First off, 3500 is not even close to half the player base. Second of all, people who bot can hardly be considered "players".

GG on not only the banning of the bots, Anet, but also probably the funniest thing I've seen in GW.

The tone may be light, but the message is just. We care about the community and this is the conclusion of a lot of work (started before I joined).

OMG!!
:ROFL:

Excellent!

For once a post from me not bitching but actually applauding Anet!

Good job guys!

I get the idea now. Too bad the images in the video are very small and it's hard to get all the details from it.

Regina Buenaobra · May 26, 2010, 10:12 PM // 22:12

It was kind of amusing to read the in-game chat when they were getting banned.

MithranArkanere · May 26, 2010, 10:13 PM // 22:13

Anet wanted to make sure you SEE bots being banned.
I only hope Dhuum keeps appearing when bots get banned it would be really amusing to see that once in a while...

...well, it's not like I like bots, but we'll have to deal with them anyways, so we may as well look at the bring side and have a little fun at their expense.

Something similar to this happened in AION. They used a giant Hamster instead. but same end effect. too bad i missed it. Keep up the good work.

Anyone here noticed how empty FA is even on ZC day? Maybe because of this? xD

Once again, bravo, and that video was awesome

ty to whoever made it

A scythe is a fine tool to separate the men from the bots.

mage767 · May 26, 2010, 10:16 PM // 22:16

Just what kind of bots were banned?

Yeah, I was coming with a similar though.

In that, too, GW is different.

We don't have banhammers.
Those are for pussies.

We have BANSCYTHES. XDDD

makosi · May 26, 2010, 10:17 PM // 22:17

So were Dhuum's appearances only for botters who happened to be logged on at the time in which the bannings took place? Or will botters who log-in for the first time since the ban scythe struck manage to sign-in successfully, have their character killed by Dhuum, then be kicked out to the welcome screen again?

Funny stuff.

Love it

Would be great to see him re-appear again.

DigitalFear · May 26, 2010, 10:18 PM // 22:18

Gogo Banscythe! Love the idea, Anet.

Mangione · May 26, 2010, 10:19 PM // 22:19

That's amusing.
Good riddance.

(I'm going to JQ to see if I meet the usual bots running around, maybe I'll catch one in a match and see him killed by Dhuum)

jazilla · May 26, 2010, 10:19 PM // 22:19

This is quite possibly the happiest day of my life in GW! I am so happy they are finally ending cheaters stranglehold in-game and doing it in a great way! DIE CHEATERS, and say hello to Gwen's mom for me!!

Dhuum came to claim those who were logged into the game.

Those players who were banned while offline will find that they are unable to login.

Dhuum needs to stick around a little longer and pose for pictures. I haven't seen this in my own game yet.
