Guild Wars 2

First we saw bot trains of 5-6 players in the Chitterogg area. Now you can find groups of 20 there, plus another 15-20 minimum botting in the Krait pond. Even when we kill them or contact the enemy server to have them killed, they will respawn and continue auto attacking at the border waypoints.

This is unfair to the teams that have bots taking up their player slots in close battles.

I’m on the Sanctum of Rall server, and I’ve seen a lot of bots from SoR as well as on Yak’s Bend (our enemy last week). I report every one I come across, however it’s very difficult to even target them in the Krait pond. Regardless, they just keep coming back!

How are the bot problems for other servers out there?

bot trains are horrendous. i play on seafarers rest, and every zone has its own little bot colony more or less. Some are obvious like klfdshjjsdfjhm, sdifsldkfj, xzjchxz. Some are slightly more cunning with actual names and even in guilds. I’ve reported the same squad for about 5 days consecutive but they’re always there doing the same circuit.

It’s getting ridiculous. I’m not sure if multiboxing is allowed or not but it’s doing my nut in.

I posted about this a week ago. Here is a nice pic of a (dead) bot ball.

Well, when we finally broke Blackgate’s iron grip on their borderlands our little party came across a “ball” of krait-farmers-bots in roughly the same spot. It was odd because they all had different guild tags.

Arena net can’t even ban regular bots so I didn’t bother reporting them. Most of them reset moments after they died.

Those orb bonuses must really help these bots! Also the price of krait droppings has devalued drastically. (Click 1-month range http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/24289 ) Now farming the lake and protecting pearls have even less incentive! Way to go!!!

Here is my screenshot!

SO KILL THEM is it that hard. Get some ppl together and stop kittening about them for once in MMORPG YOU can do something about it.
Also keep a list of the guilds that they are in and the guilds that help them becuse they are the trash of there world and need to be removed.
Also report though who help as gold sells because helping them farm is just as bad as being one.

You can’t kill bots on your own team unfortunately.

Any way ANet can implement a captcha test for anyone who gets reported for botting by more than 5-10 people? It doesn’t need to be all over PvE, but at the very least boot them out of WvW because in WvW botting has huge potential for griefing.

that isn’t the point at all. please read the actual starting post before you respond.

the problem is these bots are taking up slots in wvw maps. if there is a queue, an dyou have 8-10 bots in that bl – this is a problem.

bots follow the Clans which are just server hoping right now since they get to kill easy worlds. The bots just follow them and since the server dominates and they can bot non stop. Bots not only take up space for servers that could use people but also always do the events in the water in worlds where theres not much opposition so its harder for an outmanned server to do much.

Would be love it if I could just team kill them over and over but even if I could, it doesn’t solve the problems.

I understand that and i put a lot of work into killing them only to have ppl on that team come and kill me. Its all very annoying but i must say its funny getting chased by well over 10 bear at once.

I was killing some bots. Then one of the guys inside the bot bubble came out and started chasing us down. My team killed him four times before he gave up. Then we killed all the bots.

By the way his name is “Mr Miyamoto” with the handle Mithos.6192. He has been there with the bots for many days.

high pop servers dont suffer from this is seems.

it does, previous HoD just before felling apart have a mystical queue with very little ppl fighting, you can only mass around 50 ppl which is strange, consider u get a few in JP, a few doing other objective, a few afk, but still a huge gap missing dunno all ppl they are (no sword, no communication, no contest etc in objective location). From recent event seems there are bots farming for npc.

Unfortunately high population servers do suffer from it, just as low ones.
