Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, forgive me if this is discussed many times, but I do not browse the forums often. I am usually in game having fun. This is also why you don’t often see positive threads on any gaming forum.

As my title states, I feel bots are becoming a huge issue for me and the game. As I have leveled up to 80 and am now farming materials for gear or events for karma, it is becoming very apparent how rampant botting seems to be.

I have noticed this here and there as I have leveled up, reported it, and moved on. Now that I’m level 80, (and so are they) I am seeing the same bots every day despite having reported them many times. I can attend a zone event and see nearly half of the characters involved being bots.

“Just be concerned with yourself and your own play,” say the botting players and overly faithful, but I contend that in our game, they present a very real problem. It’s obvious they are hunting for rare drops and karma to salvage for ecto globs. This drives down the value of the ecto globs while concentrating gold, tradable for gems or externally for cash, into a handful of players botting dozens of accounts.

I’m sure this has all been heard before, so I’ll stop here.

As a concerned fan of the game, Anet, could you please get rid of these? You could find me in game right now and I’ll show you no less than a dozen I have seen in the same spot for a week. Thanks.

Going to go start a new character now so I don’t have to look at them.
