Guild Wars 2

I’ve just done some testing of it, the howl proc does trigger, when YOU are attacked, it does seem to be about
5%, though I could never get it to trigger when only one thing was attacking me.

I still consider it broken, as the tooltip says it’s supposed to trigger when /you/ attack.
Either the tool tip should be changed to reflect how they want it to
behave, or the effect should be changed to match the tool tip.

And I wasn’t even aware of any other bug with the proc, it seemed to come up at 5% on being hit before
this patch, so I’m not sure what changed.
Seems like there’s been a miscommunication between the testers and support devs.

I don’t think a catchpa would work, apart from it completely breaking player immersion and reducing the quality of the game for human players, I don’t imagine profoessional botters leave their bot farms unattended. There’s likely a bot farmer watching over a lot of machines, who might be able to configure the bots to alert him to fill out any “are you human?” challenges.

Flag and kill, again, breaks immersion and is wide open to abuse.

If there were a good, easy way it would have happened already.
My favourite idea so far is to subtly modify gameplay slightly in a way that would make it more difficult for humans and bots alike. Like a behaviour catchpa, an event in gameplay that demands an intelligent response. I can’t think of anything like that though, it’s hard.
