Guild Wars: A ghost town in the making.

Mort, I've been playing GW since Prophecies went live. Not continuously, lots of other games along the way. Never botted or cheated in any online game because, seriously, if you want to cheat then offline games are a lot more fun to "mod."

Just a suggestion, but if you are looking for a new online game this would be a good time to look at EVE Online if you have never played it. The latest Tyrannis expansion is just released yesterday or today and you can get a free 14 day trial to check it out.

Fairly flawed analysis there. Bots exist because Guild Wars is dying? Sooo what about World of Warcraft? Bots are rampant there as well, and their subscriber numbers aren't going anywhere.

Bots exist because 1) People are lazy, or 2) "Pro" farmers looking to make quick money.

If you don't want to play because you don't want to risk running a bot, well don't let the door hit you on the way out mmkay?

I dunno if anyone else has pointed this out but it's hilariously wrong.

I agree that the game is dead, for all those who botted. I would would rather play a game with an honest low population, than one full of cheaters.

GW is declining slowly in population, however ive seen more active players over the last six months than in recent memory. Anet is simply trying to hold on to whatever base they can until GW2 rolls out.

It is what it is, an old game just trying to stay relevent.

Well, you cheated, you lost you're account forever, and now we all get to /point & /laugh (too bad you won't see it). Hopefully its a life lesson for you. And to all the community members that cheated KNOWING full well the consequences, your bans are doubly justified. Excellent work on the bans Anet

Y'know, about the ghost town bit... but bot users don't actually play the game - they just run the bot, and the bot is just exiting the area ASAP. They don't actually play...

You got owned, that simple.

Serves you right!

EPIC!
Rofl, this was an entertaining update indeed.

I used the bot for my healt problems... rofl... what was that, infuse bot?
Rofl, "I violated the agreement but I will sue you anyway"....
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

Oh my... I am really laughing in front of my PC.

Ty Some-1 for sharing this gem with us. If you find some others, we are here waiting

If this game is dead why we are on a dedicated forum and speak about that game? If you think is dead change game...

Oh my god! It is EPIC! Thanks for sharing i will post on guild forum

I never said GW is dead. In fact if you read my post i said it is more active now than it has been in quite some time. But anyone that claims it is anywhere near what it was in 05 is simple nutzzzz.

GW as a title has been around a long time. It doesnt have the luxury other games have like COD or the MoH series. the latter can simply pump out title after title with the same characters and new maps and keep it reletively fresh. GW is a much larger undertaking.

Having said that, i do not think GW is a "dead" game as soooo many claim. Its just a game that is a little long in the tooth and theyre trying to milk it for what they can. In light of the fact there will be no more new expansions, what else can they do??? they add a little content here and there and hope it keeps people playing and happy.

I still log lots of hours and still love the game.

That was beautiful

You botted, you got banned. Being bored of GW doesnt mean you can use it as an excuse to bot. It means go play WoW if u think thats much better anyway, instead of just botting and being bored, doing the same VQ and dungeon over and over again.

In short: pwnt by anet

Yes I know, that is pretty much what he said, which is so seriously retarded, that I think he should have himself checked, he might have serious/permanent brain damage.

Lol I know right

double lol.. im not trying to be a troll either. this is a funny thread

I for one feel that anet in making this apparent in one swoop makes it worthwhile

Just look at the posts its raised , all the whinning, omg I got banned ect,ect.

If they just did a few daily no impact would have been felt.

So keep it coming anet and weed out the guys who thought they were

untouchable

Phase 2 leave it a month and rinse and repeat

Still bots in JQ

lol

Meaning no disrespect to Orwell's Animal Farm... Guild Wars is dead, but some accounts are more dead than others.
