Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to share a fun video of what happened today for about 10 hours.

Around 30-50 people botting under water spamming 1 and 2 with a few real players to guard them, who seem to regenerate hp a little to fast to be real.

My server has been getting destroyed by Yak’s Bend, but i guess the bots needed to farm in peace right?

I reported as many as I could among the cluster, but I am sure some were missed. This is not the only instance of mass botting I have seen recently either. In queensdale i saw around 20 hunters running around naked spamming 1 in a big circle.

Anet, when are you going to really address this bot issue? Where is the ban hammer needed to keep the playing field even?

If loot drops underwater had the same rate as the ones above I’d be farming these guys for badges. But for some reason its less.

I’ve been farming the Yaks Bend bots for badges too. However, I have encountered some actual players who will actually farm alongside, defend, and even revive these bots. It’s really kinda sad. But whatever. Free kills for me

I was trying to convince people the other night that we should all be attacking Yak’s BL if we wanted equal numbers. If GoM and SF both coordinated an attack on Yak BL we should have a number advantage because they have at least 50 bots taking up their spots. The other day there was 17 in one spot and at least 20-30 in another. That’s a lot of spots taken up doing nothing

I am from Yak’s Bend and I for one pray and hope that these bots get banned. It amazes me that people would do that in WvW of all things, it’s one thing to do it in PvE (which by the way I still do not support it) but even worse to do it in an instance that has a player limit causing others to have a qeue. I pm’d someone the other night from GoM to kill some of the bots from our server under water, I also reported the bots.

It doesn’t matter what server it is, YB, GoM, SF, JQ or anything… they deserved to get banned and constantly checked up on to make sure there are no more. It’s sad that when we do not even have an outmanned buff yet obviously out numbered in a lot of fights due to these kitten gold farmers. I beg A.net to do something about this.

Oh and by the way, your comment in map chat “no wonder green is winnning, they have 40 people botting”. That has nothing what so ever to do with us winning, use common sense… they’re under water killing kraits. If that’s really your excuse then you have it all wrong.

The loot from kraits is too good. It’s as good as in Cursed Shore, but they have 1/3 the hp and hit like baby moas. Imagine over the course of a week the pile of lvl 400 mats a WvW bot loots.

I’ve reported enough bots already.. I see them in EVERY zone. They don’t fix it. I mean you get the IP’s of someone botting ban the IP’s instantly even if it affects a large population (behind a nat). Eventually its going to slow them down to a halt since the bots generally come from China and specific locations

Nevermind about the bot banning didn’t realize this is mainstream just google gw2 bot and you’ll see how they’ve done this.

I wonder how many PVP people use similar bot type tools to help them speed up their gameplay and get an advantage?
