Idea to get rid of bots in WvWvW.
This is a great idea!
I agree, there shouldn’t be random mobs in WvW. If nothing else, the mobs shouldn’t drop XP and loot. If there was no XP or loot there would be no incentive to bot in WvW, or clog up queues with people doing PvE.

Sounds like a good idea
Another issue which is being COMPLETELY ignored I believe is “Multi-Boxing”… Today, Me and my guild came up against a guy using like 8-9 bots to follow him arround, target whatever he targets and all ranged attack at the exact same time.. Allowing this guy to pick a target… nuke it and kill it in less than a second. Lucky enough we outnumbered his bots 3-1 but it was horribly effective against us.
I have no idea why there are mobs in WvW.
After playing WAR for years I can’t stand mob’s in my pvp.
Mobs are pve
Players are pvp
Stop mixing them up.
I have suggested this before in individual server threads, but I guess a general one here is better.
Don’t attack people from other servers while in the lake if bots are present. Regularly announce for your team to do the same. Basically, agree to a general ceasfire when it comes to bots, to allow the opposing team to kill them.
I regularly go in the lake with my engineer for some quick badge farming. My biggest threat, though, are random players who come up and kill you while you are fighting the bot horde. If there were a few people on each server informing their team of the service others are doing by eliminating your servers botters, it would go a long way towards encouraging people to get rid of them. This in turn, would discourage botters from doing so in WvWvW.
They only do it there now because of the fast spawns, good returns, and relative safety. Also, I don’t think DR effects WvWvW (could you imagine how messed up it would be if enemy players stopped dropping loot.)
This must be the greatest idea of all time!
Removing XP and loot might be the right approach – removing mobs entirely will make the landscape desolate and barren. Besides, we do need certain mobs anyway for Quaggan, Dredge, Ogre, and Hylik npc events. In addition, mobs don’t add too much the rendoring issue, from my experience.
Killing bots does no help, they still stay in the server, and rez each other, so they still take up space in wvw making queus longer. We need them gone, out of wvw not dead
just remove mobs with potential loot.
I was going to create a thread but seen this one. Anet seriously needs to get rid of PvE in a PvP environment. It is a really stupid idea to begin with. The only PvEing that should hapkitten taking over NPC camps. WvW doesn’t need the other junk to make it feel “alive” as there are already enough angry mobs slashing at each other.
Also, remove the jumping puzzle. I can’t stand reading people making a group to go “control” it(at the start of a match). At least only open it at the end of a match. We need the bots and these “Skritt” out of WvW.
edit: happen changes to hapkitten? bug?

Bots are botting for the dinamy events, not the mob loots!
i hope thats a joke
It’s a terrible idea. WvW is a hybrid of PvE, PvP and siege based combat. Why punish those who enjoy it in the quest to get rid of bots? In fact, I’m certain that if such a change was ever made people would leave in droves due to being negatively affected by the crusade against bots.
Honestly I say remove all mobs from WvW altogether.
Bots of course sit farming Skritt, and krait all day.
Then you also have players who come into WvW and do nothing but kill mobs, and not PvP’ing, or helping their servers out.
+1 to removing mobs from all WvW maps.

Drop the xp and loot from the mobs and the bots will be gone (from wvw) tomorrow.
Keep the fauna, as they’re part of the environment that makes you manage travel time. Move visibly on roads or with stealth overland?
Try fleeing combat, I know you can outrun me, but can you outrun those wolves at the same time?
good, i hope they do leave if they get rid of the pve envrioment in wvw, so we actualy have players in WvW and not bots, or moa farmers, kill 2 birds with one stone
