I’ve been seeing parties of bots going around, killing everything and teleporting when they shouldn’t be able to teleport. This suggestion, and I don’t know if this can work or not, is to do a server reset once a day or other day or week or something like that. Doubt it will keep the bots out forever, but I’m sure it’ll give the servers a bot free environment for a little while.

It is faster for a “bot” to log back in the game then a human, and the bots don’t care, but humans do.

Diminishing Returns is also hurting Humans more then Bots, to the point where some people are sure to be tempted to buy gold from the botters/hackers because they can’t make it on their own.

My suggestion is a bit more friendly to Humans. Give us a /bot command. When we see a suspected Bot we target them and type /bot when they aquire enough “points” from different people labeling them as a bot they get teleported to a simple puzzle, something a human could figure out but a bot wouldn’t. At the end is a minor reward to compensate a human for completing it and proving they arn’t a bot, freeing them from the area and possibly making them at least temporarily immune to the /bot flag. (And perhaps notifying those who did a /bot command on them that they flagged a non-bot.)

Alrighty, well I didn’t know that, I thought a human had to at least log them in.

Yeah, that would make it nice and easy to grief people.... How about we just hand everyone a banhammer while we’re at it, and let people know that they banned someone for no reason when they do.

Or, what you could do, is just report them for botting, using the system already in the game...

And when will ANet get to them? It’s not as if they don’t know about a bunch of locations in the game that are frequented by bots, such as the “Centaur Bridge” in Kessex Hills. I killed all the bots there the other night and the owner came by and rez’d them all. ANet could swing by there with a banhammer once a night and wipe those 20 accounts. Elapse time? 30 seconds if that.

why not have it just /bot that one character to the special jumping puzzle with a chest that has anti bot code to use the enter these character as u see it fit. And when all of the account character get /bot teleport to the jumping puzzle the account get suspended and get the IP address.
