All in all, it's likely that less than 1000 people were actually affected from the looks of things.

That's just plain awesome.

It's probably even less than that, some part of those banned must have been gold seller bots.

I am truly disgusted by people claiming to have more than 6000 ecto's. RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOers you are the ones deserving this more than people just trying something and never use it again.

Ok I admit believing some of the stories of people claiming that they only did it out of curiosity rather than gain.

Not hard to lie and say you had things like "one of the last remaining Vizu". "1500a". anet used an account with 268(?)ecto on it. If they wanted to scare people I think they would have used something closer to these "1500a" ones

Why are they posting their ranks as if they have really earn it? Don't they know its idiotic to get those points not by themselves?

In no way am I saying it isn't possible, I know people have accumulated large amounts of ecto/armbraces. I'm just saying we can't believe all the people claiming they lost some many ecto/armbrace and more specifically high end minis.

Edit: If 5 people come out saying they each lost a Vizu, you know that only means people think the price should go up more. We have no idea what has actually been lost. (btw, Im not trying to stop mini prices from increasing, as my "ecto holders" would only increase.

On a side note, I'm very glad to hear that they got both the botting accounts AND the main accounts of said botters

My account looks like these - only I gained my riches by playing and trading, not botting. And now mine is ALL worth more. Thanks, guys.

I really think today should be a Tyrian Holiday. ANET, we need a new festival to celebrate this momentous occasion!

Anet should have confiscated all the mini's, ecto's and other items and hold a new weekend/day. Judgement Day: Dhuum returns for one day only [6hrs] and descends upon LA, showering gifts on some and pain on others.

Thirded. Dhuum's Day should involve a quest that earns you a Squeaky Ban Hammer.

Surprising to see so many cases where Anet got the botting accounts and seemingly managed to snare their non botting main/storage accounts as well.

Well played, Anet, well played.

Oh, and with regards to the now 'lost' rare mini pets and other similar treasures... don't let them rot on locked accounts, don't give them away via lotteries or other random competitions... use them for rewards in the automated tournaments, maybe even have a special tournament series in honor of Dhuum's labors... breathe some life back into the PvP side of the game and have Dhuum on hand to watch for botters and hand out prizes to the victors.

I'm pretty glad that all that ecto is out of the system to be honest, however, even though I am not a minipet collector, its a shame to see all the rare unded minis disappear.

I bet this was the major tactic they delayed mentioning (IP connections), I mean after the DUPE incident... DUPEs went so far into the community that they couldn't all be cleaned before far too many innocents were at risk.

This one guy in my brother's guild lost all 82 of his accounts. That is not an exaggeration. He had a buttload of max titles, many, many stacks of ectos, several rare minis. He even had obisidion armor + chaos gloves on his PvP chars in addition to his pve chars.

I love the people that say all their bot accounts were banned but then they're upset their main account (which they never botted on) was banned as well. They think that just because they didn't bot on one account means they should be able to keep all the spoils of their botting?

Chaos Gloves cost 120 Tournament Reward Points or 24 Gold Zaishen Coins each

This might help

Still, I call BS on some of these...

I did a Rata Su bot maybe once a week for 3 weeks, just to make enough money to easily afford lockpicks and consets without worrying about the cost.

It was fun while it lasted, being able to go on runs with absolutely no need to worry about money. I didn't need 1000 ectos, I only needed 50k so that I wouldn't go broke trying to support 10 different characters and their heroes with armors, runes, etc.

Oh well, four year old account with 10 level 20 PvE characters banned. I quit GW nearly two years ago and only came back when I saw the potentials of actually writing a botting script and making it work. I was enjoying the computer science aspect more than actually earning virtual money.

Didn't lose much, I'll just go back to doing what I did for the last two years. Have a good one, GWG.

I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed, but... I feel like a pyromaniac watching a HUUUUUUGE bonfire burning... I mean, I didn't know what to expect from the topic, and then I see the stuff... and I find myself in glee...

Kinda ashamed, I'm not supposed to be a person like that, after all, much of that HAD to be achieved legitimately, but really...

Mmm, probably made about 300k total anyways, was enough to pay for cons and lockpicks for numerous amounts of FoW/UW/Urgoz/DoA/HM dungeon runs.

But yeah, I guess I also challenged myself to see if it was possible to run a script like that. It always used to be witchcraft to me when I was younger, but now that I'm actually a major in Computer Engineering, it was fascinating that I had the capability to write something like this.

I had no ill intentions, but it doesn't really matter anyways. I'm actually kind of glad the people who horded hundreds of ectos were purged from the system. I was kind of sick of seeing weapons with nice skins go for over 200-300 ectos, maybe that will change now.

you guys act like 3700 is a huge number... that's probably less than 1% of the population.

edit: this thread is just a way for people to try and start a "speculating" scare and make the market go up on w/e minis they are trying to sell. This thread should be deleted.

Less botters is a GOOD thing!
