Right now we can only hope Botting is an even Bigger problem in GW2, just to Spite Anet.

lol, i guess no response is better then the response that most of us know we will get. "we ban hundresd of bots every week or month, but if you suspect a bot please use the in game features to help us identify them. we review the logs all the time and will handle each case as we get them. as always thanks for your help."

or the response they cant give. "we are sorry for screwing up the game by introducing so much grind. we did that thinking it would help keep everyone interested until GW2 comes out. no one here at Anet ever thought the player base would be smart enough to come up with ideas to make the grind easier and be able to do it in a way that its hard to identify if its a real player or bot. we are sorry and will be un-doing loot scaling, reducing many of the title caps to more realistic levels, giving an option to obtain 7 hero's. and reverting a few select skill nerfs in a future update. by reducing the title caps we hope more of you will take the time to play different characters, as the rep titles will become easier to get. thanks again for your support."

Number of bots is way frustrating. Nonetheless, to paraphrase Div when I asked him why he hasn't kicked the botters out of dR, it's like police (ANet) walking past an underage party (bots) and doing nothing. It may be against the law, but if the police don't care, nobody else can do anything.

Holy shit, send in a file report on an obvious botter in HA who bots +- 6 hours a day whilst trashing everyone he "beats":

Send in about 5 screenshots and requested them to review his logs as proof he was botting. (Using an interrupt and hitting it litteraly every second)

I reported one person from RA once and they told me he was banned. A day later, I added him to my friend list to see if he was actually banned, and he was still playing online. Good job, anet.

Said HA Botter sends email to anet claiming he was either hacked or not cheating and gets unbanned. Your victory will be short lived.

Wow,gj. Nice that you actually took the time to do that. Check to see if he really got banned though. And in a few weeks to see if he recovered the account lol (:

Gaile's predicted response: player's account has been tainted with illegitimately earned points, so the account will not be re-activated.

I know of people who botted and got unbanned. One was a lucky botter who was unbanned within a week so that Gaile response fails.

If you don't care about botters, then you shouldn't care about botters getting banned.

It's clearly stated in the EULA as a violation.

It completely undermines the point of Player vs Player... Let me emphasize that more >>>>PLAYER<<<< not bot.

Having to cancel cast is a waste of energy. Not to mention that 1/4 cast skills can be interrupted by bots, but I personally haven't been able to cancel them. Even if I could I wouldn't be able to do so before the bot reacted. And yes I've been in RA matches where I've had three or more 1/4 cast skills interrupted in a matter of seconds.

I quit pvp because it wasn't fun to play against botters. Yes I understand on rare occasion someone is that good, but to say it isn't a problem means you either don't pvp, play only physical characters, or don't have a shred of common sense. I don't care how good your ping is you're not going to interrupt perfectly against 1/4 and 1/2 second casts every time.

But that said, I've moved back to other games. And unless I see evidence of something concrete being done in GW1, I won't be buying GW2. The simple fact is if they are botting in GW1 they will be botting in GW2. I enjoyed both PvE and PvP, but after clearing dungeons and getting various titles the only thing I still enjoy is pvp... oh wait used to enjoy.

So what if it's clearly stated in the EULA. At my college, the school posts its honor codes everywhere and made it clear to every student that any kinds of cheating is prohibited. Guess what? That didn't stop about 70% of the students from cheating. Hell, you can cheat but you just can't get caught. That's how life is.

Trying to figure out which is more sad. People that bot (why even bother playing at all then?) or people that QQ about someone getting a title through a bot.

An accomplishment ascertained without doing anything for it is worthless. And PvE titles are basically ye olde grind and worthless besides they rarely convey any in game advantage and in GW2 they won't give you any real advantage either (if they did GW2 would not be a game worth playing anyway).

The only bots that are a problem (imho) are the ones that give players an unfair advantage in PvP the 'assist' bots if you will, but only because they ruin the game for the rest of us, not because they farm a tittle.
HA rank hasn't ever said anything about skill and r9 has been the rule (not the exception) ever since Power's days (does he even still play?).

Title's have no value to start with, I don't see why people would worry about bots that get something that has no value.

Lord Sojar · May 10, 2010, 07:16 AM // 07:16

Has it occurred to any of you that they are working on it? They introduced a method to stop account hacks from occurring as often via the Character Name entry... they will fix this. You need to have patience; fixing major exploits in code isn't easy.

Basically, if they come out and say that they are fixing it, and what they plan to do... it's something like doing this:

"We are fixing botting issues by introducing X thingy that has Y effect. This will go through in about Z days/weeks"

Why thank you ANET for telling all the botters when and how you plan to fix this so they can find workarounds. GG

Missing HB · May 10, 2010, 07:18 AM // 07:18

It's being a huge joke in HA now , some people form teams like 3 sins 2 pblockers and 3 monks. But , the point is most people who do play it are those who will use bots on mesmer ( else it won't be that good ) . But ,what you want to do when both monks are pblocked/rupted whole game , while 3 sins just attacking randomly others. This is really getting pathetic.

The same situation occurs in gvg ( looking last mat ), and although its a bit easier to handle than in HA , because you can split , on some maps it's just unplayable .
So , if we could get HB back , at least 1 format where you won't face annoying bots would be nice ( if nothing is done ofc..)

Nice plug for HB there at the last second. What makes you think HB wouldn't be full of botters as well? With how easy it is to create a bot nowadays, it would be even WORSE. Considering that 1 human trying to micro 4 chars would have approximately negative one billion percent chance of winning against 4 coordinated bots.
