Personally, I'd guess that the bots taking the henchmen is yet another way for them to avoid detection... Though when there are so many of them, it's quite obvious indeed that they are bots.

O.o I've never met a human being that would carry out the systematic, repetitive, and nonsensical behavior shown by these players. I think it's safe to assume that they are indeed bots (scripts, macros, w/e you want to call them).

Btw are people that are watching these bots reporting them? It's pretty obvious so you shouldn't have any problem explaining with words and a couple screenshots.

Bots are people too. At least, they were once before. Now they've devolved into something else. Those poor people...

One of the usual bots had an outburst after hours worth of farming.

Looks like it did the same "haha" typing but then had a script error or something because all those other letters are the default movement keys for GW. Unless he was moving at the same time while saying that....

i think i got the best idea how to stop bots... at least for a while. Although this is just really a joke lol, whenever they ban a bot, put up some weird porn movie instead of the guild wars intro theme, that'll keep um busy

Just whisper them and then all their chat will start going to you. Then you log off and log in with another toon.

I've tried this but most of them are set to offline or do not disturb.

I've done that before in the middle of a fight or when really bored....i've seen other players do it too, and with skills, typing out numbers in the middle of a battle ^_^ often met with a 'lol'.
