested to stop gameplay to confirm you are not a bot or risk sanctions would quickly become annoying.

I wasn’t aware that you knew when you were reported, or that a pop up screen showed with it.

People may attempt to grief with reports, but a live person checks them. Mistakes happen of course but you don’t get notifications showing up on your screen every few minutes as this method would do.
