Looking at that site with bots i think it's even dangerous to be in the same district with bots. For example that EDITED :lets just call it some chest running bot . Person who isn't using bot and running repeatedly those chests for lucky points might be reported for botting and perma banned.
Hell atm i can't think out any reason why would anyone refuse to buy another gw account and load a bot. This might be the reason why they aren't doing anything about it.
Keeping the thread alive.

Stop complaining about the bots. Bots are not a bad thing, bots are a byproduct of a bad thing.
Repetitive, linear gameplay, that rewards time over skill = bad.
Bots are the cure.
(Note: there are some exceptions, but none in PvE)

If you don't like repetitive linear gameplay, then don't play the games with repetitive linear gameplay.
Bots are degenerate. They serve no beneficial purpose to the health of a game. You can already see the damage done by the parasites that use them. Just try to play Jade Quarry. You can't get a game without at least one useless bot.
Bots and those who use them should be eradicated like the infestation they are.

Current "falken botting" is not driven by grind either. Just by profit.
You might have point about drink bots and such, but not about current botting scene, not by far.

But there is another side to it, that is as time goes by people tend to automate things. So it is normal that people (that can) write code to automate what they "bot-by-hand" to bot by software automatically instead.
In reality if someone would take the time they could write a software bot that emulates the human behavior so its undetectable, making it fail sometimes on purpose like humans do, or take random breaks or walk randomly... anything we do in GW can be done automatically in a software, not very complex one either
I know a lot of people here have this impression that GW is skillful play, but that's not so true, all GW play can be automated and done better by machines
which in my opinion is the exact opposite of skill.

EDIT: Oh, and it looks like Gaile went down her talk page and answered a bunch of questions. Guess which one she skipped over? Yep, our little botting question was ignored as if it were that chick with the headgear who sits in the corner at prom.
Classy move.

ANET, just make it all for free at this point. Put in a Santa Claus NPC, type in what you want and HO F&@$ing HO Santa awards it to you. Everyone can fill up their HOM and get whatever the hell you want. No need to bot anymore since the motive will be removed. Why bot when you can it for free.
If you do not want to use Santa then don't. This is beyond crazy at this point.

Well, strictly speaking, if he wrote the software then it is not third-party software and therefore his account is not bannable for using third-party software.
But most botters will likely just abuse something other people created.

Anet doesn't care. Hell, half of the bot-script writers I know have never been banned....ever. Not once.
Firebaall
Sounds like a resounding "approval" to bot.
No comments from Anet staff. Lots of extra accounts around, no longer being used for XTH. Sounds like a recipe for a bot bumper crop.
From what I read on that bot site, the enabler in this whole fiasco is the .dll injection of the graphics.dll file that is permitted for "legal" user mods. It might be time to brush off some of those extra accounts, and put them to "work".
Get off your hands Anet. Silence speaks volumes.

This thread has taken a turn for the utterly hilarious, keep em coming

maybe this thread needs to be moved over to guildwars2guru for any hope for a response from Anet. lots of interesting info here though. i did a search on Ebay and found a person selling stacks of ecto, starting bid $30 and buy it now @ $40. the person is in sweden. probably all bot farmed. heck theres even a person selling a ghostly hero for $600

It that sold for less than $10,000, Kanaxai will not sell for anywhere close to that much. I doubt Kanaxai would sell for more than a couple hundred US.
lemming
Kanaxai's ingame value is at least $5000 in ectos. Why would it go for a couple hundred USD?
Martin Alvito
It's pretty well established at this point that a clean Kanaxai is +/- $5,000 USD. I'd believe reports that the price has increased. I don't follow RMT pricing closely.
Limited supply and cachet make some people do things that look pretty silly to most people. There are a number of people in major U.S. cities that drop thousands of dollars on a single outfit of clothing. Yet that clothing is made from the same fabrics you and I wear at a fraction of the price.

With botters running amok, ectos are being sold for RL money more often. Other items are also being sold for RL money, such as the new minis that botters have been farming for and similar items.
This will only get worse without some sort of action.

I stopped playing for an extended period of time and this kind of thing is common in every other mmo that I played which was pretty sick after being use to playing GWs, early on they did a great job of keeping the cheats out of the game {reporting a player for a gate glitch that we didn't know what happened until watching on obs mode then finding out that him and everyone in that GvG against us was banned the next day always made GWs seem above other games} but coming back to see bots gone wild in GWs was disapointing to say the least.
One can only hope that GW2 will be more in line with how GWs was ran originally but they cheats are always going to be trying reguardless of what they do.
