Guild Wars 2

I wonder what they are doing with my reports of botting players?
It can’t be that hard to caught them : go ingame and check the obvious farm area’s like the karka zone or the icebrood colossus zones. You’ll see the obvious botters straight away, they do the exact same route over and over again, they don’t respond to whispers or party-joins, some of them are “hopping” instead of running.
It takes about 5 min to see what I’ve been reporting for weeks now and take them out of the game !
It’s very frustrating to see the same names over and over again after numerous reports by me !
What are you doing with those reports??
If you rather wanna keep those botters or me, who spend from time to time some cash buying gems, you’re doing a good job

me too,
This will be locked and a message of keep reporting put in by a mod.

Sort of like the ovaltine secret message in the movie A Christmas Story.

Pff, this game is become lesser and lesser attrictive to me.

It has gotten a lot better.

Just a few months back you had botters quite literally covering the entire zone of Frostgorge sound!

this was last week (the last time I checked) maybe they have been reduced I hope so, but the tracks they leave must be huge in the data (movement hacking mostly) so that they are not spotted by the game for months is a little weird.

They’re actually impacting proper play in Cursed Shore. I went to farm sparks because the Temple was open, and there was a team of bots sitting waiting for respawns. I couldn’t get a shot off at the target before it was dead

So, what’s the problem to ban these players?
Lack of manpower, lack of listining to the community?
I don’t understand why there is player who I have been reporting since beginning december and I still see him doing the botting?
I don’t get it.

Bots are removed in waves, after ANet has studied their behaviour. You can’t study something without a source of data, so the bots remain until whatever ANet does has been done.

Removing bots piecemeal is generally a more inefficient solution.

Hello everyone,

We understand your concerns about the botting issue, and be sure that our teams are working constantly on identifying & suspending them.

However, as perfectly explained by proxy.7963:

Bots are removed in waves, after ANet has studied their behaviour. You can’t study something without a source of data, so the bots remain until whatever ANet does has been done.

Removing bots piecemeal is generally a more inefficient solution.

Such investigations take time, to make sure that the reported players are actually bots and not legit players, as our customer support team take the suspension/termination of an account very seriously.

If you have any further question regarding this, you can submit a ticket to our customer support.

Thank you for your concerns.
