 * District:American, English, District 1
 * Observation:Several groups of identical characters, numbered names, dancing


 * Many of these are just different accounts within the same Guild/organisation, and some players like to set up a "line dance" with them. I don't think it reflects any botting under the terms of "trying to gain an unfair advantage".

There is a constant flow, at least 5-10 in town at any given time.  Runs seem to vary between a few seconds to several minutes.  Have noticed this pattern for a couple days.

 * Map Name: Bergen Hot Springs
 * District: America English District 1
 * Observation: I hate to sound like a broken record, but there are still lots of bots there. The first one I saw when I logged on today was in fact one that I saw the day of my original report, and one that I know I have /reported at least once, possibly multiple times.  There have been several of them over the last few days that I see ever time I check there, running the same path for hours on end.  Since I have been reporting them in groups of ten or more, I assume the reports are getting ignored as being spam themselves, as many of the bots continue to run after several days of reporting.  Could someone please deal with these bots, its quite frustrating.

 * Map Name: Bergen Hot Springs
 * District: American english district 1
 * Observation: It seems to be never ending the streams of of monk bot programs being ran out of this town, if maybe u could put a town post directelly outside bergen so would take a real person to manvuver the terrain. other then that maybe i fundamental change must be done to the monk class itself to stop the monk bots from being made in first place. if maybe could make protective spirit different make only block one attack only taking 10% damage from spell or attack. I know most ppl would not agree with these measures but something must be done . AT the moment i can only turn a blind eye to the bots like it seems this report site does. I say this after reporting here many times only to see same bot name and likeness next day :( I have already noticed the drop rate for areas around where bots are have not been very good not many gold, money or collectable items. I work hard for what items i get and makes me sad to see so many bot allowed about thank you for your time

Bergen Hot Springs and botting


 * Date: Many different days
 * Time and timezone: Same as above
 * Map Name: Bergen Hot Springs
 * District: Every one I have been in, usually American English 1
 * Observation: Apparent Monk botting (see below)

I have also seen many different days, and many different times of day, Monk/Any characters with no party, and apparently no heros or any hangers on appearing in town, and then directly running for the exit. It doesn't seem that much is being done, or else, the new bots are overflowing how many are getting cleared out. This town alone almost seems to need a permanent GM monitoring around the clock. The problem is, many of them may be legitimate players, and doing this, but how can another player tell, and report the bots without being banned for "abuse" of the report feature by unintentionally reporting legitimate players?

Also, another question/concern. How are we supposed to report account scammers using the report feature? They spam their message quick (usually twice or three times in a row) then split to another town or district. Taking a screen shot and taking the time right then and there is a huge amount of time spent on this problem, and now, to add to the issue, for some reason, my computer will not let me take screen shots. It shuts down GW with a Windows error message "Disk Full". (I know why it is doing this, but I cannot take screen shots.) The problem is being able to type quick enough to *catch* these spammers and scammers before they leave town.

 * WHEN is Bergen Hot Springs going to rise to the level of attention that Keg Farming, Hero Fast Faction Farming, and others received to give it the nerf it deserves? You see the list of repeat problems, and nothing is done.  Yet Scout the Coast/ AXED.  Vaettir Farm/ AXED.  Emblem farming?  Who actually does this over and over and over again when it's not near Halloween? No one, except a computer program designed to exploit this area of Guild Wars. Let's not forget to mention that emblems always drop and always have a set value.  They drop over and over and over again.  Farming an area over and over again causes progressively less incentive to do so because the drops become fewer and of lower quality. But it's not about any other drops save emblems. 67.166.140.31 21:43, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Observation: Anet's failure to enforce its rules against bot use. (/report is pointless) same offender(s) time after time.  Luxon guard post next to yellow shrine still don't attack passing jugganuts.  Why even work on Gw2? Why bother with Gw2? Why even try.

Another bot or macro to enter mission upon dishonor hex expired, and NEVER MOVES... name: My Team Is Horrible ... class: ele/derv ... reported that one for MANY times. excuse my language, but here it is ANET did nothing besides dishonor hex ... not a freaking thing .. so much for warning of breaching EULA. It is rather encourage other players to follow the same path, since /report did nothing to a bot.

 * Time and timezone: All day
 * Map Name: JQ Kurzick map
 * District: American
 * Observation: Numerous bots running around in the PvP. They all have roleplay like names, and each professions uses the basic same build. Easy to detect because they will follow you until you die. Because there were so many and they seemed massly created, I felt this is how the gold for cash companies might be making some of their money.


 * Date: April 26th 2010
 * Time and timezone: Throughout the day (Euro hours)
 * Map Name: Jade Quarry. Playing from Kurzick side, but these are Luxon bots.
 * District: N/A; all of these are from matches.
 * Observation: This is getting to be fairly ridiculous, to be honest; I've been in several matches today where almost half the Luxon team consisted of bots. They're easy to recognize because they'll follow you until they or you die, they use skills in completely the wrong order (Gash before Sever Artery, for instance) or because they'll be unleashing all of their firepower onto a hapless spirit that they happen to aggro first (saw an ele bot Meteor Shower a ranger spirit, for instance). Some sample names, though really, just go into a match and take your pick: Mosad Inarad, Nohdren Taana, Kell Undech, Peryd Lal, Femor Yover and Cerimund Quatia. I reported them all, but it honestly doesn't feel like it's helping much. --fraught · (talk) 17:34, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

suggestion
I have a suggestion about bot why don't you, whoever in charge, create a page/site where player can report a bot, and you DO something about it. Instead of this fucking useless listing with NO result. I have enough of this ... I have listed many incidents yet same bots/leechers are doing same thing on daily basis, who are clearly violating EULA according to your rules of conduct

First of all, you need to visit a few websites. http://code.google.com/p/gwca/downloads/list http://www.elitepvpers.de/forum/gw-exploits-hacks-bots-tools-macros/456508-new-rata-sum-raptor-bot-kknb.html Those people can do up to 300k a day just by starting the bot and let the computer run. I'm spending my day /reporting every non-answering people in Rata Sum. Why do you care about drunkard bot whereas there are farming bots ? There's pretty much drama about "zomg you gonna get banned if you do your drunkard title with a bot" In PvP, you can't do anything against bot. Some people even have 8 interupts in their bar to rule the monks. I know some people botting, they got reported many times but their account is not banned. Especially, try to block GWCA or something because everybody downloads that. Thanks :)

It seems like the quest 「the Halcyon Job」 been used for the farming purpose, with the help of more Kurzick faction than Luxon factions, it possible to suicide and resurrect at the north resurrection Shrine and farm those quest mobs(many groups of Luxon Assassin)

 * Observation: The bot problem in HA is now simply ridiculous, you've made a noise about how the drunk botting is a problem for Anet, but don't actually seem to be working to stop bots who are influencing gameplay of others. Just played a team in Fetid River and a player with tag [TroO] was clearly a bot. 150.203.239.183 02:07, 2 May 2010


 * And because nothing ever gets done even when reported, just had yet another match against Troo, where there were bots in fetid river.(UTC)

I also so many other Mo/Me bots with character names: Bvfg Bgfhgf, Xfdefg Vdf, Csdffd Vgf, Hfxu Hug and Stand On (this one is also a bot. It was guildless, walked the same path, wore the same armor as all the other bots) 60.234.161.141 06:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Also people using GWCA for checking the enemy's target by using a mini enemy party window. I also noticed lots of weapon change bots and this is not even the half of the cheats people use in pvp especially at the time of MAT.
 * Also, We Need Help To Win [GWCA]. They are on GW.com and were top 20 in the mAT. There are HA bots daily. I haven't seen a full team in HA in a while that didn't have a bot. 208.53.138.21 16:37, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

sorry to tell you, above posts, those bots are run by arena net. I don't have any other explanation. I mean reports after reports until got suspended. No results

so that prove they cant detect them. but what was worse they closed my petition and said its final and ignored me. Thats how NCsoft threads there players and there is nothing you can do about it. But its very impressive how they could make a loyal guildwars fan into one that hates it with a passion now. Btw if someone has a bot for me let it know me i want me other accounts banned too. No way i going to play a game where you can be banned while you done nothing. They stole 5000 hours and a full account with +30 char slots. I personaly think they worse then the botters and goldsellers. And they doing a good job destroying the game --80.101.190.165 16:48, 21 May 2010 (UTC) 80.101.190.165 16:48, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

But it's not like you even care about bots anymore. Unless they are drunkard bots. Which are clearly a huge threat to the game.

I still have matches where around half the enemy Luxon team consists of bot (anywhere from 2 to 5 bots per match) and it's seriously taking the fun out of this map (I've mentioned this before back in April; see above). I don't want to play against bad AI with bad builds. Luxons don't want to play WITH bad AI with bad builds because they rarely contribute something useful to the match.

I don't report them more than once in/out of a single game, however. I've also sent a report stub to ANet with this subject. Does ANet not care about the quality of this game, or are they actually in possession of/defensive of these bots?

 * Map Name: Fort Aspenwood Kurzick Side
 * District: AD1
 * Observation:

I am only posting this here because I have reported these bots many times to support and each time they keep telling me they couldn't find a violation. Support told me to use /report leeching but most of the time no one bothers to report them.

Over the past week I have observed a couple of FA bots run by 2 or 3 seperate accounts. I presume they use the same program because they behave similarly.

Account 1:

Le Guerrier Goku

Iyssa Attack       -ranger bot with barbed trap and apply poison

Alt Plus F Quatre  -ele bot with glyph of lesser energy and feigned neutrality

Account 2: (known long time botting account)

Jl I               -ritualist

Stock Numero Six   -ele bot with glyph of lesser energy and aura of restoration

Ultima Moine       -monk bot

Account 3:

B L A S T A R S    -ele bot with glyph of lesser energy and aura of restoration

Titi Heal you      -monk bot with glyph of lesser energy and armor of earth

Kasseuse Farmeuse  -ele bot with glyph of lesser energy and aura of restoration

 * Time and timezone: All day
 * Map Name: The Jade Quarry Kurzick Side
 * District: America - English
 * Observation: Botters named "Crusty Mantle", "Dirt In Your Eyes" and "Chucksy Stones" from guild ACID will run around and cast random spells on self or enemies. They are all Earth Elementalists. Botters does not responds to team chat when accused of botting. Botters never responds to whispers when accused of botting through PM(there is nobody controlling the character, he moves around by an automated program that uses "Target Ally Closest" key, "Target Foe Closest" key, "Spacebar" key to follow Ally/Foe, and 1-8 Skill buttons. Botters will occasionally get stuck and stop acting if not in range of any ally or foes.

another botter in JQ

 * Date: 12 December 2010
 * Time and timezone: GMT around 3am
 * Map Name: Jade Quarry Kurzick Side
 * District: America
 * Observation: Warrior named "Was Daa". Played 3 times in a row with him. He runs and attacks the nearest ennemy (if he attacks an ennemy close to death and another ennemy comes closer he will change target). He always uses the same combination of skills. If he is healed and no other ennemy comes closer he can attack the same NPC for more than 5min (it's really pitty). When he respawns after dying he always runs toward yellow quarry then attacks the nearest ennemy. Of course he never responds when accused of botting on team chat and he appears offline. /Reported him all the 3 times and tried to tell others to do the same thing. I really hope he gets banned.

Mo-Me: Reoo Xcee Mo-Me: Aawb Xxu Mo-Me: Der Tn Mo-Me: Deet Cc Mo-Me: Wwxa Mko All follow same path to corner by mound, spin around, then exit to Nebo Terrace. Probably farming feathers.

 * Map Name: Jade Quarry (Luxon)
 * District: America - English - 1
 * Observation: I've seen these bots hundreds of times and some of them are pretty known among this whole "bot community". Everyone is getting really tired of losing in JQ because of them. If anyone of you GMs out there could do something about it we'd be very grateful.Their names: Jack O Riddel ( very known ), Patrick Ojack ( also known )and Lori Sinful. These are the only ones I added in my friend's list so that I could monitorize them better and send them messages throughout the days to make sure they're bots. And yes, they are, none of them ever answered. In game behaviour? Always, but ALWAYS heading to the right guard post immediately as they're teleported to the yellow quarry, moving using the closest target feature ( space ) and follow ally target, not responding to any PMs or team questions, they don't have a guild tag and neither a title, they enter the game ( Enter Battle ) as soon as they are returned to the outpost ( JQ ) from the previous battle, they never move throughout the outpost.I once had 5 bots in my team. Did we lose? Of course, we all non-bots knew that we were going to lose, there was no doubt about that. But how do you think we were feeling after consecutive loses and with them, time wasting matches, only and only because of those bots that are simply allowed to exist in the game. No one does anything. I'm not sure if anyone will even read this post ( I'm talking about GMs and people that can do something about this major problem). Maybe you should take a break from making a wonderful world in gw2 for bots more than for real players and start solving this problem so that the bots won't exist in gw2 ( although bots will always exist as long as there are smart guys out there to crack up gw's bot defense thingy...). So yeah... Do something. This should be a big enough alarm for you guys.

identfying bots
General Question, and seems to be the smart place to put this, How do you tell if a person IS botting without reporting a real person. obviously if they don't say anything that helps. but what are the other signs? Ocren 14:59, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
 * They're usually running some script that performs simple actions. They usually follow allies around, not doing anything else. Sometimes they cast spirits INSIDE the base. Always the same spirits on recharge. BTW, one of the most egregious offenders is some guy with an asian language name (Can't tell if Korean, Japanese or Chinese). How can we report those, if traditionally our keyboards can't write those names? --[[Image:User Large sig.png|talk]] Large 15:05, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

look at your flist, under recent party members. target the name and click PM. highlight and ctrl-shift-c, then paste. report via support@guildwars.com, ingame report doesnt do jack.Stormcrowx 12:40, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

 * sadly you either don't even read this page or haven't been to JQ. Before talking like a retard, go do some JQ mission AND THEN observe some weird acting players ... see HOW/WHEN/WHERE they cast/use their skills. It is very obvious to see that they cast/use incorrect skills at inappropriate times/places(NOT just once).
 * I did read the page Unknown person. everytime I am in JQ I see nothing or just players who are bored as hell doing nothing. besides I'm not paying attention to the players because I'm dealing with the cap of things and killing people Ocren 00:57, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Anyone who is "doing nothing" in PvP is leeching, which is just as offensive as botting; it is an unfair way of gaining in-game benefits.
 * If you don't see any bots in game, then... good for you, you lucky fellow! I wouldn't call that sad, myself.
 * If you are not paying attention to other players, why do you bother asking about how to identify bots? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 169.231.253.50 (talk &bull; contribs) at 23:46, 6 June 2011 (UTC).

JQ Bots (Kurzick)

 * Date: Everyday
 * Time and timezone: 9pm and onwards (-5 GMT)
 * Map Name: Jade Quarry Kurzick
 * District: Europe English
 * Observation: There is one particular bot guild [love] that will enter numerous bots at the same time into one game. It is VERY frustating and VERY unfair that 4 real players, along with 4 mindless bots will get into one game facing a team with 8 real players. The four bots that will enter will all come from the same guild. They will usually stand and leech for the first minute or two, and then go into the portals, get killed, and respawn. It is very frustrating to wait about 15 minutes to get into one game of JQ, and have it ruined by 4 bots that all come from the same guild. The easiest solution? Ban the whole guild. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.234.166.131 (talk &bull; contribs) at 02:27, 3 April 2011  (UTC).

I second this. There are MANY bots on the kurz side, mostly mo/me with names like Zxydfgd Xghj. they just stand there if you aoe them and spam wastrel nonstop. they also use healing breeze at full health. i can even supply the screenshots if needed.

Stormcrowx 12:26, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This page is just for a joke. Any player that has half the brain know that 90% of kurzick JQ team are made up of bots. Unless zaishen combat is for JQ, then it has some real players.
