Guild Wars 2

How is there not massive botting in PvP? Since all you have to do is participate in a match, you get rewarded. All you have to do is sit in spawn. I imagine this is really simple to program.

Why don’t I see this more?

Because it’s not as rewarding as botting in PVE. Duh. :P

Because the only thing PvPers hate more than each other are bots.

Bot reporting is very easy in sPVP. Since you can see the bot name on the scoreboard, you can just right-click and report for botting. It would get 9+ reports per round and Anet would suspend the account very quickly. That is why there’s no or very little botting in PVP.

In PVE there are teleporting bots that mine nodes, etc. With their randomized names, it’s impossible to type them out. It’s also very hard to click on them to report fast enough before they teleport away. I would love to see the PVE system have maybe a list of names of people in the zone, like the PvP scoreboard, to make bot-reporting easier. It could even use the same hotkey!

You have to get at least 3 points to receive any reward.

Programming a bot to capture the close node could be difficult.

90% of people in heart of the mist are bots

programmed to give us the illusion it is full of activity.

You’d be surprised

Pretty sure a bot could be programmed to sit on points and target nearby foes and spam a condition rotation in a bunker pretty easily.

But you wont see any of these, as its been said botting PvE is much more lucrative, PvP bots would be for personal use only… if one existed it probably wouldn’t be “realesed” at all.

I don’t think you have seen the functionality of an actual gw2 bot. I hate bots, but it is impressive.
