Guild Wars 2

Everyone knows, or should know that the bots exist simply to farm for items to sell for gold.
This gold is then sold to players for real cash.

If there wasn’t a market, if there were no buyers, then the bots would have no reason/point to continue do what they do.

To the players who buy -
Anet provides an excellent service. You can buy gems and convert them to gold. If you are buying from bots, its clear you enjoy the game and want to progress. Would you really damage the game you enjoy for the sake of saving a couple of bucks?

To the bot masters -
Its a sorry world we live in where the difference in money makes this a viable way for you to earn a living, there is nothing we can do about this. What is clear though is you have great programming skills, to write and implement these bots takes a level of talent the average person doesn’t have. Why not put this talent to good use and develop a program to identify and eliminate bots? The prestige from players, and the possible money you could earn selling this to a company would be far greater than chasing the average Joe for $5.

To Anet -
We appreciate your attempts to control and eliminate this threat. The game is beautiful and many of us enjoy it. As a company you won my respect from calling out people who falsely claimed why they received temporary bans and suspended accounts when you posted real transcripts on the subject. I cant help but feel another no-holds-barred post is desperately needed on the subject of Diminishing Returns.

Whatever happens I think, we as players, just need to relax a little and give people time. Yes they could predict this, yes they could plan for this, but until the exact script is wrote for the attack, you cannot prepare an antidote.

Yes but,

DR. AND waypoint costs?
DR AND WvWvW causing repair costs?
DR for dungeon rewards

None of these are hurting bots

Well said. Ive been 80 about 3+ weeks now, and theres far too much for me to do to experience DR…Only once or twice in Orr, but thats OK. I went and did some dungeons, or leveled crafting a bit, or an alt.

Relax people. Remember, you are not paying a sub to log in every day.
