Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m Vallun. I am a competitive achievement point obtainer. I did all of the personal stories, got the Emperor title, and do my dailies every day. I was on the second page of the leaderboards before my account was banned for “Botting”. I have never botted and as such it takes a lot of effort for me to maintain my position on the leaderboards, doing every living story and daily while searching for older achievements to go for. I have also five writing courses and a real life to juggle, yet I love Guild Wars so I keep playing.

I was working on getting the Lunatic Inquisition Regular achievement points when I had been banned. I can see why this would occur because of the nature of the game type. Villagers have to be very still and hide, which would set off the AFK timer. Ghosts that kill too fast would have little to do and become bored near the end of the match. Knowing that I needed to be the top 10 scorer, it was impossible for me to be AFK and still get the achievements. Yet I still had to watch Bridesmaids (it was ok) for a Gender and Theory in Film class. So while I was playing Lunatic Inquisition (not AFK), I would be watching this movie. I could easily get top scorer early on, and then become lazier near the end when the action settled down. I could see how this would be considered circumventing AFK timers, but at the same time it wasn’t ruining the game type or using an exploit/bot, and therefore not deserving of a ban.

This issue seems to be uniquely tied to the Lunatic Inquisiton game type because of its need for anticipation. So I don’t think the game type is wrong, but the bot buster system needs to take account for this unique situation. I think the bot system should be removed from the game type in the first place because you get nothing if you have less than top 10 points, making there no incentive to AFK anyway, and only incentive to be competitive.

Have you already contacted support? If not you need to do so.

If you have already contacted support and it’s been 3 days or more then post your ticket number in this thread here .

I have posteda ticket, but it says that the support site is transitioning so I’m worried that it will go under during that switch. I will check that out after three days though, thanks.

Yes, they are changing it up. Read this thread here for details.

One of Vallun’s guildmates here. If this guy is a bot we’re all doomed, because they could outplay just about all of us. Please unban him, we need him for GvG tomorrow.

Please don’t raise support to someones elses issue. It is against the forum rules. Doing so can lead to annoyance by the people reviewing the case and can actually have a negative impact.

I would think a reviewer would like to see that people care. If bumping is the issue, then i’d tell them not to, but I think humanity is something that this kind of case hinges on (determining if automated or not).

#UnbanVallun2013 I hope you get your account unbanned soon Vallun! We miss you very much. Didn’t think you would get banned for something you didn’t do.

Hi I have got the same problem, it did not count 2 of my rounds which I won by surviving long enough.

Is no one else concerned that Anet is apparently relying on random kittens false reporting bots to issue bans instead of actually checking if a bot is being used?
