Originally posted by ennymith Did you miss the early days of GW1, where bots drove the prices up so high that the economy was ruined for almost the entire life of the title? At least they're not ignoring it this time. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Glad they addressed the issue at least. It may not be as widespread as people make it out to be, but it's there. I watched three of them in Frostgorge Sound last night, teleporting around, all moving at the same time, really obvious. I reported them and moved on. Botting to some degree has been in every major MMO I have personally played, so while I know that it's impossible to get rid of it, I hope they can curtail a bit more than they currently are.

Originally posted by Worstluck Did you ever, by chance, try that crappy F2P called Cabal? The gold spam chat cascaded so fast that your own public text wouldn't stay on the screen for more than half a second. Worst botting/spamming game I've seen so far. no GW2 won't kill WoW, but it's time to move on and quit worrying about those people still playing it. - eyelolled |

Originally posted by ennymith They never promised to rid the game of gold sellers. You just can't do this, unless you close the game down. There will always be hackers, there needs to be only one. Instead of making promises they can't keep, they're working on the problem. How's that for baloney? "Every choke point DE in the game is infected ith numerous bots." List of "choke point DE's" and list of servers you've noticed this on please? Now the gold sellers are Anet themselves? *Gasp* I suppose you have something to back that up, lest your own words be taken for baloney instead of Anet's..   |

Originally posted by botrytis Actually, you need gold or credits on swtor more than Gw2, so like i said, is a big deal for farmers. i dont know what SSO mean, but i remember swtor with 1.7 mill of players after 3 month of release without a single bot or goldspammer ingame, or even hacks, GW2 is also full of them. Not even a month on gw2 and the active population is dropin fast everyday, even worse after MoP launch, 1 day before MoP: 11 full servers on NA. One day After MoP just 1 Full server on NA, not a single one in europe. |

Originally posted by Eir_S Yep, the game would often just crash as you came running into town by the bombardment of gold selling spam. Going back to town was always a risky proposition at peak hours. I've seen it bad in F2P games, but CABAL takes the title without any contest from any of the other games I played. |

Originally posted by Raekon Spotted and reported multiple Bots and Hackers in the past few weeks.
-One case, 2 players were following a 3 step DE in the morning my time, saw them still there later that afternoon, and when I checked back later that night they were still at it. -The other one I 'Love' are the Rangers, Fire an Arrow, recoil backwards, and then vanish to reappear at some distant mob. On Ehmry Bay, 'Xiao Nan' and 'Stichy' were doing that for at least 2 days in a row that I noticed. |

Originally posted by Eletheryl Did we play the same SWTOR? I remember getting multiple in-game mails in SWTOR with gold selling advertisements back when I played. Doing a quick google search for swtor gold brings up as many hits for gold selling sites as for any other major MMO, as well. I haven't played since release month, but it seems you're a bit off-base here. |

The last two times I played GW2 I encountered bots, but I am only realizing this in retrospect. The first time was a ranger who seemed to be logged in and farming the same spot over and over again for hours and hours. He was alone though. I did find it odd that he seemed to not have moved and was still on killing things. Second time was very annoying. I encountered a group of 5 higher level toons all stuck to each other that teleported into the DE I was just starting on, they killed everything onsite very quickly, which kept me from being able to loot anything at all, and before I knew it they had ported out somewhere else. They literally slaughtered everything in site before I could get a shot. Their names were also not French names though I am on a French server. Not having had time to check up on the bot issue, I did wonder if I had indeed encountered bots, but I wasn't sure so I did not report them. I wish I had now. I rarely buy/sell on the market (less than a handful of times since I prefer to salvage crafting materials... more valuable than selling them on the market) so haven't looked at the prices really. Playing MUDs and MMOs since 1994. |

Thing I hated the most about bots were the idiots who let them just do whatever they wanted. I would literally go out of my way to get them killed, then people would walk up and rez them. I would tell them not to because its a bot and your just suporting them exploiting the game. They would heed me no mind and continue to do it. Honestly I think the only way to combat bots would be to make weapons break (at no extra cost to us) so that they have no means of casting their spells after they have died so many times.

Originally posted by MosesZD Don't you know? Thats a game, they buy an account and bot until enough people report them, then they sell their winnings. The better the spot, the more money they make off it. Its like a strategic game of chance, only there's money involved. |

And after they collect your account information from your trojaned computer, they relieve you of the gold and sell it to the next sucker.
Personally, I think you have to be at least six kinds of stupid to buy gold at this point in time. Same goes with modding and add-ons. I mean, come on, these people are dishonest. They steal accounts. They break the rules for a living. Why do people not think they're not going to turn on you? Have you never heard the expression --- there is no honor among thieves? |

Originally posted by Xzen Actually, I know CCP does that in EVE, wasn't aware Blizzard had the same policy, never really saw a post from anyone who said that had happened to them in WOW. Definitely not the standard practice in the industry. "What gamers want ... is new game play patterns different from what they've experienced before" - Axehilt |
