I am sick and tired of going around to the different zones and generally seeing some archer with a bear and a name that is gibberish being followed by about 5 or 6 of identical character all with junk names. killing everything is site.

I am seeing them in almost all zones from 80 down to the starter areas. How can I tell they are bots? First off they a flash jumping all over the place and each of the characters follows the exact same path as the others. The are also firing arrows at some ungodly rate. I also think that on some of these bot groups they have one control character that is actually in front of a computer to revive the other bots if they die. The thing that lead me to believe this; is the fact that one of them attempted to cuss at me with the worst spelling I have ever witnessed. Bots have a tendency to drive people away from good games and I know it will begin to happen here and in all likelihood already has, as long as Anet sits on the hands and tells us they are going to fix the problem and turn around and appear to have done nothing. Since that announcement about cleaning up the bots was made it has appeared to have gotten worse.

Bots have been reduced by 4600 according to Anet.
That’s about 100 bot bans per day.

How about some patience? Seriously.
Employees have a life too.
