That's the poorest escuse of a bot I've ever seen. Sorry, but that's not an issue that's comedy. Come back when you've found some decent bots.

it's great your proactive but I couldn't help laugh a bit cause it stuck me as if you discovered bigfoot or had an alien encounter. I've seen them also, don't let it spoil your fun and continue on it's Anet's job to police them.

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

Originally posted by Connmacart ... you do know bots typically don't teleport around in games right? Thats a pretty massive issue compared to other games where they have to play by the game rules and can't cheat like that. |

Paid accounts, what makes you think Anet, Blizzard, or any other corporation is going to care if someone is paying them money?
Unless someone is somehow causing them to lose money, and upsetting a very select few players isn't enough... These bots would have to drive away more plays than bots before it becomes worth considering. |

Originally posted by Painlezz Eh. If they get banned they have to buy a new account and a better bot. More $ in it for them to actually ban them.
The problem is that a lot of these accounts are probably stolen anyway. |

Yeah there are a lot of bots but those were pretty lame.
Most "pro" farmer bots use ranged weapons and will "sense" mobs nearby and teleport close enough to them then repeat the process. The most comon by far use guardians with a scepter/torch build for the range and durability.
I even saw one a couple of days ago botting the bandit attacks on that farm N of Claypool in the human starter zone. I saw it die a couple of times and it teleported back from the closest waypoint and continued teleporting, auto-killing and auto-looting. Some of them are so well programmed I can't help but have some admiration for them... just before I report them
Another common spot for them is that broken bridge in the Kessex Hills human area that gets attacked by centaurs every few minutes. There you get a combination of bots and "live" farmers that create a kill zone where the centaurs spawn. At any time you can find 20+ engineer turrets, aoe arrows and rains of fire going constantly there.

considering you can't steal mobs in this game... I don't really give a shit. |

Originally posted by CujoSWAoA I am more concerned with those accounts that are hacked. There should be none of that going on. People are having a difficult enough time getting their friends onto their servers.

Originally posted by CujoSWAoA Until you get hacked by one of those people and your account becomes a botter's account then you'll be on the forums complaining. I think at that point you'll finally give a shit and realize this problem affect's everyone even if you don't think it does. The botting problem is really a lot worse than anyone thinks. When I last played I seen tons of bots. Go to any spot where a DE happens every 5-10 minutes and you'll see 5-15 bots spamming aoes. |

What kills me the different kinds of botting now double bots, tripple bots, solo bots, warping bots. thinking tripple bots are used in heavy agro areas where someone could easily kill 1 bot so they use three which is almost no way to kill them even with a vet or champion.

Originally posted by CujoSWAoA You should care about them ruining the game economy. When one "person" can farm using several stolen accounts at once, they are effectively gaining resources at a faster rate than you. Get enough people doing this and they can take over the economy and control prices. It happens in almost every MMO. I have only seen a few MMOs be proactive about preventing this kind of disruptive behavoir. |

Bot's really arn't an issue. They cant steal your kills, your mat node, in fact all they can do is look stupid. The money they farm may effect the economy, but that can be good or bad depending on what your doing. And they do get banned. Also welcome to mmo's in 2012. Troll harder. |

Accusing him of being a troll is pure nub troll 101, there are several areas with 50 or 60 bots pilled up. They do steal kills because if you are actually playing the event, they whipe out everything before you can tag it. Also it does jack up the economy and account theft is very much an issue, if your all coded up to bot dont try and minimize or justify it as being ok. This type of behavior does have an impact on quality players, not punks mind you as they tend to love their chance at buying gold and gems of just power leveling their new Ranger without actually having to play the game. |

I witnessed and reported 12 bots all standing on the same spot (was hard to click them all to report them). Every last one was a ranger with a bear. they stood at the entrance to a camp where a DE started every 5 minutes. Their efficiency was extremely impressive. Couldn't count the hundreds of mobs killed per minute.

Select any T2 - T3 Material ( Small Venom Sacks are a great example ) 10th September they were 1s 19 per 21st september a MASSIVE amount was dumped into the TP ( This goes for most other mats as well on this day ) Now they are only 30c per I have been watching the TP & whats happening is that 1000's are placed on the market, the prices drop, then they are pulled & thousands more put in again at a much lower price. IMO this is a co-ordinated TP attack, most likely by said bots & farmers to drive down the prices. They are buying up the Mats at the lowered buy prices, will then pull all the material off the market, driving the prices back up & they then sell the materials for a profit. Thats my theory anyway. They will then sell the gold they earn from this to the players that buy Gold Sellers Gold.
