GW2 Bot Crisis

And article talking about all the bots running rampart in GW2 as well as other short coming. 

I actually happen to agree with this article 100% I think/hope more articles like this start showing up online so that maybe A.Net will start putting things into gear. 

Keep the stereotype alive! journalism at its finest.

Myself I have seen a lot less botters, then compared to weeks ago.
Also the guild name they bring up is pretty bad. But to be honest in my 6 years of playing WoW, I saw A LOT of off the wall gw2 gold player names and guild names that lasted for weeks or never got changed or banned. I can remember an alliance pally named hordsuxc** or something like that, sorry it was years ago. He lasted for weeks even made it to end game before he vanished off my friends list.

One of the more famous guild names I saw and it depended on server if it was banned or not was "sapped girls can't say no". A lot of people thought this was hilarious, it made me sick. So few people took the time to really think about what it means. 

^Agree with this^... their *ahem* Marketing Department which oversees ALL Community Relations & feedback channels  (instead of those departments being under Support & QualityAssurance where they belong) only seems to care about enforcement when it comes to people saying naughty things that hurt their PR and question their cashshop?   But you have to give them credit for the Tenacity and response time they've displayed the past couple months on those forums.  ...Many topics censored in less than an hour when we've seen botters still in-game a whole week after being reported.   It must also take a lot of manpower to read that many posts everyday  ...it reminds me of the hour-or-less response time we'd see in Kamadan, some people stood near the Botters/Spammers there just to watch Dhuum take them.  It really brought the community together IMO by having such a display of force so visible. Pity it doesn't instill the same level of confidence when it's only seen on the forums being done to people who may have had a point somewhere under their ravenous Venting.


Not that I'm favor of this Article either... if this is all it takes to be a "Writer", then I think most of us here could do the same or better.  Sensationalism isn't exactly a finely honed craft these days.
