Cyninja.2954 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Guess a mini task force would be a good idea for this issue. Maybe even implement caps on spvp rewards (definitely high enough that no legit player could ever reach them).On top of which, check connected accounts who profit off the bot (similar login IPs, shared materials etc.). Then remove all affected parties with maximum scrutiny.Pretty surprised this has not set off any red flags yet at Arenanet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicast.1459 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 do nothing about bot please...we would have 10 minutes waiting queues if they remove 30% of active pvp accounts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I've experienced a bot mesmer mirage player. Plays day and night. Plays quite well. Sometimes gets stuck or wobbles around on same spot on Foefire and Silent Storm. Never reacts to chat. I already /reported it. I can provide a video recording to ArenaNet if requested by them.

This some kind of sarcasm? Why would anyone spend money on an account which generates enough gold from not playing?A lot more likely is that these accounts are used for gold acquisition for RMT or supplying some main account.

Ziggityzog.7389 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Sarcasm lol. I just like to poke at how there is no pvp support I'm gw2. Same circlequest maps after 6 years and same non competitive win trade wars for 10 seasons now. Either do solo only or a soloque and lb with a separate team que and lb. Duo has only made pvp into a wintrade war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to active with spvp myself but yes, the game mode needs love (and some supervision as to prevent this kind of abuse).Here is hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddoctor.2738 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 well since they reward you for playing a pvp game you can "bot" without using a bot. Log into games, afk at start, rinse repeat. Honest question: would there be so many bots if you had to win to get any rewards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delweyn.1309 Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 At last I was able to upload videos.I made a full damage+stealth build to destroy not reactive people and bots (and watch them).The bot I caught was the lowest one. It bugs and is very not well programmed.The other mirage bots (I spotted at least 3 of them) don't get buggy and they are much more challenging. They insta dodge + invisibility at the sec. I hit them. So I can't "OS" them like this one.1st video (bot in enemy team)In this map, the bot goes always at close first, if not taken. 2 times he goes mid because close was taken for them.Each time, he stops at the exact same place.He is not reactive at all and don't care at me even when all warns it that I'm here. ... But, as always, I know that there will be people who will still be sceptics. So here is the 2nd video2nd video (bot in my team)In this map, the same bot always goes mid first.As I said in other tread, they use buff at start (like a normal player would do ) + random dodgesYou will see how they change their routine when they spot an enemy, and run after him.In the fight, it has survability and use all skills like a human player would do. It's like this that they fool people.I was lucky that I got this bot in this map so it's very obvious thanks to bugged path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delweyn.1309 Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 A small update to show how those bots are prosperous.I even put the 515-638 because it's a bot too.https://imgur.com/a/uUXFH1UThe ranked 1221 shows that they are even doing their affair in low gold division too.

Abazigal.3679 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I'd be interested to know though how far could bots go. However, i'm not sure bots could run anything else than holding sides 1v1 on mirage, scourge straight running to mid spamming aoe randomly, or eventually DH guard/trap ranger spamming traps and blocks on recharge. I mean, we all know condi spamming works quite well until a certain level, but anything else would be totally useless in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we all know condi spamming works quite well until a certain level, but anything else would be totally useless in my opinion. From my experience, I would say the best bots can go easily mid gold. They follow a path routine and can take all 3 points. And in fight they can be challenging (not like the one in the videos).But they clearly can't go further than gold 3. Even with good teams and doing some damages in big fights, they don't have the brain to adapt strategy. And they don't use portals or tp, or retreat when things become hot.The bots you see in plat are real players using cheats like speed or tp hacks for the win. The auto bots are here just to make money. And they are doing a lot.But I think that the users don't push the auto bots too far to not climb too high, because they would be spotted more easily by players who play more for competition.

Ziggityzog.7389 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Welcome to the transition from pvp to bots playing bots. Just like in gw1 is was gradual but eventually the bots out numbered actual players lol. Gotta wait for guild wars 2 for good pvp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos.4263 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 These bots have a winrate of 44-48%, which isn't bad considering they are literally smashing buttons mindlessly....and which also suggests who you are teamed with matters as much or more than your own ability.
