Guild Wars 2

Here’s a suggestion.

Revamp the “Report” option.
When a player reports a suspected bot. A window will pop-up from the screen of the reported player.
It may ask for Captcha, Color Codes, Questions, Match Making, Riddles or whatever Arena Net finds suitable.
Of course, this Window has “allocated time”, per say 30 seconds.

Punishment suggestion:
(i) After 30 Seconds, the reported player will then be “teleported / moved” to a “PRISON MAP” where "Using a Waypoint is not allowed. Using a "move to player (overflow) is also not allowed).
(ii) The Reported player who did not answer/respond to the “pop-up window” will be given a 24hr “Condition”. Lets say -50% HP , -50% Toughness & -50% Movement Speed (crippled).
(iii) If the reported player does not respond, the Dhumm will appear! :P
Other
Arena Net should also implement a system as a counter limit to “how many times” can a single account(character) be moved to prison, given conditions or killed by Dhumm before getting banned.

Example:
If PlayerA was imprisoned for 3 times, he gets 72hrs Temporary Ban. (1st Offense)
If PlayerA was imprisoned for 5 times, he gets 1 week Temporary Ban. (2nd Offense)
If PlayerA was imprisoned for 7 times, he gets Permanent Ban. (3rd Offense)
This also applies to Conditions & or Killed by Dhumm count.
What do you think?

Thank you for taking your time.

How about they just add a “cheat” option in the reporting feature. Any automated action (aka prison maps and bans) will be abused by other players.

FYI, I alt tab out of the game quite often. I’d hate to be banned because my mind swayed on youtube

There’s no way to exploit this :P

And if the pop-up window appears when you are in the toilet? ^^U
A real bot, can identify the pop-up window and warn through sounds to the real player to write the captcha. This is something that bots from other games have.

Anyways I agree that the punishment methods have to be improved immediatly. In the first place, a system who takes actions before the GameMaster acts its needed.
For example, if a player gets reported for spamming more than 10times in a minute (or something similar) just block instantly that account for using public chats and ingame mail, and also kick that player from WvW (its so annoying to wait 2hours for entering in a WvW and see how there are +10 bots spamming inside -.-)

Something similar to this, may be a temporal and faster fix before the gamemasters check the tickets.
And of course, if a player abuse this system, that player should be punished :P

Sad part is that BOTS are in WvW farming in Centaur area.
