Guild Wars 2

@Asglarek, well GM in the sense we used it here is more like ‘Game Manager’, the person(s) behind the curtains pulling the strings. In a case where botting is concerned (and real players in case of mix-ups) i think nothing can truely replace a human. As they can check for chatlogs, buy/sell logs etc to truely determain whether an account is running a bot. For the lack of a better word ‘GM’ is used (by both of us) to indicate an ArenaNet employee with the rights to ‘alter’ playeraccount status.

@Asglarek, I do not agree with this, and this idea is by far a way to ‘punish’ real players, it is to provide real players with a rampant Golem that is designed to determain whether an entity is truely a ‘living entity’ … that this Golem is catching Bots (or rather, provide the GM’s with extra ‘humanity-test’ data) is the extra benefit…

Where it tends to go wrong is when actual players get a way to police themselves, as they (not all but surely some) will use all the tools given to them to harrass/annoy others. Sometimes this is just a matter of personality, but it can also be part of some fute, some past experience and wanting to ‘settle the score’. You can already report players, so if you want to be that police officer, be my guest and report every bot you see. All tiny bits help. But a system where players can turn on some sort of PvP at the slightest hint of botting, that only leads to endless drama…
