Guild Wars 2

Hello Arenanet,

I am starting to see many teleporting node gatherers again. I am growing more concerned because I had a friend a few months ago get his account stolen and it was operated as many of these node gathering bots are. However, he was one of the rangers that you saw running circles around. Prior to the hack, he was broke. He returned with 50 gold from the botters running his character 24/7. He doesnt play anymore, so I dont feel guilty saying anything now, but he still has this gold on his character.

My concern is that all these bots that are gathering at the speed of light… Is the similar thing happening with the resources they gather? Is it just there waiting to be claimed by the proper owner of the account?

While I do report every one of these bots I am able to target, right click and report… I feel like the damage they do is permanent and the management is overloaded trying to deal with this issue.

They are doing a horrible job of taking care of this. For some insane reason they expect players to do the reporting, when the bots literally can’t be reported because they’ve vanished. The very act that is a violation also protects the offender because ArenaNet doesn’t put the tools in place to deal with it.

Please see this posting regarding this issue. The thread is closed.
