Originally posted by IfrianMMOOriginally posted by Aerowyn I find myself agreeing with both of your posts, there are a lot of good points in them with good common sense and valid reason. To the defense of some fans though, some of the persistently nonstop negative and always-complaining posters can help polarize a debate and push even a moderate fan of a game to the other extreme of always defending and talking positive about the game they like. Which leads to other posters into only summing up all the negative stuff they can find about a game and posting them in hyperboles, resulting in the constant circle discussions of extremely negative vs extremely positive that we see over and over again on this site :) |

Originally posted by Purutzil Over 260 hours, 65% map completion in game and still haven't seen one on my server. I'm sure they are there, it's just not as notorious as haters would like others to think it is. Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |

Originally posted by Amjoco I'm with you on Rall and have yet to see one as well unless they all hang it in zones I haven't seen yet.. every game has bots though Lineage 2 was by far the worst one I played as far as bots. I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

Originally posted by syntax42 Guild Wars 2 is not yet available in China. You laugh when you see threads like these. I laugh when people like you just plain provide misinformation. |

Originally posted by aRtFuLThinG And I laugh because you think people in China can't get copies to MMOs that aren't regionalized yet... Look, ANET doesn't block server access based on region (thank god because I wouldn't be able to play).

Originally posted by xpiher a lot of people play through vpn's anyway to get around that stuff even if they did region lock.. but since they don't yea it's fair game all around:) I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today.

Originally posted by xpiher Non-legit copies and accounts are not official "players". Hacked accounts is not necessarily the same as"botters" and "gold farmers". Also, if you say that people in China will go to such lengths to circumvent regional limitation you are implying that GW2 is actually pretty popular in China? In which case that would also means that has a pretty big population regardless of number of gold farmers or botters. Which both are NOT facts. GW2 is neither available openly in China nor is it popular in China.

Originally posted by Aerowyn After 200+ hours, I have seen 2. They were annoying, but it's hardly a game-breaking situation. I reported them, a couple hours later they were gone. Overall, I finally feel like I'm seeing the initial signs of the economy stablizing. I've actually sold a few crafted items lately, and the price of common goods is slowly rising, which is cool. Rare ingredients are still pretty steep, but I guess that's normal. |

Originally posted by Amjoco I do not understand posts like this. You admit you have never seen a bot, yet opine that it's not a problem. This is not some Bigfoot/Loch Ness phenomenon, they are numerous and blatant: |

Originally posted by Darkmoth I'm on a high population server, and they are certainly not numerous. They're annoying though, and the 2 that I did see since beta really pissed me off. I agree with you though, bots in general in MMOs are a real problem and need to be dealt with right away, but it seems like Anet has been banning hundreds of people weekly, so I guess they're trying. Must be a delicious target for the gold farmers, because they don't have to pay a monthly fee. If they can survive without being banned, I guess it's pure profit. |

Originally posted by Darkmoth I said I hadn't seen any. They haven't bothered me. Why is that hard to understand? Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |

Bots dont sleep, easy like that, atm the game is just full of them servers full 24/7 in this case, is not something good.

Originally posted by Darkmoth I'll get back to you when it's a problem for me. In the mean time I'm just enjoying the game. I'ts a $60 video game, nothing is a serious problem. Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |

Originally posted by Amjoco I just now logged into Rall, and went to Kessex Hills near the centaur compound - a known botting spot. There were 5 Guardians: Rdc Fra All killing fireflies. They were teleporting across the field, and I mean hundreds of feet, in a fairly obvious pattern. I am no expert on Guardians, but I know teleportation isn't in the repertoire. And yet, no one's ever seen a bot, hundreds of hours of playtime, yadda yadda. How do you not notice teleporting Guardians?? This was ten minutes ago, mind you, not days or weeks. That being said, I shouldn't have singled out your post - it's the general attitude that bothers me. |

The said third party hack allows for alot more then just moving to spawn spots. They can teleport anywhere they want within the game at any time. |

Originally posted by Amjoco Fair enough, although these teleports were much, much farther than a 1200 range, and nearly back-to-back. However, I'd have to time it/measure it to be sure. And I don't have a problem with you personally not seeing any bots (although they are hard to miss), I have a problem with the widespread apathy of the playerbase towards botting. You didn't just say "I haven't seen any", you implied it was an overblown issue ("Not as nefarious as the haters want you to think"). There's scads of evidence on how widespread it is, and the fact that I was able to find botters at a moment's notice should concern anyone. |
