I think ANET should ban every bot in the game so that the economy flows better.

People will find a way around it.

Can't sign, because

Anet looks for bots accounts, and takes actions when they find them.

I do like how Anet does it's best "innocent till proven guilty" (there not flawless, but they try hard) approach. Every online game I know suffers from this problem.

Pointless thread is pointless, almost as much as this post in fact.

The only way to truly ban every bot farmer is to make GW a completely offline, single player game with no multiplayer aspect whatsoever.

But that would also kill the game completely.

ANET cannot do anything about the bots, but balance areas and the loot system so they get less rewards for solo botting. And of course, all normal players suffer as well.

Would you rather their be rotating bots in out of place zones, or innocent players getting banned ? Ever played WoW ? WoW admin's dont even bother to check the IP's the accounts in question were broadcasting. They suspect and ban based off of suspicion, not evidence. I like how Anet does things in banning.

And to be perfectly honest, while bots do hurt the economy, the ones who are truly hurting the economy are the greedy ecto-elitists who drive prices insanely high by demanding and buying for ridiculous prices.

While we're at it, let's introduce an auction house, an XP title, more uses for balthazar faction and better storage.

Well, bots farm the same place all day long. And if someone farms in the same place over and over again...well then they need to be suspended from the game or else they will never log off, so ANET can just ban someone who over-farms one area without a party.

This thread is so very pointless.

A.net bans over 2000 a bots a week. They just keep coming back.

Yet another pointless suggestion from Frazzy.
