Guild Wars 2

Thought of a programmatic way to get rid of bots.

1. Somebody reports toon as Botting.
2. Message auto-appears on toon in question’s screen overlay that says something like… you have been accused of botting, please click x,y,z (random sequence).
3. Properly clicked, then no action taken. If not clicked (or x number of fails) in 2 min, then {auto-sanction determined}.
4. Auto-sanctions should also be determined for reporters that incorrectly accuse Botting (x number of times) to avoid abuse of reporting.

Voila! Bot eradication! Freed up time/resources for Mike Lewis’ group.

I know you mean well, but this suggestion is dangerous. What if I go out to eat and leave my game on and my friend jokingly reports me? I get nailed as a bot for being afk to eat and I lose my account. Time-sensitive solutions to bots are dangerous to mess with and could cause too many legal issues for Anet. Keep thinking though, we’re on the right track!
