I can’t seem to find the last waypoint in Caledon Forest the wiki shows one near Gemi’s heart, but its not on my map on my 100% complete character. Also I counted the waypoints on the 100% complete character and I only come up with 17 even though he has 18/18….

A Real Anti-Farming Code

in Suggestions

Instead of implementing a code which prevents players who are actively playing the game from getting lewts, why not implement a code to stop the “bad” farmers aka botters. It’s incredibly depressing to see botters that me and my guild-mates report continue to bot the next day, in the same spot doing the same thing…. making easy golds, destroying the market. Given the monetary cost associated with keeping game information server-side most gaming companies make the information client-side. Although I’m no expert in this field I would assume hacking a client would be infinitely easier than hacking server, while it would be unreasonable to ask a gaming company to gear their game more towards a server-side setup to help curb botters there are a few things I think the company can do to prevent botting.
So in light of the forum subsection I offer a few suggestions….
1) In-game GMs to monitor players getting repeatedly reported for botting, not the most elegant solution nor the solution I suggest again to to the monetary obligation associated with the salary of said GMs.
2) During beta surveys would occasionally pop up to ask you various questions about the game… My suggestion is to bring these back but have them ask the player to complete an incredibly easy, non-discriminatory, task. Such as click the red square, if the player fails to complete the task they are logged out and must log back in. By having the object the player is supposed to click easily identifiable in several ways this would alleviate some players inability to complete some tasks, such as a player being colorblind. Some exceptions should be added such as increased number of chances in WvWvW, and maybe even not having the system queue in dungeons. While it might be a minor inconvenience to players to have to complete mundane tasks in order to continue to play I think this vastly outweighs farming legitimately and not getting loot due to an anti-farming code. Also this, I believe, would carry the least amount of financial burden on the company.

Thanks for the amazing game ArenaNet, and thanks for taking the time to listen to my two cents.
