A Treatise on how to stop Botting in JQ and/or FA
Rife
Ok so maybe not a treatise just an idea. Why not a feature that requires typing in a word. Like when you create email accounts. Every time you try to enter a match you need to retype a word that appears on the screen. The botting is getting really bad.

Bah!
Fair idea however... not sure it was ever a proplemo

No. It'd only start a cat and mouse game between ANet and botters. For other websites, there's bots which can extract the picture of one of those, submit it to a certain website like Decaptcher, and it sends back the word that's contained in the picture, which the bot then inputs. I'm fairly certain something like that could be adapted for GW...
Rife
Well something like that. Maybe a simple question like what is 2+2. Anything, there has to be something that can be done that would be simple for a human but impossible for a bot. It's really bad. Over half of the people are bots in my experience. My strategy consists of helping the bots now. If you get to the yellow shrine first you usually win.

if bots can move, they can press a couple letters to make a word.
While bots is an issue that needs fixing, this is not really going to help.

Yes they can type words, but only repetitively. If the question changes they would not be able to adapt. Are we not smart enough to think of a device that humans can do that bots can not? If you don't like my idea please suggest your own. I'm trying to open up a discussion. I think the bots are so good, most people don't even notice.

Introduce random events a la runescape imo.
Yes, it's a crappy game and this and that (Even tough it ouclasses GW on pretty much every aspect BUT graphics, and I play both games, so I can tell from a neutral point of view) but Jagex (Runescape's Anet) maneged to destroy botting. There still is ALOT of botting going on, but remember, making in account in runescape is free, and doesn't take long at all to set-up a bot.
In Guild Wars, I doubt people will trying 1 more time after they got perm banned for botting.
Anyways, about these random events, it's a really basic array of minigames, which occure randomly every XX hours, and require some brain tought. E.G.: Kill the demon in the next room, and then a room filled with reg "people" enemies, and then a demon.
Bad example, but you get the point. Something a BOT SIMPLY CAN'T DO. Also, DON'T copy Jagex' idea to give shitty rewards, and actually make them worthwhile, so you don't iss off the regular community. (So many QQ threads about randoms on their forums it's not even funny, they simply ARN'T FUN to do time after time again, when there is no good reward)

about the whole botting part?
nerf JQ/FA, e.g introduce a new foe or something like that. maybe even something like you require 2 or more players to do JQ/JA as in pre-searings "across the wall" (although it screws up single players but hey, its GUILD wars after all)

just ignore my above post then

uh, theres a pretty simple way to ban the d*mn leeches/bots. Most of them leech for long segments of time. Ie "Remember Lots Wife" or "Jum Rock". These guys sit and leech/bot for hours. Just look for names that may not get enough reports during a round but who consistantly get reported every round and tada: every leech in the arena pops up. ban. kthnxsbai. It doesnt take much investigation to go ingame and observe ppl like Lot running his crappy bot script.

this all sounds like QQ to me. /shrug -Lena

This would be really gay. Anet could rather just stop wanking and ban these bots. There was this 'Oh Yo' bot in DA which reported for leeching and botting EVERY MATCH and he didnt get banned during the festival (2week duration, nice). And later he also showed up in FA...

leechers are just as bad if not worse. People who sit at there computer watch tv or do some type of work paying minimal attention to GW.
I wouldn't care if i clicked ENTER battle then had to type a word. Takes a whole 4 seconds?

Anet will never be able to get rid of bots all it takes is someone smarter then anet

Someone once suggested that we should compound the penalties if you try to enter PvP arenas when you're Dishonoured. I think this is the best idea.

have everyone report known botters in the match.....if ur afraid that u may be wrong, then u shouldn't be accusing someone. there is a /report leech for a reason. c'mon now...

captchas are bad irl
having to do them every single time you loaded into jq would be ridiculous
