Guild Wars 2

Probably not a highly sought after name, but I got ‘Red Rooster’ which I use on LoL, so yayyy! I am happy!

Elitist response: “Wow, you have no idea of how to play/build a warrior do you? On my warrior, I do this, this and this….”

Disrespectful response: “kitten you noob, why do you build your warrior like that? L2p idiot”

OP’s response: “Are you lacking gear or something?”

His comment doesn’t sound elitist at all to me, at least the way he has worded it here. Also, irrespective of a snarky comment, it is wrong to kick a player just before the finish depriving him of the dungeon rewards. That is pretty much griefing IMO. Of course, there may be more to the story…

Don’t know about Orr, but I am still seeing bots on my server in the lower level areas (Ebonhawke area is the one that immediately comes to mind)

I am pretty sure the drop rates aren’t controlled client-side. It would be so very easily exploitable. Also, during halloween event, when the original drop rate in Labyrinth was insanely high, ANet changed it in a new build without us needing to download anything. (Atleast I am pretty sure I didn’t download anything). Most likely these are some regular maintainance changes, may be related to some of the minor graphic issues like clipping or something similar. Or these might be initial changes in preparation of the upcoming big patch.

Every once in a while (random time), a pop-up appears requesting you to enter the captcha word in the image to continue playing. Upon incorrect answer, the user is logged out and forced to go through the same upon re-login within a certain time period. Too many incorrect responses and the account is flagged for suspected botting to be reviewed by GMs.

A player in an instance might(should?) be exempted from this while in the instance, since I don’t think bots actually care about dungeons/stories Additionally, once an account has successfully passed a captcha test, it could be exempt from further tests for some duration.

Basically, would it help the botting problem if ANet implements a sort of captcha system in-game? It doesn’t have to be exactly this system, but any similar system which many websites use to combat bots. I am curious if regular players will find this suggestion to be too intrusive or not worth the trouble. Would love to hear your opinions about this.
