Guild Wars 2

I started playing during the early start and havnt been displeased with the game at all
….. but i have an odd feeling today after being banned for botting, although im very sure i have not botted or intended to bot in the time i have been playing

and now with this refer a friend thing starting, i was hoping to get some more of my buddies into gw2 but now im really not sure, since in the time before i got booted today i still saw some familiar bots roaming around….. I guess my question is, why am i getting banned as a legit player, while truly obvious bots are running around rampant and who would really introduce their friend to this game? T_T

edit: yes ive submitted a ticket already but this is quite frustrating

Raise a support ticket. It’s the only way you can get the, to look at it. I’ve heard many people get banned for wrong reasons. Sorry to hear about that, I would hate it too if it happened to me.

My suggestion to you is, while you are waiting for your support ticket to be looked into, make sure your computer is clean from viruses, malware and/or keyloggers. I suspect that it is probable that if the account was suspended due to botting, it is quite possible that your account has been accessed by someone else that was doing bot-like behavior while you were not logged on and that, as a result, your account was reported and suspended.

Make sure your computer is clean, and change the password on your account. ArenaNet are trying to eliminate the bots from the game, and there are cases where legitimate players are being locked out as a result because their accounts were actually hacked even though nothing was taken. It looks like the accounts were being used to farm only, nothing taken, but it was enough to get noticed and reported. If this is the case in your case, you should see your ticket change from botting to unauthorised access (or something similar) once the agents are able to review the issue.
