Hi all,

Went out for some fun in WvW tonight with my team. Even though we are way outnumbered (usually 30-50 vs 10-20) still fun to get in there and do the best ya can….

then….

Bot group shows up.. I was like wha? About 15-20 characters all botted up. They moved like botts and really drained all the fun out of WvW. I thought this bot problem had been fixed.

First time i’ve seen this in WvW, anyone seen this issue? Should be a way to report this and have a GM check it right away. This is the type of thing you don’t wait a week to fix as it affects the whole servers score. Its a PVP fun kill joy.

In game poverty will only continue to make this worse.

I don’t understand. What does all botted up mean?
What exactly were they doing to make you think they were bots. Is the only proof you have that they moved like bots?
I really don’t see how it could effect server scores as these bots would easily be destroyed by any capable group of a few people.

Would be a problem if WvWvWvWvWvW becomes full and you have to que up for WvWvWvWvWvWvW because bots are taking up the space you should be in.

Right click their names and hit Report.

No matter how capable your group is, your not going to destroy a group of teleporting bots.

That’s not the way bot teleporting works. The worst that will happen is they just teleport away when the program tells them to.

^ Wha?

That is exactly how it works, they port to x location do x action, then port to next location.

They port to x location, the program presses f to gather mats, and then on a timer it ports them to the next place they need to be. It doesn’t and can’t port them, use xyz combo, dodge, down whoever they’re fighting and then port away. There is no possible way that a bot could fight to the degree a human can in an online game.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

I replied to who ever saying a “capable group could take them out” which it couldn’t because they probably could not catch them and do enough damage to kill them before they ported again, CC doesn’t matter either, bots will just ruin the experience. I am sure who ever runs the bots check every once in a while to make sure they are all alive ect.

It’s been me and you chatting this whole time and it most certainly has nothing to do with the tea in China.

If all they do is port away, what difference does that make? You’re the one who brought up porting bots btw, OP said nothing about them.

I have noted this a lot. We all know the ways out of trouble. If you’re solo and run into a group you can quick WP out. But a lot of people don’t know about it and honestly aren’t quick enough to do it

Yet over the last 2 weeks it has been so frequent, I have been wondering if people are bottinf in wvw. I have seen groups “WP out”. When im in a group and meet another we stay and fight unless seriously out numbered. By group I meam around 5 people. It is a growing issue.

I’d assume they are not retro-bots running in circles killing mobs that come in range, so that leaves us with porting bots.

So you saw something like this,yet didnt make any shots or vids ? Tell me how do you know they are bots and not just a group of people on ts stacking together ? There is no reason for bots to be in wvwvw,there is nothing to gain for them instead of being even Easier to report by other people.The goldselling/farming bots do not go to wvwvw,im 100% sure of that since it would be an illogical thing to do when they can hang around in deserted places in the pve map and use the node teleporting.I do not know what youve seen,but i think you’re wrong and something like this needs to be shot or frapped before making such accusations.

Hello everyone.

Yes, the team is aware of the presence of bots in WvW as well and fighting against them since the beginning as a priority. We would like to ask you to keep on reporting those fellows as soon as you see them, through the in-game reporting tools (screenshots and vids to Customer Support are also a possibility) as this helps us effectively.

Thanks for your reports and your patience. It´s greatly appreciated.
