i'm just making an example to show how bots can react fast in a fight

how do bots get access to all kinds of skills when they 're farming keys?
i think they're just retarded and running a starterbuild they get when they're made

doesnt this game use anti-macro programs like when they code the games so macro programs get confused.

- So the difference between bots and real players is that bots usually follow the team, attack targets, interrupt with perfect precision and have manners?

Keep in mind bots don't know how to prioritize.
They don't know the difference between interupting that ele's aura of restoration or that monk's ZB. They don't attack monks. They don't know how to retreat, regroup, or stay out of range of rt spirits.
And on larger maps like the Kurzick RA map, they don't even move from the loading area since the enemies can fight the entire fight outside of the bots radar range.

Please find a quote by me that says the bots "interrupt with perfect precision" and have "manners". Please don't shove words in my mouth.

I merely said that they say Hi every X amount of seconds to pretend that they aren't a bot. "Hi" does not necessarily equate to manners, and when you say manners, that could technically mean good or bad manners.

How do you know that? What if, someone made a bot program that can "read" every single skill used by an opponent? You can't say it doesn't exist or isn't possible. This being said, they can probably prioritize too, being able to find out whether the target is a Monk or a Warrior. I'm not sure who would really have time to create such intelligent AI, but if there is, maybe they should go work for Anet, because then they can create better responding AI for heroes and henchman.

Who knows, maybe all top 10 GvG'ers are bots and you just don't know that!

and it brings the price of z keys down, theres nothing but positives, let them bot away

snikerz · Mar 13, 2008, 12:46 AM // 00:46

a thread like this already exsists:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10255180

ANet have not taken action for months.

after a couple months sending support tickets(around 20ish replies), their final reply was they are aware but dont know when they will remedy it, i'm thinking it was something to finally shut me up, as they dont care.

you can bet nothing will come of this thread, sry but its what happened to the thread mentioned above, garentee it.

Sheesh, Ekelon... have a sense of humor.

If you buy it, they will come.

Who's surprised? Z keys sell....good market, easy to farm the points to get it. Those are the things botters like.

Well i havent seen any bots in ra or then havent noticed they are bots. well ofc bots do farm zkeys .. Zkey = easy cash and that cash can be spammed on gold sell sites and sell for real cash.

You Look Grim · Mar 13, 2008, 05:26 AM // 05:26

i haven't been to RA in awhile.
is this botting happening in american districts mostly,
or international too?

but imo, if the 3 people aren't dumb and know how to read the chatbox, they should know to use the function /report. Sadly enough, there are times when you encounter players who don't know how to type /report. It makes me feel like i'm talking with caveman in RA sometimes

.

It makes me pretty sad too. I once encountered the silliest team of people.

Person 1:"He has feelings too you know. Just because he wont read it or anything doesn't mean he wont have his feelings hurt.."

Person 2:"You're sinning. You'll go to hell oO"

Me:"I don't like this team anymore."

A funny consequence of this phenomenon: PvP players now have henchmen/heroes!

Anyway, this had to happen at one point, RMT companies have to expand their business. Next, the runner-bot and auction-house-bot!
