Q:

There are a group of 3 player characters located near Yak’s Bend Waypoint in Frostgorge Sound, on the Seafarer’s Rest server presumably (should I be more specific, if so, how?), that seem to be grinding loot by killing foes as they spawn near their location. The fact that these characters have been there for the last 6 hours, and are cycling through their (elementalist) skill set, regardless of whether there are any foes at hand, leads me to wonder if they are botting (I’m no expert on this)? Is this likely to be the case? If so, should I be reporting them? If so, how?

In case they’re innocent, I shall refrain from naming the characters at present …

A:

To report in Guild Wars 2, select the character and then go to the upper, center of your screen and right click on that character’s portrait. When you do that, you’ll see a lot of options, including “Report” at the bottom of the list. Choose report and submit your note then.

Hi,

You have two options to report suspected botters:

1- Report them via the ingame tool
2- Create a request for our customer support with all details needed and/or proof attached to your mail.

Thanks for your help!

Sorry for opening a new thread on this topic. For some reason, my first thread seems to have got locked after you replied. I guess I don’t quite understand how these forums work yet …

Anyway, in your reply, your first suggestion was that I could use the in-game tool. Which in-game tool? Typing /report (a la GW1) doesn’t seem to work. Going to the Support window from the Main menu, gives me only the options of reporting a bug under headings none of which seem applicable, coming back to this forum, or going off to the support website (presumably as per your second suggestion). Have I overlooked an in-game way of reporting this activity?
