Bots galore (would love actual feedback from anet on their action items for this)

[Septhiroth.9758]

I've played this game since its release and have spent lots of money on it in support of it. I spend 99% of my time in Spvp because it is simply my favorite, but now its just riddled with bots, you cannot play 1 match without have 2 or 3+ bots in it. Seriously played one match where I was the only human, I sat back and watched all the bots play, they have the same pathing so they just ran on top of each other, dont go to map objectives like traq, hammer, cannon, and other mannerisms they are stupid obvious. I report them every match and I ask the map to do so as well. These bots are getting mass reported how is nothing being done about them. It is demoralizing for me and disgraceful on your part. This is not a witch hunt, nor a boy crying wolf, but a serious problem. I can no longer enjoy the game due to this. I understand the difficulty in developing code to catch them, but at least do something about the reports.

 

Just a suggestion on how to catch them in pvp at least:

look for a legit bot, allow the bot to continue but monitor it, develop a heat map of its pathing, ban those who follow the mapping to a T, obviously this changes when they are in combat, but when they are running between nodes out of combat they literally run on top of each other. Not a game wide solution, but at least since there is not a large map selection in pvp something can be done about them there.

Would even love to have a contact in support that I can report these to if you would rather do that for the short term, as its obvious the player reports just go into the trash. I play this game all the time at all times of the day, just a dedicated person reporting them is enough to at least make a large dent into the botting situation, and turn the game around for lots of players.

there is other more simple, just make a list of all players and the number of matches played for season, put under direct inspection the ones on top numbers, a real human player cant play steady 24/7 during an entire season, if they arent bots other shaddy things hapen in those acounts like acount sharing etc

I'm probably the only one who enjoys playing with bots. They make me laugh, three running to the same point, and if you jump on top of a structure, they leave the point, but if you come back down, the three all come back...

 

IT'S AMUSING! :s
