Nameless version: Something must be done.

Before you lock this thead, please be aware I am not reporting anything .. or using this as an outlet to report.... this is ment to be a discussion thead only. .. I saw no other postings on the matter in the top 5 pages of the fourm, so I made my own.

I have not violited any rules of the fourm with this current topic.


This the "Safe" version of the post.. .. no names. here.

I've heard many people talk about it, but I didn't belive it intill I saw it myself.

I went to the Granite Citadel today to see THE BOTS.. and I have ask.. Why is a.net not doing anything about it? My guild mate has said they have been there for over a month now.. and I sat there for 10 minutes and saw 29 diffrent bots running..in 10 minutes I had written down the names of them but that post was locked and all the names of the bots where removed. (which is fine and I understand that)... Its easy enough to just go see for yourself.


These are just some of the names, Im sure I missed a couple.. and this doesn't include the bots in the International Districts... which is like an easy 20 more.

This is easy to see they are bots, they follow set paths..

A.net keeps nerfing skills, and trying to stop farming.. and they allways have said they are very very intent to stop bots.. well then if so.. why a.net are you just leaving this untouched?

I have edited my secreen shots to exclude any names.

-I wrote that almost a month ago, but I decided to wait a month before I posted it just to see if a.net WOULD do anything.. now its been almost 2 months.. and the bots STILL are all over the place in plain to see Granite Citidel.

If for some reason you don't belive me.. go there yourself.. and see the constant influx of bots in and out of the area, and how the all are Monk/Warrior or Monk/Mesmer level 20.. with Grey armor.

Here's a secreen shot of the merchant getting .. Botted!!


A.net.. I just want the answer to one question... Why havn't you just banned them? or atleast a temp ban? or atleast.. . done something about it?

If Ms Grey could make a statement about it.. it would prove to me that atleast they are aware of it.. and might do something to stop this.. if you wanna know what REALLY ruins guild wars.. its the bots.

PLEASE stop the bots.

I beg you.

It would take all of 30 minutes.... or maybe one hour.. to ban these bots that are destroying your wonderful game that I have been playing since the WPE.

Also, what about the people who spam "Buy gold from our website" In Ascalon ID 1? I went in there the other day to look for a item.. and the local chat is flooded with people posting websites to buy gold FROM the botters..

Are you NOT aware of this? How can you not be aware? .. Isn't posting websites to buy ingame items a breach of EULA? Why is the same name person able to sit in Ascalon city ID1 for HOURS at a time posting these websites?

Please.. do something.

These secreen shots, have been edited to contain no names, and are just normal secreen shots of guild wars, taken less then one hour ago from the time of this posting.

I hope you have a good flame-retardant suit handy.

Thanks!

Would be nice to get rid of bots.GW is not using monthy fee payment.Bots just leech away server bandwidth while they could serv players for a smoother play.
So I dont see any benefit to keep bot owners happy while making real players frustrate from lag.
I can see the reason behind the recent change in drop rate which cause some farmers to cry out as well.

I did bot reporting few months ago... so far no action.I doubt Gaile will respond to this.If only they would have official GM patroling all those farming outposts.

There's really nothing left to discuss on this topic. It's all been said.

ArenaNet is trying to manage this... please see all related threads and the sticky currently going over the farming nerf.
