Random Arena bots? Yep. Simple bots that automaticly lets you join a team while in Random Arenas. Besides that, there's not much to tell. They just hope that you and your 2 teammates get Faction for him, if not, he just tries the next team.

This is VERY annoying. Fighting with 3 people against 4 people is very hard, and you will never get far (and since I want those Gladiator points, it's hopeless when I get one of these bots in my team). First I thought they were just afk'ers, but now I see them alot more while playing Random Arenas..

Please ANet, we need our old Random Arenas back, because every time I join I'm thinking to myself "Please, let this be a team with bots please!", which is really frustrating.

Thanks for reading,
Max.

Bots idling in RA is no different then griefers. RA will largly be plagued by this behavior.

However, you already mentioned the gladiator badge. IMO this is the best thing to happen to RA. Now it is possible that RA has players intent on winning rather then just wasting time. Maybe slightly more competative?????

You know, i only see one maybe two bots a day. And i play RA more than anthing else in GW. I do, however, avoid playing RA on the weekends. I supose maybe there could be more bots out on the weekends, but it seems to me that logicaly someone wanting to use a bot would use it when they where unable to play, not when they where able to=p But logic usualy doesnt help you on the internets 0_0 so who knows?

They should get banned of course, but they're pretty hard to catch. And luckily I don't see too many of them. They're no better than the quitters and those are far more common.

*sighs* I miss the Randoms but there's just too many griefers there. Bad players I can tolerate but not the constant crap talking and quitters and the occassional faction bot.

This is just like the 15+ bots sitting in Elonas Reach. They need to be SQUISHED!

=/ RA is not that bad realy=/ Ive met some nice people in there. And some awesome teams. I like RA because a good RA build is not like anything else in the game. Everyone should be self-sufficient at least to a minor degree in RA. Some of the most effective RA teams ive been on have been like, three rangers and a warrior. Or just a bunch of mesmers (man that was funny=p 4 mesmers 17 win streak rofles)

I prefer RA personally. There's nothing like getting drunk during a 100+ consec wins streak through the middle of the night. =D

No, im sick of these stupid bots. Last night I was playing in RA and this stupid monk of a bot kept on spamming mending. I was so pissed off. As I played more games and as me or the opposing teams got that particular bot, I'd make a harsh joke about it.

I have a screenie of the bot, but I can't prove to anyone else that it wasnt doing anything. I have the name tho^^
