I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw a bot train and the number of in-game spam mail I am getting has been drastically reduced to maybe one or two a week. I was a firm believer that the only way botting could be dealt with reliably was heavy policing of servers which of course isn’t very cost effective. No solution is perfect and I am sure there are stories of innocent players getting caught up in the mix. However, one such player that I know of personally had his account restored in under 24 hours. Again, probably not the typical, but the bottom line is that the efforts put forth by you and your teams is making a drastic impact. Bot threads in the forums are also practically non-existent. To Mike Lewis and all at the Arenanet security team, a heart felt thanks and massive congrats! Get some sleep and happy holidays!

well you don’t see them now because there teleporting around the map now ,
but atleast the long trains is gone good job on that

depends on the server

but i guess they are starting to understand that is not convenient to ignore them.

Nonetheless is very easy to find hack and bot applications just googling, so why they developer team doesn’t study these common attainable hacks and build countermeasures built into the client (like i.e. memory fingerprint analysis, anti-teleport controls) instead of relying on players reports?

Sure human judgement is valuable, but they cannot expect us to buy their product and also doing their job forever.

Yet thanks, because the situation is slowly getting better.

The most effective way to battle gold sellers I’ve ever seen was to simply outbid them. The game adjusted cash shop prices(and pretty much the entire game economy) in such way that selling cash shop items would generate you the same gold/$ ratio as buying from a gold seller(and since nobody wants to risk a ban for nothing….gold sellers just left due to no business…oh, and when they’d return to check the market, they’d face some funny chat filters, like, if smb would type “1000g for $10” it’d turn into “banhammer for $10” etc). As long as ANet refuses to do that for the gem market, GW2 will always have gold sellers and the bots to match….

I see bots all the time, there was 3 on one node at the same time lol yesterday. I have yet to go to a node and not have a bot appear and dissappear while I am at it.
