  1. Thanks to all that have replied. It has been very informative. This as the original answer I was looking for. Thanks. Many have pointed out good and bad. I did not know Botting was getting so big in many games. I think I would be more upset if I paid $15.00 a month and had to deal with them. So yes this is a lesser evil here. I do know what a train is in game as it moves most the time and the people BS with each other. I have learned the difference between Afkers, Runners and Bots a bit better now (thanks to those that informed me on the side). Afkers stay in one place, have a small foot print and might have a auto attack on that is non directional. Most of the time they are there just doing home work ,watching tv, making food, falling asleep at keyboard etc. If they are not they time out after 15 minutes. Group size is usually solo or maybe a few more. never very large. So I really see nothing wrong here as it falls with in Anets guide lines. Bots are people that use auto attack 1 constantly or other directional attacks (put down turrets) that need a program to "push the button" . They have a very large footprint. Work in big groups (I call them PODS). These are the main issue as the attack's extend so far out it covers a vast area and the groups so big it kills quick. Runners are just that. They set auto run on so they can beat the 15 minute AFK drops. They are not bots and use the allowed in game non directional auto attack. They can be large PODS. I do not know if runners are ok'ed in Anets guide lines. heard it both ways. For those of you that have never seen a Runner or Bot I will give 2 locations for you to view. Now I do not care if it's remote or the impact on the game. I am just letting you see something you have never seen by what you have stated. BOT'S- Blood Fin lake way point. There is always a POD. Some times on the weekend there is multiples ( this is one I had a hard time finishing the heart by killing MOB's). Runners- Domain of Kourna. Point of interest Barballate Crater. This is a massive POD some times (20 accounts or more). It is not a 24 hour group and it seems 80% of them are clones. They wear the exact same thing and are all hunters. I have seen someone bring that big shark over there. When it hit them it will shock you how many people are there. This will be my last reply. To new players that might read this. This game has some issues. What ones do not? The game is fun and solid and plays different from others in many good ways (except jumping puzzles grrr). A large majority of the community is the best I have met online. That alone is worth playing this game.
  2. I took his free account I bought the expacs. That can get me banned? I did not know that. Thanks for the advice also.
  3. I was given a friends old account. I bought the first 2 expansions not the new one. I admit the community is very friendly and the game over all is nice. My huge problem is I have never seen a game that allows so many Bot's , Runner's, Afker's (he warned me). I believe that is what they are all called. There is so many that they are in almost every zone. Some actually interfered with quests as you can not target to get credit for the kill as there is a stack of 20 people instantly killing them. I tried the reporting thing. Nothing happened. I have been told by many that Anet actually endorses it as it helps them. Botter's buy multiple accounts instantly giving money. Botter's causes In game market prices to water down forcing others to use real money to buy GEMS as they can not make a lot of gold off their drops. This seems to be what most have informed me of. So I have not had this account more then a week. I did play the free for a bit and seen some botter's but not to the extreme I have seen since I can get around more (mounts). The in game market I did not notice till I had a full account as a free account has very little we can do with it. So since I could not see this with a free account is there a grace period? A few weeks or even a month? Again this game looks and plays nice. The community is one of the best I have had the pleasure of talking to. Its that I am having a hard time knowing that they endorse this and it hurts the game for the actual players.
