First, I presume third-party gold selling isn’t allowed in GW2 and that, as in other MMOs, players ‘farming gold’ for this purpose are breaking the ToS.
If not then there’s no more to be said.
If so, then how do I go about reporting suspected behaviour like this?
The in-game ‘report a friend’ is entirely insufficient since there is no option to enter any description of what you’re seeing and it says ‘logs’ are reviewed to determine the outcome: I’ve used that a lot to report gathering bots, seemingly to no avail because those characters (or others linked to the accounts) are still there days and sometimes weeks later.
However, I’ll keep trying just in case, so now I’m seeing the same two characters in the same zone every time I’m there, running around killing the same mobs from one end of the zone to the other. They’re not botting since their movements are random and are clearly driven by an active player.
However, while I’ve been there a lot in the last couple of weeks on several different characters these two are always there, no matter what time of the day or night I happen to go there.
Whispers don’t get a response, which isn’t of course proof of anything, but kind of odd since I’ve not found many players in GW2 don’t respond to /Ws on the few times I’ve done so.
Thus it can only be determined if they are breaking the ToS by observation, no logs will show it, so how do I draw them to Anet’s attention so they can investigate.
I know full well some people just enjoy farming, I do myself, but after over two weeks of doing this even I would get a bit jaded.
