Guild Wars 2

As of now, when I see a train of bots named Aasf, Aasb, Aast, Aash, Aasj, Aask, I make an effort to attempt to report them all.

However, in its current form, whenever I report a bot, I have to do the following :
1.) Click on Bot
2.) Right Click Portrait
3.) Click on Report
4.) Click on Dropdown
5.) Click on Botting
6.) Click Report

By the time I’m done with reporting one, the quick moving train of similiarly named bots are significantly far away from me already, and by the time I catch up, I forgot which Aa-series of the bots I’ve already reported…

I always put in effort to try to remember, but I honestly, think that this Vigilante fire that burns within me won’t last long unless there is a faster way to report.

I have a suggestion, something that I hope the GW2 team will implement in battle against the pesky bots.

Reduce the amount of clicks to the following :
1.) Click on Bot
2.) Right click Portrait
3.) Select ‘Report Bot’
4.) Prompt appears ’ Report As Bot? Yes/No’ and I click YES.

Although on paper it looks as if there isn’t a significant change, but it helps reduce the amount of clicks and time that I need to report a quick running train of bots.

Also, the Prompt will serve as a guard in case someone accidentally clicks on ‘Report Bot’.

Awaiting good news.

You can actually chase the bots and report at the same time. I do it all the time. You can still move your character while you have the reporting screen open…..

I would like to also see which bot I reported. Where there is one, there are more. I can’t tell if I submitted a report for a bot with a (hypothetical and not an ingame name that I have seen; just to abide by the forum rules) name like “asdf” which could be similar to the next bot “adsf”. Just seeing “Report about ______ submitted successfully.” would help in reporting all suspected botters.

I like the idea of letting you know which bots you have already reported. I likely report the same bots 2 to 3 times when I’m trying to report a big group that is all stacked on top of each other, or when I see the same bot on a successive day…

My solution, seeing how sometimes the bot army can get quite large and well stacked.
Skill “report bots in this area”: a large ground targeted skill, giving a dialog that has all names withing the area and checkbox “report as bot”. And finally button “Yes I’m aware of consequences of I misuse the feature, and do honestly want these bots reported.”

Or at least their name shown within the reporting function.
