“Our monitoring of ‘bot’ activity has already resulted in over 1600 account terminations world-wide in the last week alone, and we are actively tracking the most common ‘bots’ in use, so that we can continue to eliminate them from the game. As we continue to gather information on these ‘bots’, we will be increasing the rate of account termination to remove them. Please continue to report players that you suspect of ‘botting’ – your support is much appreciated.

We are actively improving our means of detecting ‘bot’ activity in the game automatically. This includes tools for our customer support team to help them verify ‘botting’ reports and efficiently issue account terminations. Recently we have also hired a team of data specialists who will be helping us create more effective tools for analyzing reports of ‘botting.’

As a side effect, these efforts directly impact the operations of third-party gold sellers (and spammers). In conjunction with ‘bot’ removal we also take Real Money Trading very seriously and actively remove hundreds of gold spammers and sellers each day.

In short, we are fully committed to keeping this community free of bots and illicit gold sellers, and we very much appreciate your assistance in identifying and eliminating them.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we continue to improve our ability to deal with this issue."

That is from another thread from anet. There was some great ideas I thought, in response to this. But some I liked could also get me into trouble when I go afk or sometimes need a break from the game for a bit, that leads me to then being logged out for inactivity.

I was in Frostgorge Sound (70-80) just exploring when I came upon Yaks Bend. While thinking about that place in gw I noticed players downed. I usually am one of those that runs in to rez, I start reviving when I noticed people were downed all over. I thought maybe it was a event, but the way point is not far and nothing was on my screen about any event. I then remember a guildie talking in guild about seeing lots of naked norn ranger bots, look up and noticed all were naked. Just then something spawned near by and it was mass kill. There had to be atleast 20 alive with about 10 dead. This is the first time in since gw2 came out that I saw this. All had bears, all were without armor, norns. Not sure of levels but assuming about 70. I then walked away while I watched others running to see what was up. Its just sad. No I didnt report any and yes they were like in gw with the names that look like to me like someone just beating on a keyboard then hitting enter. I will say that what I saw that was spawning around them was wildlife and not really any monsters (like bears, deer and such), I know I have rarely gotten that great of drops from those things.
am on fort aspenwood server and wondering how anet is going to deal with this on gw2 with so many servers or if it is going to be another elonas reach mass ban.
