As many of you are aware, there has yet again been another influx on Bots on American Servers. Its seems we as Americans we tend not to do anything about what we don't see. "Who cares if they are on the International Servers and Districts, Let them farm it's not hurting me!"

Well just like in the past the Bot Farmers are not happy with just using International Servers anymore. They think lets exploit another Server because we are not making enough money because there are to many bots in here. If you think I am just blowing smoke...Many remember Elona Reach, Talus Chute, Prophets Path, The Ettin Runs, 2 Man Underworld Farm...Do I need to continue?

I was in Yohlon Haven American Dist 1 this after noon and there was a Stream of at least 15 M/W Bots running from Merchant to Storage back to Arkjok Ward over and over and over again. They were not attached to a guild, nor any titles, just in Cheap Droks Tats. I had noticed about 2 weeks ago that this was going on in The International Yohlon Haven Dist 1.

So what are we going to do about it? Are we gonna be naive and tell ourselves that ANET will take care of this on there own? Or should we just Invest in These guys?

ANET can't and Won't Fix this problem on their own. They will just Nerf what the Bots are farming and then inturn Screw over all of us. These bots are a plauge and sometimes I wish Guildwars was not set up for Individual Instances because I would love to Jack up some bots.

I am asking the community to Step up and I'm telling ANET to hold up to there end of the Bargon. NCSoft Support has this posted:

The steps are Simple and Easy. I'm Calling on the Community to Flood ANET with Names and Screen Shots of these Bots.

And to the ANET Guys, I love your game but you can't be this blind. Please pull up the Guildwars Guru Search Engine and type in "bots." If normal every day gamers can see this why can you not see the problem Exists and Place a GM in the zone and let them go Ban Happy!!! And I hear what you are saying .. "We know bots are an issue and we are working everyday towards investigating and removing those accounts" and so on and so on.

I personally enjoy farming myself and would like to continue to have the ablity to do it. But when someone is cheating or profiting by using a bot and it begins to effect me I get pissed off! Last week I could do a run in Arkjok Ward and make 1.6k to 1.8k clearing out stuff but now with these bots it has dropped to 1.3k if I'm lucky a run! And I am watching for the Anti Farm Code Popup and not getting placed on it. I go and do missions and quests to clear it just in case and still the same thing 1.3k or less a run.

I want FOW Armor and I can't get it because I can no longer 2 man the UW efficently and get the Ecto I need. So I am left to the Grind, which seems to be a lost cause at this point now.

Lets step up Community and ANET hold to your end of the Bargon and Keep us Happy!

"We know bots are an issue and we are working everyday towards investigating and removing those accounts" lol. Do anet workers of anet besides gaile actually play the game? Anyone at elona could spot a zillion bots. The problem with having a community do this is if someone got pissed off at, e.g. me, they would simply call me a bot. But yeah, any trustworthy individual player could spot at least 500 bots a day minimum and pm them to ensure if they were in fact a bot, so I would support some sort of system that anet endorses to sign up as a bot basher. But a random list from random people will do jack.

This section is for players to suggest things they'd like to see Anet implement. It's not a section to try and convince others to join your protest 'cause you're having trouble farming fow armor.

I think Knightsaber Sith said it nicely.

Flooding Anet with angry emails solves nothing. They can't stop this type of thing because it's clientside. Anet can only deal with serverside issues.
