Suggestions:
Righteous Signet:
Target scammer takes 1000 damage for selling items 25% over their regular price, or buying items 50% under their regular price. He/she looses 5% of his/her current Gold/Plat and cannot Trade for 10 hours.
Banishing Signet:
If target party member does not respond within 30 seconds he/she takes 1000 damage, looses 25% of his current exp, is replaced by a random Hero of his/her Profession, and cannot participate in PvP for 24 hours.
Grief Signet:
Cure yourselves of the effect of any punishment if you prove yourself innocent within 10 minutes. If you fail to meet these requirements the effect is doubled.

...Are you actually serious about that`?

It's a good way to force bots run fertile, symbiosis and enchant builds

Honestly I don't mind bots. Its better then people who leave the griefers the runners etc. Also honestly they aren't THAT bad of players. I've had a couple get kills. Then again I've seen people get kills in RA while disconnected. RA is such a crapshoot a few bots here or there aren't a problem.

RA bots are very simple to create, probably can be done with a keyboard macro scipt, since all they do is click enter mission and just press c-space and skills 1-8.

Personally witnessed one of these bots, from the same guild as earlier mentioned in this thread, justthis morning. /reported the bot and instructed team to do same.
Very easy to recognize this particular script -- it spams heal signet before the fight starts. It also C-spaces constantly and cycles Riposte, etc.

Yeah, just stand in a circle around the bot and he will go from person to person hitting each once and moving on. Or just have two of you stand there equadistance apart and it looks like he's playing "hotbox" on the base path. I've gotten a bot half a dozen times.

Thats the name of two bots Ive seen, reported both, prolly both run by the same guy though.
Durning the bonus weekend the first name there acctully made it to TA, then he was stuck.

i find it amazing how anet is doing nothing
i sent a support ticket, all i was getting was cut and paste responses and the typical "we wont tell you the fate of the bot due to our privacy policy"
so i reply back "well i dont need to know, i've added all these bots from the same guild to my friends list and they are all online botting as i type"
gaile doesnt reply to her PM's here
in-game report system is a hoax, i basically have been reporting the same bots for 2 months now, just nothing ever comes of it.
well i guess theres nothing left to do apart from slander how bad anet is at catching bots.

I have passed this along to Support, and if they are able to find a means to discern the bots from the players, I'm sure they'll be handing out some "time outs" soon.
Thanks for the info.

I've seen quite a few bots as well. Reported 'em too, many times. Posted their names in this topic, but the names were deleted. Unlike the names posted in this thread.
What bothers me most, in regardless of what Gaile said, I've been seeing the same bots from the VVAR guild several times, and had many people report the same bots, but they still lurk around - for weeks. Just please ban those people? I'm sure they know the risk.

Heck, sadly because of a way I found to randomize it a bit I could probably make a bot thats actually a fairly average player ( As far as RA standards go )
I had a W/E shock bot on my team once that was actually not bad. Suicidal, but not bad.

I want full teams of bots for RA, so I can leech off of them with no fear of a report >.>
That could easily have been me, I throw caution to the winds when running Shock Axe :P

The guild VVAR has alot of these botters in ra. The last 10 W/N bots i've seen were all from these guild; different names.

RA is for the birds. I stopped RAing so much because Dishonorable Combatant System (Automated) = FTL! Skill balances = /phailure. Nowadays, it's also flooded with either Grievers or legitimately poor-quality competitors. And to hear that RA is the new gold-farming field is simply redonkulous! o_o To top it all off (like a cherry on a sundae) anet won't change a darn thing.
Have a nice day. ^^

If you're having these "Uncontrollable Poo"s enough that you're getting the dishonor points, I suggest Kaopectate II.

Listen to the above poster that Kaopectate stuff really works /offtopic
Tbh PVP in guildwars is dying this is just another example. I just hope that ANET makes PVP skills a completely separate entity to PVE in GW2, and gets rid of the Z chest and replaces it with some sort of reward that is tied to your account cos then ra bots will be uber pointless.

I just tried entering ra 5 times, and had at least 1 bot on my team every single time >.<
Different to the bot build the OP posted, though. These ones are warrior with no secondary, but instead of spamming stances they have
Charge
Power Attack
Cyclone Axe
Frenzy
Heal Sig
They charge directly into the nearest enemy of course, spamming frenzy on recharge, and then generally spend the rest of the match just using frenzy and healsig together on recharge. If you, as a monk, keep them above 50% health for a bit they'll spam frenzy and power attack instead, until they go back below 50% and spam heal sig.
Very annoying. The odd bot here or there one can ignore, but this is a plague of the damn things!

If only it were that easy though.
Shadow Demon XxX or some such is anew one I saw Sunday while practicing Paragoning refrain upkeeps.
Sir Pandra Pierva
oddly enough the only reason these bots even work is because most players are total idiots in RA......mayby the bots can fix that. Hmmm if they do that we should send em to ab next.
no what needs to be fixed pronto is the gold wisper spammers that is getting really really really out of RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing hand.
seriously i may just have made all their friends lists or something but i stand in a mission and get like 10 of those a minuet some days...i may take a screen shot.

I have one of the bots on my team the other day. We still ran off 5+ win streak, but the bot was by far the weak link.
This particular bot was a W/N. In addition to the Riposte/D. Riposte/Glad Defense spam, it also kept using Plague Touch. Pretty obvious botting when Plague Touch is spammed every 8 or 9 seconds, regardless of what conditions.
Nobody would complain if the bots were any good, but these ones are terrible. Plus they love to go after pets/minions.

What happened to the old Dervish/Ele bot? That guy was better than most of the shitters I got back when I played in RA. These new tank bots sound simply awful.

I got a screenshot of [VVAR] having 2 bots on the same team, i thought that was pretty funny.
PS:
These [VVAR] bots still havn't been dealt with yet, why are ANet so slow on this one?

After playing RA for about 4 hours today, I finally ran into one of these VVAR bots. Was pretty bad. Didn't move unless somebody got in aggro range. Reported him.
Definately agree it's a bot.

Bots in RA are just like Henchmen in PvE.

The [Vvar] bots are rampant in the American districts, 4 games in a row the same bot joined. Nobody reported it, so I guess it will become the new RA meta. Not that I care as it wasn't on my team so easy wins for me.

Besides, the topic still hasn't been addressed. VVAR bots are still rampent.

my support ticket is like 16 replies long now, i finally managed to get anet to recognize my problem, they claim the devs know about it, and rest assured they will address it, but they dont know when that will happen, they told me to check gameupdates periodically.
in the mean time, the VVAR bots are still around, and dig this, they are gladiator lvl 2!!!!!.

i kid you not!!!, thats how long they have been botting..

Gotten one of these VVAR warrior bots myself while i was fooling around in RA. The fool picked up the flag and started spamming riposte and healsig and when the match started, he c-spaced into the nearest foe and for the whole match did nothing but c-space while holding flag to foes, all the while still spamming riposte and healsig.
Obviously the botting script fails on holding a flag. It was really a face-to-palm thing to watch. My team simply reported him and left together. Didn't think RA could sink any lower but this takes the cake.
