Guild Wars 2

When a thief is dual daggers, he has plenty of opportunity to be able to go invisible. However, every time he uses a skill that lets him go invisible, there is a 5 second cooldown that stops him from going invisible again, regardless of it being an attack or a skill. They have already been nerfed because thiefs use to be able to CnD and Backstab 2x in a row with no cooldown. If you run into a thief that is constantly going invis… just swing your sword or use some roots/ CC. Being invis does not mean being invincible. I take out thiefs who use shadow refuge all the time because i know he is stuck in that small circle and ill just use all of my AoEs in the circle. Half the time I fight a thief that likes invis, I spam abilities and they wind up dead. So take it to the thief and dont just sit there and take that CnD attack.

Hello Devs

I have repeatedly reported incidents of bots, trains of bots, bot leveling using the in-game tool, however after a month, I continually see the same bots roaming around the game, ruining events, killing everything in sight, affecting the game in a negative way.
I dont understand what the problem is with removing bots. Is it a problem with proving someone is a bot? Is it a problem that there are not enough GMs to respond to all the requests? Is it a problem where we have to do more than use the in-game reporting tool to report these guys?
There should never be an instance where a bot can reach lvl 80 unless there is no GMs handling botting reports. Yet if you go to any of the Orr zones, you can see trains of bots moving around killing the same creatures over and over… moving in the same pattern back and forth. If you go to the lvl 80 ice zone, you can see countless of “naked” bots leveling low level "naked " bots at a fast pace because they can get away with it.
Lets say you had 1 GM for about 5 hrs of work a day. Lets say he can ban 1 bot every 15 mins. That would be 20 bots a day. Now, if those bots were lvl 80, how long would it take a bot to level from 1 to 80 just killing creatures? maybe 2 weeks or 3 weeks at best for constant killing creatures? Not to mention that since your not dealing with a monthly pay issue, there is no incentive to keep the botting accounts active. It actually would be more incentive to ban them and force them to buy a new game.
So the question is “Why hasn’t anyone fixed the bot problem?” Because if there were even 1 GM per server, the bot problem would have probably been fixed.
If you need a part time worker to GM for you, send me a PM because at this rate, im almost about to volunteer my time if thats what it takes to get rid of the bots.

Also, the reason people are posting in the forums is because we don’t believe ArenaNet is solving this botting issue. Closing their bot threads is only going to make Arena Net lose customers that would have bought future expansions. Anyways, take care devs, moderators. I hope you guys come up with a solution soon.
