Is there a way to report an entire town? I tried reporting a few, but there's simply too many. It has been a few days. All E/As.

Probably the Quest Drakes on the Plain or that boss with the some-what-good Green Bow.

you have to be sure they're bots before you report them - like wisping them stuff and smth like that

wouldn't be nice to report a normal person that looks like a bot cus of the same prof. and secondary even if he is farming the same thing.

@Puppeteer - If you see 20 people running exactly same route ten times, you don't need to whisper them. Especially if they stop at the same place for same amount of time.

What is the point of these threads, I apologise to the op but again what is the point.
Its like reporting a crime outside you house on a forum and inviting comments, this does exactly the same ie nothing.

Bots in the town ok I believe you, I take your word but I cannot do anything and no one here can do anything and its a totally innefficient way to report it.
Plus the people who run the bots may read your post and move on, congrats you just upset some dodgy people and warned them you were on to them.

Not as stupid as yelling out your window I saw you burgle the house and in a day or so I will call the cops, but still pretty pointless.

Mind you arenanet need to change their policy too, they openly invite people to comment on forums rather than directly contect them.
It needs to be made clear on their website that they do want you to contact them directly about such things.
Arenanet we may need a hotline or hotlink maybe.

anyway thats my 2 cents

Hello? Obviously you STILL cant report an entire town, since what if an E/A player just happens to be doing things in town somewhere you arent looking, or arrives all on their own after you report the entire town?

Bots will never be defeated, fyi. Normal players experimenting with bot software will get caught, banned, and wise up, of course. Gold farmers on the other hand, farm accounts and buy new ones endlessly. Best that can be done is report the ones you see and hope Anet looks into it and actually takes long enough to ensure it wasnt an honest player that happened to be farming the same thing a bot was.

once again... Anet dont have the technology to ban all the bots yet. For some reason, they cant track players doing the SAME exact thing for hours on end.

Go to Ascalon City ID1, this guy has 3 bots that run through all day long (ive reported them about 50000 times each) they are N/Me i believe, and there farming the -50 cesta quest. Oh, and there level2, I even managed to find the TRADER! they guy who has the bots setup has them trade him, and he sits next to the quest guy. Unfortunatley, theres no way you can report him for being the owner cause he's not a bot, not spamming, not a bad name, and not using fowl language.

Oh, and the necroes names are like exactly the same (Xsfiabni F, Xsdiabni G, etc...)

You can either report the bots, or you can try contacting support and telling them that there are bots there. Nothing we can do on guru.
