Got banned for using a chestbot for about 5 minutes and then to never use it again, pretty bitter.

Now that Anet has finally answered our prayers and has banned the bots we're happy.

Now I don’t have to worry about playing in RA and coming up against a rupt ranger or Mesmer who can single handily shut down my entire team or a monk who can catch every single spike we throw at him as well as keeping the entire team up regardless of how much pressure you put on them.

I’m happy that ANet has banned these accounts and so what if it’s funny that these people are now pissed off that they lost everything. Maybe if they had never botted in the first place they wouldn’t be in this situation. It serves them right.

I'd be nice if ANet would reintroduce some minis, but other than that what can I say?

I'm not going to say HAHA or anything, but it's nice to see justice served. It is a shame to see all of those ill-gotten riches go into the scrapper though. I liken it to big drug busts with stacks of cash..at least that cash goes towards the community. This should happen to the GW community...keep prices of ectos low if not hand them out as rewards, and take those rare minis and run new contests for them. It would be nice to have a hard number available of those limited edition minis as well.


As an addendum...for casual players, bots were actually a benefit. They brought prices on ectos down to reasonable levels so casual players could buy their obsidian armor and the occasional rare item. They brought rare items down in price by increasing the supply. Rare minis...meh. Casual players don't really care. Getting rid of botters, especially so publicly, will skyrocket prices of everything not only because new supply will dwindle, but also because existing numbers made public have been removed directly. There should be provisions in place to allow non-botting casual players to obtain these rewards as easily as before.

Dhumm has seen the errors of his ways and has begun to work alongside of Grenth to punish the unjust and wicked.

It's funny how Dhuum is actually a BAD guy (evil half-bro of Balthy i think) and now he's like the hero of GW (actually he IS but).

I'm feeling a Naruto moment like when he defeated Pain.
