I was ok with 4-5 bots at every single karma event in orr. By ok, I mean I can tolerate farming for kitten against 5 zombies that will ultimately turn this farm into gold and then real life money.

Today I go back and find that there are easily 10-15 bots at every single event i go to just sitting around or walking in the exact same path. when a mob pops up, they are either running to it and shooting instantly (absolutely zero delay from spawn to attacking), or they are teleporting to it, no matter where they are and out of range for ANY class skill.

So now i am competing against 15 zombies that have perfect reaction time and teleport hacks. This is BREAKING THE GAME.

I want to know what you guys are doing about this. Taking a look at the economy from a legendary item standpoint, they are breaking the game and allowing players to run the exotic market, in time this will devistate the economy overall because the money they are making now is inflating things that shoudn’t be inflated and lowering things that should be higher priced.

I am not the only one turned off by this. Please give us some information. IT IS NOT HARD TO SPOT A BOTTER. Send a gm to every server, have them walk around and find botters and terminate their accounts. It’s so simple. Pay them minimum wage. kitten PAY ME TO DO IT. HELL, ILL DO IT FOR FREE. Seriously though. speed this kitten up.

If this thread gets locked I will create another one.

If that thread gets locked, I will again, create another one. This botting bullkitten is pissing me off. Eventually this amazing game will be broken and people will begin to quit. This isn’t a subscription based game (unfortunately) so people already don’t feel committed.

I CANNOT EVEN FARM IN THIS GAME. THE WORST/ MOST ANNOYING THING TO DO IN MMOS and I cannot do it. So what do you expect me to do Arena Net? Sit and wait for you to slowly ban bots? The way you are handling this situation is bothering a great many of your playerbase. My FIRST response was one that shows you guys don’t handle situations well with the public.
