We all know that bots are gonna get banned sooner or later. Historically, Anet has come up with creative ways to ban in the past. Dhuum appearing and slaying bots was so much fun to watch that I was disappointed that botters gave up.
So I have a few creative suggestions for the new bot banning in Guildwars 2.
1. A KT29-Moahawk helicopter flies overhead, and down drop A.R.E.N.A. Commandos. As the choppa flies off the Commandos, either subdue or slay the bot and in a puff of a smoke bomb, disappear along with the bot’s body. Alternately, in towns or caves where the Moahawk could not be used, the A.R.E.N.A Commandos could warp in a la Terminator in a sphere of energy and leave the same way.
2. You’re in a zone and notice a bot teleporting around. Slowly an off key voice singing acapella starts to get louder. Suddenly in a puff of musical notes a Minstrel appears next to the bot. Bound by musical chains, the bot is unable to flee as the minstrel’s song increases to a crescendo. At it’s peak the bot’s head explodes and both the bot and the Minstrel disappear in a puff of musical notes. The eerie silence left behind would be the best part.
EDIT: Though I’d love to see the head explode Anet probably won’t do that so instead how about he hits the bot over the head with his mandolin before dissappearing.
3. This ban would happen only during night time. The moon grows larger and a familiar face appears on it. A cackling reverberates through the zone. Next to the bot, suddenly out of a black abyss walks Mad King Thorn . He grabs the bot by the head, laughs and drags it back into the portal from which he came.
If anyone has alternate ideas on how bots should be banned let’s post them and get Anet’s attention that we don’t just want them gone, we want it to be memorable!
