Massive Botting
- They look the same because your graphics are set to the minimum (i.e. WvW Character Quality).
- Looking the same could be intentional so that no one is singled out and they blend. Guilds often do this with dyes. It makes it difficult to target a specific player.
- They could be an all ranger guild.
- They could be zerging as a group (very common in WvW) and it may appear that they’re all mirroring each other’s actions.
The thing is that nobody can know for certain and pictures hardly offer any kind of evidence. A video would likely be more reliable. I should also mention that singling out people (wither a character name or guild) is frowned upon by the devs and you could receive an infraction.

You don’t have to present proof to anet. Instead, file a support ticket with your screenshots and description of the behavior (including times, dates, etc). ANet will investigate. If these guys are botting or otherwise exploiting, cheating, or otherwise going against the rules, ANet will go after them. If they aren’t, no harm is done — specific staff members get paid to review stuff like this, so as long as you have a reasonable suspicion, you should report and then go back to enjoying the game.
How do I file a support ticket, only thing I found in game is the bug report, which you can not attach screen shots you have already taken.
And I wouldn’t have put it here if I wasn’t sure they were botting. I play WVWVW enough to know what is a zerg and how they operate. I was dead right next to them for 5 minutes or so they all use the same skill simultaneously and while fighting spread out a bit and then spent the next 3 minutes getting into a tight ball so whoever was controlling all of them could move them with out them getting lost.
