Listen to the above poster that Kaopectate stuff really works /offtopic

Tbh PVP in guildwars is dying this is just another example. I just hope that ANET makes PVP skills a completely separate entity to PVE in GW2, and gets rid of the Z chest and replaces it with some sort of reward that is tied to your account cos then ra bots will be uber pointless.

I just tried entering ra 5 times, and had at least 1 bot on my team every single time >.<

Different to the bot build the OP posted, though. These ones are warrior with no secondary, but instead of spamming stances they have

Charge
Power Attack
Cyclone Axe
Frenzy
Heal Sig

They charge directly into the nearest enemy of course, spamming frenzy on recharge, and then generally spend the rest of the match just using frenzy and healsig together on recharge. If you, as a monk, keep them above 50% health for a bit they'll spam frenzy and power attack instead, until they go back below 50% and spam heal sig.

Very annoying. The odd bot here or there one can ignore, but this is a plague of the damn things!

I have passed this along to Support, and if they are able to find a means to discern the bots from the players,

Well, start with the /report "botting" tickets, which I'm sure there are thousands of from many aspects of the game, unfortunatly. Find the ones from RA, find the ones conected to the guild [VVAR] and observe.

If only it were that easy though.

Shadow Demon XxX or some such is anew one I saw Sunday while practicing Paragoning refrain upkeeps.

oddly enough the only reason these bots even work is because most players are total idiots in RA......mayby the bots can fix that. Hmmm if they do that we should send em to ab next.

no what needs to be fixed pronto is the gold wisper spammers that is getting really really really out of RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing hand.
seriously i may just have made all their friends lists or something but i stand in a mission and get like 10 of those a minuet some days...i may take a screen shot.

I have one of the bots on my team the other day. We still ran off 5+ win streak, but the bot was by far the weak link.

This particular bot was a W/N. In addition to the Riposte/D. Riposte/Glad Defense spam, it also kept using Plague Touch. Pretty obvious botting when Plague Touch is spammed every 8 or 9 seconds, regardless of what conditions.

Nobody would complain if the bots were any good, but these ones are terrible. Plus they love to go after pets/minions.

What happened to the old Dervish/Ele bot? That guy was better than most of the shitters I got back when I played in RA. These new tank bots sound simply awful.

I'd take one of these.

I got a screenshot of [VVAR] having 2 bots on the same team, i thought that was pretty funny.

PS:
These [VVAR] bots still havn't been dealt with yet, why are ANet so slow on this one?

Does anyone else find it sad that alot of us wouldn't mind bots on our team if they were good ?

I once got this complete newb in RA.. I think his name was shroud or something like that.

Dirty nub

After playing RA for about 4 hours today, I finally ran into one of these VVAR bots. Was pretty bad. Didn't move unless somebody got in aggro range. Reported him.
Definately agree it's a bot.

Isn't this the oldest joke in GW? Someone actually wrote a script to run it >.<

Bots in RA are just like Henchmen in PvE.

erk · Feb 25, 2008, 01:17 PM // 13:17

The [Vvar] bots are rampant in the American districts, 4 games in a row the same bot joined. Nobody reported it, so I guess it will become the new RA meta. Not that I care as it wasn't on my team so easy wins for me.

Well, a week isn't really a necro. 1-12 months is.
Besides, the topic still hasn't been addressed. VVAR bots are still rampent.

snikerz · Feb 26, 2008, 12:35 AM // 00:35

my support ticket is like 16 replies long now, i finally managed to get anet to recognize my problem, they claim the devs know about it, and rest assured they will address it, but they dont know when that will happen, they told me to check gameupdates periodically.

in the mean time, the VVAR bots are still around, and dig this, they are gladiator lvl 2!!!!!.

i kid you not!!!, thats how long they have been botting..

trialist · Feb 26, 2008, 04:20 AM // 04:20

Gotten one of these VVAR warrior bots myself while i was fooling around in RA. The fool picked up the flag and started spamming riposte and healsig and when the match started, he c-spaced into the nearest foe and for the whole match did nothing but c-space while holding flag to foes, all the while still spamming riposte and healsig.

Obviously the botting script fails on holding a flag. It was really a face-to-palm thing to watch. My team simply reported him and left together. Didn't think RA could sink any lower but this takes the cake.
