It's like two people getting into an automotive race and the guy who is driving an eighty five civic getting pissed off because homeboy showed up to face him driving a lambo.

So the Honda boy goes home and pops out his drunkard bot.

Seriously just stop, now.. it's embarrassing.

but the dude in the lamborghini was supposed to be in a civic too. it was in the rules of the race. You see the problem now? if not, I suggest you leave.

LADIES AND GENTS HIDE YOUR EGG TIMERS WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ON DRUNKARD.

No gestapo I am wearing mine gold star and I do not have an egg timer.

agreed. if all it does is prevent you from waisting your time on something and doesnt effect anyone else then it should be ok. if it effected others thatd be a different story.

I was sure that ANet was listening, but not certain that they would react. This makes me a little more confident in what ANet is doing towards this issue.

One question that I still have is about the /report command. This command has an option for reporting botters, but the statement that James Phinney gave only mentioned to go to Support for reporting botters. Can we still count on using the /report command for botters to have some kind of purpose or effect?

If you aren't at a computer with access to Guild Wars, try the NCsoft account. I think the NCsoft account reports back to you on the page with your GW accounts if any are playable or unplayable, maybe this can help you out some bit?

well i have to say. this is prob the most effective NERF they have done in a while. Anet failing in nerfing SC's made every sc'er lol. most Sc's got easier after the nerf and this probably did the job. Just ban all the good players. lol

You are completely missing the point. Guild Wars should be played the way it is meant to be played. Titles and achievements, however trivial, should not be further devalued with the ability to simply automate them and walk away from your PC.

'It doesn't hurt anyone' is not a valid point. It hurts the game.

LADIES AND GENTS HIDE YOUR EGG TIMERS WHEN YOU'RE WORKING ON DRUNKARD.

No gestapo I am wearing mine gold star and I do not have an egg timer.

I've been working on drunkard, off and on when I have the ale... for over 2 years. Swear to god, and I'm only ~7600 miniutes in. Granted, I play alts, so I can't drink all the time and I haven't played much in the last 6 months, but still.

People with bots can get the same title in under 2 weeks by afking.

The only reason ale-hound is prestigious at all is because of the massive time sink involved in drinking all that ale. Drunk bot removes that time sink. If you don't see the difference, I don't know what the hell is wrong with you.

But it's still not the rules of the race.... so just stop argueing.
When you said yes to playing this game, you said yes to playing it without bots as well.. so stop you stupid whining

These "good players" got banned for botting. Botting makes players good? I don't think so.

It astounds me the amount of mental gymnastics you are doing to somehow see it as being harmful/malicious. A different tune would surely be whistled if you too were using something for drunkard, it's all perspective. Let's step outside of this whole perspective based argument, and go back to what I'm trying to say.

Find me a way in which this can be construed as malicious. And should something that is not proven to be malicious be acted upon.

To be qualified as a good player you have to use bots?

I wasn't aware.

What we're witnessing is the exact opposite, cheaters are getting banned, those are no "good players", sorry.

Money sink titles the prestige has never been about the time to activate the gold sink, it's always been about having the initial gold to complete them.

nicpid · May 27, 2010, 12:03 AM // 00:03

banning "cheaters" in a dead game, this is classic ban-drafting, i don't trust u at all, i think that u are not capable to process 3.7k accounts now at this stage of the game, you just want to save sever resources, and your slowly shutting down GW cuz the GW2 beta will come in q4 this year.In the beginning the bots were ruining the economy of GW but now after 5 years the bots are the only thing that keeps this games economy rolling by pumping in the resources, consumable price will go sky high now and I didn't max those title yet so u made my task more difficult....

Since your thread about "your friend" botting got deleted let me offer you the same advise as the other troll here.

KEEP USING YOUR BOT and be sure to come post a giant QQ thread here so we can know how it worked out for you. errr I mean "your friend"

I'd say they will rather announce another Mini Mania with rare minis in magazines across the world and get money from it

[it's not that I disapprove earning money

@s73ve_o: I've done most of my Drunkard while doing vanquishes so I'd say I was quite PLAYING the game :P and now what?
