Guild Wars 2

Hello , i heard right now from my guild that if we play or walk near a bot we get reported 15 times by the bots and make our account banned is that true ? if it is true i hope Anet is going to hurry and do something about it , I realy dont wanna be banned for mistaken report.

I need confirmation of this quickly please , because i am afraid to go PvE now …

I read ppl being banned for “botting” while they were fighting in WvW… so be afraid to go everywhere.

I was gathering Ori in cursed shore when it happened and was using TS3, and a friend of mine also told me this, since I WvW a lot. Apparently some people report others in WvW to troll or just because they got owned or whatever (one of the servers we are playing against has a bad name due to certain things but I digress). However after coming on the forums and seeing that a LOT of people are having the same problem as me I doubt it was that. A bot reporting people that come close seems far-fetched but I guess at this point anything is possible….

I was banned for botting while in NSP borderlands.

Yes, it is possible anywhere.

People report others in WvW they can’t explain. If you have a stealth class (culling) or a high regen class (ele or Engineer), they might nto be able to explain why you are invisible and why your health is not going down, therefore yes they will report you and since there is no section for “Hacking” they will report you under “Botting”.

Put in a support ticket under ask a question and wait. It could be over a week with the current influx of bans that have been made falsely.

Any answer from Anet for this issue ?

Really blows.

Any game that auto bans after a certain amount of reports is a dumb game. GW2 doesnt do this. No game that has competent developers does this.

All these ppl saying I got banned in WvW while attacking a keep clearly dont understand how BANNING IN WAVES works. You see instead of banning ppl while they are hacking/botting w.e, they wait days or weeks after you have already commited the act. This lets them review many cases to make sure they are getting the right accounts banned. Then when they are ready they do a mass ban on all those accounts they were keeping track of. So all this “I was doing a dungeon and got banned” is utter BS. You were either botting days or even weeks ago or someone on your account was.

And yes there are some ppl who got banned who didnt do anything wrong, and my Question to Anet is how are you getting these ppl messed up with the actually trouble makers? Or is it that 99% of those posters in that other thread are lieing. I tend to believe that the majority of the are but who knows.

You are right, I DON’T know how banning in waves work because I have never been banned in any MMO much less accused of botting. I also used think like you do and believe that everyone who protested against such accusations were guilty but now I see thats not always the case….I just hope that you never get falsely banned for botting and have to read comments like the one you just made.

If this was true, I would have been banned.

I have reported a billion bots. Some of which I reported daily for about 3 weeks. (I’m looking at you Frostgorge grawl bots. Yeah, they finally got you!

And yeah. “I was just in a dungeon when I was banned for botting!” is not how it works. Not in the slightest.

Someone who is reported as a bot is not banned on the spot. They are banned (Such as in the case of the Frostgorge grawl bots) 3 weeks after the fact.

So if you were banned (Innocent or not) it wasn’t for what you were currently doing at the time it happened. (Necessarily.)

This is because they ban in waves, not necessarily persistently. Over 10,000 people were banned, innocent or not in this wave.

well i hope they will do something about it :/
