Guild Wars 2

So anyone else busy reporting all those bots who are just spamming keys over and over at events, like the one at the wrecking yard in the charr starting area, or at the Penitent waypoint?

yep

BOTS are literally at every chain DE event.

Same ones still there today after reporting 50 times yesterday.

Go Anet!

I have to agree here. The amount of botting going on is completely ridiculous. Like that bridge where the centaurs attack in Kessex Hills on the middle left side of the map. I report the obvious ones who are auto attacking thin air. If the bots get over run and die they seem to re materialize “star trek style” as soon as the even ends. Permanent bans are in order.

How do you know perm bans are in order? i just stash my alt at the kessex hill bridge so i can do my daily bot report.

start killing bots at lower levels xD

Hence why I said I only report the obvious ones who are auto attacking thin air when the event is not going on.

What you are seeing is the result of all those compromised accounts now catching up with the botters having some time to exploit the game and make money to spam their trade. I always report them as soon as I see them in chat so that those compromised accounts can be blocked and worked on to be given back to their rightful owners.

Can we have an internal truck system , for players-bots that farm the same DE-hearts for more than 30-40 times in the row
And diactivate their xp-money gained from those events , for the next 48 hours ?

Edit: I dont believe they are bots , just afkers with an auto atack :P

This morning there were so many bots there that it actually caused the game to stop rendering anything like 5 feet away from me. That’s how many objects were on the screen, and 90% of them were “players”. None of them moved the entire event, most of them were Engineers that built buildings that attacked for them.

This thread will be shut down. Have had 2 of my threads dealing with botting shut down all ready. As well as every post dealing with the people selling gold or offering to power level for cash. All we can do is report them through the ingame report feature and wait. And who knows maybe those 5 people enjoy shooting the wall for hours on end.

As a player, it is very discouraging to see the blatant botting at events – takes all the fun out of the event. Very reminiscent of Aion – where, no matter where you looked, there were bots even days after reporting them.

I sure hope something is done because I sure do like this game!

I don’t normally report bots, but when they start affecting my gameplay, then there’s a problem. For DAYS, bots have been sitting at the bridge in Kessex killing of waves of Tamini that spawn every few minutes.

They are making it impossible to get anything done there as there are so many of them that you don’t see the spawns until they are, literally, on top of you.

I’ve reported the bots many times, but the problem still persists day after day. The GM’s HAVE to know it’s going on. Makes you wonder if they even care…

I will suggest that the best course of action for anyone is just to ignore n block those botters(and report mails). From what I heard, those are hacked accounts and they just keep jumping from account to another! I seen this happen to all the other mmo games upon release.
Eventually Anet will ‘kill em all’- it will take time so patience is required.

Those botters have only 1 intent in mind- Making money of You, Me, Everyone next to you in-game. Dont be a sucker, thats what they want.
Its understandably annoying to see all that spam floating in convo. Suggestion…If your like me n have many guildies to chat to, just go to your chat settings and switch off general chat, but leave everything else on to keep in touch with guildies! U wont see those botters

The bridge at Kessex Hills always has bots there. I reported an engineer bot yesterday, it seemed that it was programmed to spam skills 6-9 which had turret skills. When most of the people left and only 2 bots remained, I let them get attacked by the centaurs. The engineer bot got knocked down and died and remained there until I revived him. As soon as he was alive, he placed turrets right where he was standing even though there were no mobs nearby and stayed there.

This morning I spotted a guild of bots on Shorebluff Camp in Harathi Hinterlands. A guild called Playnice in Gates of Madness US. There were 4 bots in that camp just standing at the entrance, waiting for the DE that requires players to defend the camp. If there were no players around, they would die and remain dead until someone revived them.

Even though I told the players that they were bots, they kept helping them when they went down instead of letting them die.

I seen that spot you mention on Kessex Hill…also spotted another place today with bots!
I took SS and reported to Anet with Time n date stamp of the 2 situations. Lets remember that Anet must be very busy with all the things they need to do so I am certain it will take time for this to be resolved.
I have faith, am sure that Anet is working hard at it!
Patience is a virtue

IN-FRIGGIN-DEED. Bots in kessex hills at the bridge… for DAYS… almost all Engineers just parked there.

Almost all events that cycle on a fairly quick cycle and a place to put your back to a wall have TONS of people botting away.

It ruins the game for me.

I hope they (A-Net) come up with a satisfying solution…. IP ban is totally USELESS… I would guess that most of these accounts are stolen anyway.

When will people learn to use the internet/computers properly?
