There's a lot of confused emojis on every thread. Problem with those is that usually no clue what they are confused about or even what they mean by it (yeah, its kinda like disagree, but who really knows). Dont mind them personally, but they do not add anything of value to the discussion. Theres loads of people here trying to explain what those reactions REALLY mean and it usually means system is not functioning if you need to try to explain it. I think simpler reaction system would serve the forum a lot better ('like/agree', 'dislike/disagree' would be enough).

Except going very very fast on a straight line and hitting every single wall and obstacle and getting stuck when there is a slightest bend, like roller beetle!

Maybe they should sprinkle bit more ascended drops to open world events, so semi casuals could get some (especially armor) upgrades through loot. For example, I have been playing this game maybe 3 or so years and never seen single ascended piece drop as loot in open world, which makes me think it might be bit too rare.

No i went to bed and came back the next day and exact same characters were in exact same spot doing exact same stuff. (yes, you could split hairs that maybe they logged off too, but i pretty much doubt it)

Thats the price you pay for horizontal progression. Loot is just not that interesting in this game. Its just do stuff -> open containers -> dump whatever you got to material storage (and salvage the rest). Loot is mostly cosmetic after lv80 for most of the players.

yes please. I just want to get rid of bloom completely (if you like it, go try doing reality rifts in frostgorge sound and tell me how it works out for you...) EDIT: That guy whos giving confused face, go try it and report back how nice it was....

Thats what they want you to do, but sadly the trust is just not there anymore. Numerous times i´ve reported multiboxing botting farms (10+++ accounts with similar names). Then check back the location and find them doing the exact same thing for straight 24+ hours. There is just no way in hell that one guy can control that many accounts for that long without it being unsupervised or accounts being shared between gold farmers.. Those kittening bots are absolutely everywhere these days. So please tell me if you feel you´ve done the community a service by reporting...

Im sure they did. Sadly those "players" are probably afk bot farms multiboxing and for exploiting the login rewards for gold gain with loads and loads of accounts.

I mostly play untamed and mech and i frikkin hate those jade mechs too. They seriously need to make them smaller, dyeable/skinnable and remember the choice if i shoo it off instead of popping back every time i port somewhere. And wouldnt mind option to completely disable other people´s (pets not in your squad) pets too.

Jade bot, not mech...

AFK farm bots would have very bad day suddenly if i were the Big Guy(tm) That is pretty much the only thing that annoys me at the moment.

Tech to get rid of afk bots. And enable the tech to all areas, not just xpac. For example these things I mentioned elsewhere: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/125475-first-time-ive-seen-afk-farming-bots-here-aetherblade-cache-tears-of-itlaocol-in-caledon-forest/#comment-1816734 Or something completely different if they can think of something better.

This works, but is mildly risky. Sometimes you have to smash esc several times for autoattack to stop. I think they should change autottack (1) key so that if you press it again, autoattacking stops. More workarounds: i think theres also keybind for autoattack target, pressing it again should clear the target and stop autoattack.

Bind your stow/draw weapon hotkey to something. Should stop autoattack.

Most likely a bug, I wish all of those obnoxious wings would permanently disappear from the game, though.

Good start, but its not that simple. All they need to do after that is to macro 'target nearest enemy' -> 'use whatever aoe attack'... I think pets are there mostly to distract the mobs anyways so botting player does not die. They need to alter their terms of service and flat out ban use of any automation. Even if the player is there overseeing their bot. Would be clear for anyone without any pickering about technicalities.. EDIT: There actually was interesting idea i came across on gw2 subreddit. Just rank up the mobs without increasing the loot if they keep dying multiple times right after spawning. Start with elites and go champions and all the way to legendaries with unstable magic abilities. Would become too much trouble than its worth, so good bye to most bot farms without devs needing to jump trough too many hoops to solve the problem. EDIT2: And another was putting diminishing returns on loot if mob gets slaughtered repeatedly, forcing players to move.

Well, problem is usually the price. Berserker is dirt cheap across the board and thats why a lot of people (especially newbies) keep using it and dying and getting frustrated. Maybe devs should look into pricing disparity of different prefixes to make less frustrated people. And ofcourse sites like metabattle are full of berserker builds. So people keep grabbing them from there and dying. EDIT: BTW, one simple way to increase survivability on basically any build is to slap vampirism runes on your armor. Gives more health and power and when you kill something, you get healed. I use those in almost all of my open world characters. And they are very cheap on TP.

Yes, thats how it usually goes. More = better in a lot of cases.

Offical stance or not, but i hope these threads keep popping up more and more to get message to dev team. Amount of afk bots in this game is just embarrassing. Telling people do useless chores (report in game) and do absolutely frikkin nothing to bots is just lying to your customer base.

Welcome to the club. Absolutely everybody dies in HoT at first. It gets eventually better when you familiarize yourself with your class and monsters.. EDIT: For Guardian. Try Dragonhunter with longbow, its generally more survivable than going melee with HoT monsters. Can always swap to greatsword if you want to go close and personal (trap bomb+spin to win is just great with DH)

Doesnt work. Same bots get reported over and over and they been afk farming for years non stop 24/7.

I think it lacks interesting loot. But its a design choice by devs and not too many mmo's with horizontal progression after max level, so cant really complain about it too much. Loot in GW2 (open world) is just 'open containers, dump whatever you got to material storage'

Oh, the eeeeevil boooobies... World is coming to an end...

Yes, i know. I have lily of elon teleport. Its still a minor annoyance sometimes (EDIT: escaping is easy, but eats more time to get back where you were before you teleported if you want to continue whatever you were doing..).

Looks like we are not playing the same game. Without flying mount, sometimes finding a safe spot is a chore and its just easier to teleport away (and probably get attacked by whatever event happens to be on top of the waypoint you went to...)
