Oh yeah is her name "Trixie Firecacker" (I think)? It has a bar full of interrupts except Ether Feast, and she interrupts whoever closest to her activating a skill. So its kind of funny to see her P-Drain your Distortion or D-Shot your Shield Bash. Otherwise its god damn annoying since bots are damn accurate in interruption.

If this issue remains unresolved, I won't be surprised that these interrupting bots will be used in GvG.

Hmmm.. wonder what the option to report "botters" is for? Honestly I think the report option was invented so they can ignore you without having to take action. I've used the feature many times to report bots, inappropriate character names, ect. and gone so far as to add a character named "vaginal intercourse" to my friends list after reporting to see if any action was actually taken. After two weeks of seeing this player still active I concluded my investigation and confirmed the /report option is Anet's way of passively ignoring us.
As for the bots, I have seen all of these you mentioned. I gave up bot reporting and started reporting as leeching since this is the only automated action that will actually hinder a botter's ability to continue their charade.

Then he starts casting enches, while the mes is getting away. I tell him...

Me: "Dude wth stop casting enches just chase him and 1 hit does it"
DB Hammer: "..."
He keeps casting enches whenever they lasted their duration. Eventually mes recovers and degens him down (hes a migrane mes), derv doesnt have an IMS.
Me: "You dumbass coulda won if you just chased him"

Derv never replied.

After a few rounds I see him again, on the other team. I was playing DB hammer. I lineback his ass, and he casts the same enches in the same order.

See him again and again in the same 10 win run... I told the enemy team "You guys have a derv bot, good luck" everytime i saw him. He has maybe 450 HP and no armor insignias.

Under the name of "I Have Never Lost" make sure you report him. He (i mean It) has reached G2 already.

You posted that 3 months ago, but he's still here, botting in ID. Today i got him 3 times in my teams and once as opponent. I took some screenshots as proof that he's a bot, but i couldn't make a video. Come on people, when you see this guy in RA int district, report him; i can't belive he still didn't got his permaban.

WTF no. Even with screenshots you have no proof of people actually botting. JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE CAST THEIR SPELLS IN A CERTAIN PATTERN DOESNT MEAN THEYRE A BOT. This proposal is going to lead to abuse.

Anet doesn't get payed enough to care tbh...

I have seen "I Have Never Lost".

He has a gold cape, and he's in DF (Delta Formation), which apparently was a sold guild. I PM'd him as well a couple times cause I kept seeing him in my matches (and they would lose) but he never responded. He played a dervish during those matches as well.

If he's botting, that's pretty sad. Nothing I saw indicated 'BOT!!' but then again I don't really pay attention to see if people are acting like bots.

So many bots in RA, FA, JQ, and most other places...pretty sad too, makes you think if a-net even pays attention or even cares. Theres a bot in JQ from the guild that does HA alot [wOOm], shes a mes i dont recall the name though. Plus a necro too that uses derv enchants and just casts them over and over. Theres another necro as well with obsidian armor and some french name that bots there frequently.

Bots aren't strictly an RA problem. I think the general problem is already known; there's no mechanical solution, and that's unfortunate from some perspectives, but I don't know that you can ever fix the problem that way. And while I understand the desire of some people for a catalog of known bots, there are several reasons I have to forcefully veto this idea. Among other things, the representative that spoke to Jeydra is right; a game instance log can be useful for making such a determination, while a picture is not. I would hate for anyone who isn't a bot to be improperly maligned by such a listing.

Use the /report feature. It's there for a reason. Closed for thread necromancy.
