trunks.5249 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 me and a team mate killed someone and they said we had bots in are team i thought she was just making up an excuse why she lost. that got me to thinking this is not the first time someone has said that on losing teams even when my team has lost someone has cried bot. i skipped last season but the season before that i never heard that. people just rage about other things. so i have to ask have bots entered pvp at some point for this to even be a thing to say? i almost said it after a loss because i have seen it in chat so many times just to see what its like but everytime i go to type it it just sounds childish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapasmurf.5623 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 There has been confirmed bots in PvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooglese.4860 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Cursedlfye or something like that is a well known bot. You can pretty much guarantee it goes far all game. Im not sure how many bots there are, but there's at least one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NICENIKESHOE.7128 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I've actually faced the same person before and he is basically having similar pattern :/ https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/17562/bots-in-pvp-clip-inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyTouchy.6043 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 About a week ago, a friend of mine duo'd with me in ranked and we somehow ended up going against a team that had 4 bots on it. FOUR BOTS. They all ran together in the same exact line. My buddy somehow figured out how to trip a glitch on them by running around a fence. He owned home point while 3 of them just followed him as he ran in a right circle and they wouldn't attack. What's even more surprising (and suspicious) is that the bots weren't in a party together.

Kerivek.5740 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The worst part is when the enemy Scourge bots are more effective than the actual scourge players you get on your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimsley.3681 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yes there is an infamous bot already but we aren’t allowed to “shame” it on the forum (but how can one shame something with no feelings?) It’s somewhat efficient because it plays a lower skill floor yet very effective entry level-ish spec. Aside from bots, I’ve seen speed hacks and teleport hacks but just don’t bother reporting because nothing will be done anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenblade.6039 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I guess yes, there are some bots. In past, it was a big problem in WoW PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because up until now, they've allowed bots to run rampant for so long despite overwhelming evidence from numerous topics containing video footage and screenshots. Then all of a sudden, someone initiates a ban that somehow manages to discriminate botted accounts with no basis or evidence? If it's that easy to do, then why not perform this housekeeping for PvP/WvW more often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlayMaker.1058 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Why are you guys still complaining? A large chunk of bots have been eradicated from the game (though we probably haven't seen the last of them). Anet has repeatedly said that they issue bans in waves, not instantaneously (except in a few rarer circumstances). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he will obviously not answer that question lol If he told that to everyone then the same people using bots will just adjust their algorithm to avoid those search methods.

Ziggityzog.7389 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Need to know if they are perm bans on the accounts or just a slap wirsts moment like when the trolls who match manipulate just got a laugh off "ban" after ruining seasons worth of pvp for thousands. If it's a slight wrist slap ban then nothing will change and they will be back like the match manipulation trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like something a _bot user_ would say to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, technically it bans the account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
