In a nutshell, every start of the ranked PvP season in GW2 there's a ton of bots farming the matches, to the point where I report multiple ones a day. However, I thought of an easy and fair solution: a simple captcha test before ranked matches to weed out automated programs from farming ranked PvP. Could be as simple as "click on all tiles that contain flowers" and the tiles will shuffle with random symbols on them, containing the correct answer. The tiles and subject will randomize before each match is ready. Six tiles total, 2-3 tiles that will contain the 'correct' answer. There will be a 10 second timer to click the correct tiles, and if the test is failed, you have to re-queue. This is fair enough as to not gate free accounts out of ranked, but stern enough to cut down on a sizable amount of the bots that overwhelm ranked matches. Anyways, thanks for reading. Hope this makes sense. Feedback is appreciated.

Hey y'all, I'm sure this has been suggested numerous times before, but in case it hasn't, I wanted to bring up an idea that I'd love to see worked on and eventually implemented, if it gained enough support. 🔶In-game guild finder🔶 Recently, I've seen an influx of new players, which is good. However, a lot of them are lost and looking for guilds in starter areas, because they don't know how else to join a guild. This creates a scenario where people feel encouraged to spam their guild advertisements ad nauseum in various map chats, hoping to get new members and this tends to lead to a bit of frustration for everyone. A lot of people don't like seeing guild spam, and I'm sure growing guild leaders aren't fond of spamming maps with their guild pitches to gain recruits, either. I know this is much, much easier said than done. However, I think it would benefit everyone (especially new players), if there was a simple guild search function implemented in game. Guilds could tag themselves by categories (PvE, PvP, WvW, RP, etc.) and then players seeking guilds could find ones that match the criteria they checked off in the boxes. Additionally, guilds could add a small description in the search results, so new players can narrow down who they'd like to join. Joining a guild from a search could have an open, application, and closed status. Open status could mean you hit 'join', and you're automatically approved. Application status would need a guild leader or officer approval first. And closed would be where your guild doesn't even show up in searches. Let me know what you think. Hopefully I posted this in the right topic, I wasn't really sure where to post this.

So, to start off: I absolutely adore GW2. Best MMO I've played in over a decade, and I love the things anet has been doing for the game since launch. Coming back to GW2 has been nothing but a positive experience for me. However, one thing I did notice today: I made a new asura character and used a makeover kit on him to get more customization, and everything seemed fine... until I saw a big distortion/misalignment with his model when he enters his combat stance. I noticed the artifact is absent on my other asuran character with a new face model on the same body type (this guy has an older face model), so maybe that's it? I'm not really sure, but I'd love a solution to this problem. Hopefully it's something easily fixable. Couldn't figure out how to upload an image directly, so there's an imgur link in the spoiler box displaying the bug. Thanks!
