Balance patch VS Ban Wave

Which one would you like right now? I think a strong position from anet, announcing they're banning all those bots, hackers and afkers would cheer me up much more than any balance patch.

Bala bc, when u get banned just create a new ftp acc ...
those bots are farming gold, which means they're useless as free accounts
I mean more or less the hackers... bots I can play around if I have those in my match ... but hackers in AT r a diffrent story
At least bots keep the queue times relatively low.
I don't want my queues, which usually are below five minutes, suddenly take over ten minutes.
Unless the balance patch was to undo most-everything since Feb 25th. "Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!"

Nerfs should be reserved for extreme cases and only done in creative ways that make the game more interesting to play and watch.

U can transfer gold via black lion. Idk if its legal to write the way here.
The amount of work to do that is abysmal. You gotta post it and the othet person has to buy it instantly.
Unless you selling it cheaper i don't see ppl willing to do that, transfering 100 gold would take hours
bots can do it faster
Soon™ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) nom nom nom🥔
Fun Daredevil
U can transfer unlimited amount of gold in less than 5minutes.
Simple answer for me:
We know when the next balance patch will be latest: with EoD and introduction of new elites specializations. I can wait that long especially given the hype we might get IF new elites get previewed. So while I would love to have seen 1-2 balance patches in the meantime, I can live without.
Bots and hackers on the other hand grow bolder and when unchecked spread further and further. Besides it looking bad to new players and making the game look bad overall, it negatively affects players in game modes (especially hackers). Have Arenanet do a massive ban wave, if only to increase revenue and force these players to repurchase new accounts, then ban those new accounts as well and just keep making money off of game purchases.
Other: Make the game itself more resilient to botting, hacking and trolling. Otherwise they just come back with new accounts and new IP addresses.
Also, the earlier ban waves also hit some innocent players, so this is always something to be careful with.

With these small adjustments, and the removal of the hackers, bots and afkers. I would be most happy. Too bad it'll never happen.😭
Ban the cheaters
no amount of balance can compensate for hacking. so what if your build is strong if a guy is teleporting all over the place? hackers running free spelled the end of a game i used to love, i wouldn't be surprised if thats how it goes for all games. if i'm a new player i'm certainly not sticking around long if hackers are running around and the mods aren't doing anything about it.

Balance. If you balance the game properly, not only do you preserve its shelf life, but the cheaters using hacks will be easier to deal with all in one blow, until they actually start to move with bans on those said players.
Also, balancing is a good business move in the realm of gaming and helps keep an audience around longer, meaning the game thrives and continues to provide service longer. That is, GOOD balance. Bad balance has the opposite effect.
Analogy I like to use is milk. One gallon is placed in the fridge (good balance) and one gallon is left out during the summer (bad balance).
The greatest enemy to improvement, is ignorance. But the desire to learn will cast ignorance into the fire.
I find it ironic that doing both at the same time would be the bare minimum to maintain this gamemode, yet the poll is about choosing one.
Because anet seems to be struggling enough with one and there is at least 50% chance we getting none
This is the only true answer.
The "Balance" is a fantasy -- another mortal superstition.
If there is no balance patch next week I am flying up to Oregon and pooping at their front door.
Break the bots!
they're in washington

Right. I knew that...
not Ban Wave, we need Ban Waves

The results for this probably will be influenced by what rank players are. People in Low Gold-Mid Silver (where most of the bots are) probably would see a ban wave as being significantly more beneficial to our game experience, but players higher who see bots less often probably desire a balance patch more.
On second thought, ban the hackers/ wintraders/ frequent afkers too.
A drop in population is a small price to pay
It's very likely that they'll see it very detrimental to the game experience.
A ban wave would result in longer queue times and even worse matches, as the rank disparity in matches with exacerbate.
Something like that would bring some ppl back, if it wasnt anet it could bring a lot more. By now ppl would think "ok, they banning, lets aee how long they can keep thia bots away"
I doubt a substantial amount of people would come back to this clown show we have instead of balance.
you're really taking the stance that anet should keep the hackers because you're worried about the q time going up by a minute? dam dude.
te lazla otstara.
fingers crossed meta ~
You just ignore the worse outcome in the part you quote?
We already have matches with low silver and platinum players.
If bots really are as many as some people claim, removing all of them could result in a rank disparity so big that platinum and higher players are placed in matches with bronze players.
Also, I assume that the queue will increase far more than just one minute.
Are you certain that my DNA contains Y-chromosomes?
That'd be news to me.
At least they're honest.
You wouldn't get that from some top 10 player calling botting and stuff really bad on Twitch, but then farming bots for free rating on those same streams.
Better yet, plugging it into a super dope PvP montage with copyright-swap music. Bonus points for using Notepad.

Nerfs should be reserved for extreme cases and only done in creative ways that make the game more interesting to play and watch.

again, i am talking about hackers not bots. i don't care about bots.

Considering how Anet felt they needed to remove my first post for strong criticism. I'll repost why not both
would be nice if they did ANYTHING

Ahhh okie.
Don't worry @Fueki.4753 it'd only banning enough people to count on both hands in that case.
Not missing much if they get banned. Still plenty of other people and CPUs for pips.
