I was just gonna say, Pure Pwnage, right? 
Yeah, off of X-fire... :P I remember that episode :P
Botting has nothing to do with being a newb though, I don't really get why you're calling them newb's, but... (botting takes some skill to set up).. It definately is evil though for the rest of use 'cause these gold farmers go and sell the stuff on e-bay and distort the in-game market

Stormed support about those bots few month ago, NOTHING has changed.
Granite Citadel still full of this #$%#.

Some turnips, some potatoes, the clever ones farm gold, I find carrots to be much more profitable.

Yeah, Granite has been packed lately. I saw about 10-12 last night and the night before. Annoying, especially since reporting them doesn't seem to do anything.

Reporting that there are bots in Granite Citadel is like saying "the sun came up this morning." Everyone already knows about it. A lot of them are up there to cap Shield of Judgement, since Mineral Springs is the only place in all of Guild Wars to cap that skill.

Edit - The video is funny stuff.

well just indulge me here...
Would you not agree that banning a farmer bot is rather pointless?
The gold farm bot is the little fish. The bottom of the chain.
the gold farmer bot is replaceable and dispensable.
Let the gold farmer bots run loose and trace them to the higher end of the gold buying chain, the accounts used to transfer money/items to the actual buyers and then shut down whole bot networks at a time, farmers, sellers, buyers and all.

<evil voice> It's in anet's best intrest to keep botters around and to keep banning the small fish since its good money.</evil voice>
Brianna
Or, Remove the sign and nerf whatever they are farming outside.. that will keep them away from it lol. But yeah I've seen tons of those bots stopping by there lately.. It's just that Stone Summit group outside that they are farming I think.
Roshi_ikkyu
sadly what there farming is useful to real farmers as well. Nerfing the sign is a good idea but

A good fix could be RANDOM rocks where the bots stuck! both in town and explorable! I hope a developer read this.
Miss Persephone
Nice video, amused me...
I never considered they were going to cap signet of judgement actually, just thought they were farming some crap there...wonder how they kill stuff with no other team members and no signet of judgement (yet)
Yes, a small part of me thinks this too...

So Anet has a nice revenue stream here - every week they ban (lets say) 100 bots and their sales increase by those same 100 accounts. Right?

Stuck bots FTW! that's the solution! no one will even try to bot if the bot stuck and stuck and collect NO gold at all!
Monk Gsb

You could also move the location of the Merchant every few minutes or so, putting him on some kind of patrol so he moves all over the place in a random fashion.
There's all sorts of minor things you could do to stop it, fiddly maybe but given how MMO's reputations can depend on how badly they're exploited it'll be benefitial to anet in the long term

Just put in rocks to block them or make the sign bigger so they can't go around it
Orphan Anthem
yeah obviously if that sign was removed bot farmer=GG
netniwk
or just remove the signs?
J3mo
It's not just AD1, come and take a look at ED1 
, just as bad 
, just as bad
Katrina Sandstorm
They're all run by the same person. Hahahahahahahahha! No.
DRGN
They're probably farming the Stone Summit that ambush when you get close enough to the rocks; they can probably deal with the Necromancers via a cover enchant since they only have Strip Enchantment for enchant removal.

And 2nd especially in big towns like LA (hence that's why they call the area "Merchants Row" where the merchants and traders are located), the merchant would wander all over town and he could end up down by the docks so that's a stupid idea.
