What ‘bout fine ’ol PvP as for “endgame?”
It’s good enough for me…

Bots could even drop loot after they’re killed, everything that was farmed.
It would be called PvB(Player vs Bot). Speciall feature, unique to GW2…
How that can be a bad idea?

No, in fact in most games exactly the opposite will happen. Bot and RMT users will get powerful quickly and they ll just stand outside of towns killing people because they have nothing better to do (after quickly botting to the top). Lineage 2 used to have people drop stuff and high level people would stand out of town and kill new people like mobs. Fair pvp that is unique to GW2 (more or less).

Never seen such game. Could be interesting challenge – Taking down “evil” bot…

It’s usually a bought character, not some RMT grinder. And it’s normally not fun or challenging, as in most games it’s a poke to death due to the treadmill.

Bought characters are fine in my book…
Tools for players to police their own game would be epic.
Like someone mentioned droping fireworks in front of the bot and let him teleport around, giving the show for amused players, as he dies with no way to defend himself from mobs…

Because innocent people will get caught in the crossfire.

There’s already people that pull Champions or other such menaces into packs of what they think are bots.

Chances are not everyone you get will be a bot and you can never guarantee it.

If you’re on the receiving end of MPK as an innocent it’s not fun and if you’re on the receiving end of unwarranted death in a PvE(P) (as there is in EVE) enviroment it’s equally bad. Fact is even EVE has its safe areas.

If you can show us a way to categorically round up everyone that is a bot and only them without having any collateral damage, I’ll gladly come on that server with you and become death, destroyer of worlds.

There’ll always be collateral damage and it’s unfair on the innocent people that get affected.

The omlettes/eggs quote won’t wash here. It’d need to be 100% bots.

You’d also be creating the perfect griefing environment.

I don’t think the original suggestion was a serious one anyway, more of an extreme opinion to make a point.

And it’s a very fair point to make.

Bots ruin the PvE at the moment. The problem’s getting worse.

For GW2 right now the only way I can see is a presence in the game. It really isn’t hard to organize. Well, it shouldn’t be hard.

That visual presence will make lots of people happy. It kills lots of birds with one stone.

Do eet ANet. You know you want to!

I was just being silly. I’m aware that open PvP have no place in cooperative world of GW2…

But you need to admit that bots wouldn’t survive a day on PvP server…

There is one simple solution to boting – open world PvP.
Give it, and i gather my whole guild to terminate them…
