Yeah when botting is cleaned up, for a lack of a better phrase, what will happen to the economy because it is clearly going to make everything inflated way above it should be. Also I know that it is just a percentage for each player, but if Guild Wars 2 is as dynamic as it says it is I would think that monitoring of drops would be dynamic well. By which I mean that if someone gets a Rare in one area there are smaller chances of someone else getting a Rare in that exact same creature or even area. Again I’m not sure on this, but I am just speculating.
BTW Thanks for the incite juiceman
In the world Kaineng server I am seeing a lot more botting than I did when I was in Jade Query. Right now I am in Lake of Lamentation wit my Norn Guardian and have been seeing a synchronicity group loop around the map in the same exact path. All hunters with bears or drakes that are just killing everything. I know ArenaNet is aware of this issue, but there has to be some sort of algorithm that they can implement weather it is a regional method or just pure APM based method.
I may not know exactly myself how to prevent bots, but even if a dialog box just pops saying “Are You a Bot?” at a random and have you do that CATCHA sequence of randomly generated characters to type in and then press No to continue playing. I understand that sometimes we all grind and just kill stuff out of bordem or necessity, but they are using some sort of algorithm already to track your path so if it overlays and overlays and overlays you think something is fishy here.
Also a question directly at AreanaNet or anyone who knows this answer. With botting occurring and them grinding and farming small creatures. If they get Rare or any other good drops is this dropping the percentage that us, the players, will be getting or is there some sort of static variable that is set to drop these? So in basic static variable or variable to change?
Since I have found now two tooltips that have had a mistake in them I might as well make a little log as I find them. It’s the small details that matter, right?

When playing the Human race as a Thief I noticed that every so often random characters dialog would not play audio, so therefore I have to read what they are saying. This only sucks for one reason is sometimes while cut scenes are going on I am researching stuff while listening to the story on my other monitor. I noticed that it is completely random too because sometimes my characters voice would not play or Logan Thackeray’s void would not play. I have not made it that far into the game itself, but even random characters like Two-Blades or Quinn’s would stop working for one dialog piece and then the next time he spoke it worked fine. My audio is on max settings, and I don’t know if this could be the reason but my music is turned off in the game. I know sometimes programmers categorizes sounds as music and then when turned down it completely shuts off the sounds, voices, and effects. This is quite annoying, but none the less it happens. I just ran the repair tool on my client to see if that will help fix it and will repost if it did, but for the time being I would like to put this out there. Just in case my DxDiag report will help in my situation I will post it below in a Pastebin link due to the spoiler tags don’t allow multiple lines.
NOTE I would like to say that I did some Google searches on this and really could not find anything. If someone else was having the same problem and found a page I would love to see it.
