So you have to wonder what your "innocent" guildies were doing with their two accounts... maybe there's more to it, that they don't want to admit to eg. run bot on secondary account, use GWx2 to transfer loot from bot to main account (thinking that only the bot account could be banned).
If I get banned myself at some point in the future - THEN I will believe that GWx2 is to blame.

Please highlight where this is stated.

Still, I wonder if Dhuum will be in GW2 and how he can have a scythe if apparently the very notion doesnt exist in the game, to my disappointment.

But make no mistake. A ban is the applied sentence, not the trial.

There are likely people on the TK who use Texmod and people who have made mods with it. Ban the Test Krewe before they can buff dervish!
I don't know how other MMO's deal with this. People wanted action and wanted it now. I don't PvP so after a couple hours of posting this, I won't care.

Will this happen in the future to those banned while playing?
Because why waste this amazing way to ban people.

Well hopefully it will get sorted. But its not the end of the world since I have another account and other than useful titles like eotn etc I could care less about in game achievements or tons of gold/fancy armor. I mainly enjoy the SC's so w/e.

I do have mixed feeling about this because if they really did find an accurate way to detect botting and went to the trouble of banning all those accounts then it's probably a good thing for the game but the mere fact that my main got banned (and I know I wasn't botting) leads me to think they chose some method less than accurate.

I hope that I will be able to get my main account back and more importantly get a reason for why it was originally banned.

I know people don't seem to have much faith in the system, however, if you keep your cool, and deal with them, they will fix it. With this mass ban, I would guess their system is going to get a bit overwhelmed, so it could take some time, but continuing this here is not going to do anything to get your account back.

done and done. and yep, enough qq from me.

Even though I think this an awesome way of handling the bot situation, does't having Dhuum suddenly appear and kill a bot mess with GW lore on a number of levels? Wouldn't it have made more sense to have Balthazar or Grenth or one of the other GW gods who is NOT locked up and asleep in the UW to handle them? Might have been fun to have different gods come and destroy bots depending on their profession...
LoKi Foxfire
Good job A-net. +1 for doing something creative with this....
Jade Zephyr
Epic on so many levels..!
I, unfortunately, missed the Dhuum's doing their thing but that video is just amazing.
Bots have been destroying the game for a while and I am very glad that they are gone.
