Guild Wars 2

I know Arenanet’s working on this, and I know you’re all sick of us complaining about bots, BUT COME ON!

They have permanently overloaded rocket turrets set up on the rocks with ranger bots circling them. If anything spawns nearby it’s immediately killed by an onslaught of homing attacks from various sources. They’re not even farming, they’re just circling the same rock over and over. I don’t know if some event spawns there, I literally stepped foot in the region 15 minutes ago, but they’re deliberately insulting your intelligence by doing this! It’s like some child in the back of the bus mooning you while you’re stuck in traffic, and the bus driver knows he’s doing it because the other kids are cheering him on but he can’t do anything about it because he’s busy driving the kitten thing. This is really going too far!

And yes, those are all bots. A couple are players coming by to see what I’m blabbing about, and I’m betting the engies are hacked accounts, but you can clearly see the ranger bots with unnamed pets, identical color schemes, and Chinese names. you want to see for yourself? Kaneing, Harathi Hinterlands, near the southern part of the map at shorebluff camp, northwest of shieldbluff waypoint.

Remember that they might be letting bots like this get away with it so they can find patterns within the botting code. Just be patient.

haha, that’s where I first saw a bot back when I was lower level, except he was set up on the other side of the road on the rocks. Yes there is an event that happens there.

Say what? The bots used are known and the code is readily available. They may be waiting, but it is not to try and find patterns within the code. I keep telling myself it’s liability… but the reality is they are likely waiting to come up with a solution that does not require paying human staff the 10 dollars an hour per server it would cause to effectively eliminate the problem
