Guild Wars 2

In the code of conduct, I agreed to share my knowledge. Here is what I know.

There is a guy who has been bot farming in Cursed Shore for 3 solid days. Name begins with W, ends with d. You’ll know him when you see him for the 400th time around the loop.

This is not an accusation. I am reporting what I have observed, and if you disagree, you can log into Eradon Terrace, head to Meddler’s Waypoint, step just outside and make the same observation yourself.

I have reported it in-game several times. Still he is there. Not a single GM could take a look in that amount of time?

You should remove the name, before a Mod drops by and does so. Just a tip. =)

first of all, Good job for reporting and spotting bots. Second, the bots don’t get ban in daily basic they get ban in a "mass ". so for when they do these mass not sure weekly?.

The problem with that tactic is that it allows time for the perpetrator to sell, use, or ship their ill-gotten goods and skew the economy. By the time the user or account is banned, the goods are already consumed.

My guild is moving to another server very soon. That means I need to generate enough revenue to finance the gems for this move. My primary source of income for this trip is hunting and gathering T6 materials in Orr.

When someone is bot farming for days on end, it has the unpleasant side effect of lowering the value of the very items I’m attempting to sell, making my task more difficult.

This reason for this post (and my confusion) is the in-game feature. When I reported this behavior, the message I received was “Reporting a player for botting sends a notification to the GM team.” Naturally I assumed that meant some action would be taken by whomever is reading these notifications. It’s the message itself that’s deceiving, as it seems to indicate a more immediate response.

Hi everyone,

If you see someone botting please report it, either using the in game tool or providing evidence to the CS team. In any case, while we thank you for your concern about bots, please remember that posting about it in the forums does not help,. and thus it shouldn’t be done.

Thanks for your understanding.
