Accused of being a bot? - Guild Wars Forums

Bragg Madaxe · Jul 18, 2005, 05:01 AM // 05:01

Some idiots I just went on a quest with just accused me of being a bot. All I could think was "what the hell?"

I've been playing for almost 3 weeks, and have never been accused of that. Why would they think I was a bot?

I wrote their names down and will NEVER go on a quest with them ever again. Have enough paranoid people in my life, LOL.

well, some people are stupid you know, so don't mind them.

Master Oria · Jul 18, 2005, 05:29 AM // 05:29

he he, cant people tell the difference between a person and a bot.
Cant they figure out that a bot follows a script and that a person does
random action and actualy speaks a proper organized speach

Helios · Jul 18, 2005, 06:46 AM // 06:46

no big deal. even if they did report you, anet won't find anything on you so long as you really weren't botting.

Well, I would think that proper organized speach would help identify a bot. Normally I see chat like "OMFGZ I JSUT PWNDED THIS GUY WTHI MY UBER SKILLZ". I think organized speach would identify a bot. Who knows what would happen if we took back proper english and complete sentences.

Other then that, it was probably some idiots noobs acting smart.

you should have just said "does not compute" everytime they called you a bot to make them mad...

ive never been mistaken for a bot, but i would not be suprized if i ever was because i rarely ever say anything...

i guess all i can say is hopefuly you dont ever have this mistake again

Haha i agree theres no need to speak because noone ever does what i tell them so its best to just let them do their thing

TheGreatBoo · Jul 18, 2005, 08:06 AM // 08:06

Well, I tend to leave all chat except team and guild blocked, so I rarely talk. Usually when I do its to ask a player if they're high, or just plain retarded in the random arenas.

LOL! I usually leave my chat active when I'm with a party, though, to coordinate plans (hopefully) with other party members. As someone pointed out, it's amazing how often plans get ignored...

The positives about Henchies: they don't speak, they don't draw on the mini map, they follow you....

They look better and better every day.

I can't imagine how this would happen in a game like Guild Wars. Are you constantly attacking the same group of monsters over and over again each time they respawn? This isn't every other MMO out there, its not even like we can sit and fish all day and get accused of being a bot because we haven't moved or said anything in 3 hours.

Did they even explain why they thought you were a bot? Otherwise, its probably just a bunch of stupid kids just being...stupid.

Darksci · Jul 18, 2005, 04:34 PM // 16:34

lol it was funny one time.

I started a group for Aurura Glade mission, and let a group of 2 join with us. I asked if everyone was rdy, and i got a response from everyone except one monk. I asked again and another guy said she doesn't speak english, but shes there.

Ok i thought to myself.

So then mission carries on, but the monk doesn't speak anything, and when i told her to use healing seed, she wouldn't respond. I got frustrated and started to PM her saying "Healing - Seed".

Still no response... I then said, ok next mission i'm kicking you. Then finally the other guy said "Shes a fricken bot ok!"

She was a bot, and doing lousy job of healing as well.
Then came to the part where you need to carry the cystrals to attune each of the parts. The bot then ran off towards the enemies and died.

Of course we all failed that mission.

MSecorsky · Jul 18, 2005, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Enlighten me... why would the guy have a bot brought along like this?

Ristaron · Jul 18, 2005, 05:13 PM // 17:13

I'll say it again. Guild wars requires a slap function with which you can smite down players who meet 'n00b standards'. i.e. 'l33t speek', all caps, spam, and rampant 12-year-old flaming.
The district should also have the choice of booting idiots to a different district. One person starts a vote. If 5 people agree, the llama gets blasted off somewhere else to piss off other people.

I really should start a thread about these suggestions in the propper thread...

We had just finished a battle, I had done my normal good job of keeping everyone healed during the battle, they started to move on and I bent over to pick up some gold one of them missed, and she said "Look, Alyssa must be a bot". Another one said-"We'll have to wait and see" and the other one said "We'll have to keep an eye on her".

Because i picked up gold after a battle? I have always done that and no one has ever complained (in fact, every party I've been with, someone picks up gold, and everyone picks up what is theirs).

Perhaps she didn't know gold is shared and thought I was getting it all for myself. Dunno. Needless to say, I didn't touch gold after that with their party, lol.

Ahh the moronic youth. So very young and, well, moronic. People need to realize that these things disqualify you from being a bot:
1. You speak english. At least some form of it. I say, the more you speak like a moron, the more proof you have that you're not a bot.
2. You change your routine as needed. If you see someone just doing the same thing over and over without ANY change, chances are its a bot.
3. You dance. Seriously, have you ever seen a bot stop what hes doing a dance? I think this is a dead giveaway.

Yeah, I'm sure I'm missing some here, but the truth is I'm just too lazy to list em right now. Chances are someone else will pick up on the ones I missed, and even add some others.
