Khalisto.5780 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 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.

Fueki.4753 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyninja.2954 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 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.

TheQuickFox.3826 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 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.

Loboling.5293 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I'd be happiest with a ban wave and a slight change.The following cc skills deal damageWarrior:Headbutt (0.8)Bull charge (0.6)Hammer 5 (0.4)Ground stomps (zerker one and physical stunbreak one) (0.3)GuardianHammer 4 (0.6)Spirit hammer (0.3)Revenant:Glint elite knockback (0.5)Shiro elite (0.4)Staff 5 (0.3)RangerAxe 4 (0.8)EngineerHolo elite (0.5)Nerf holo 1 PvP by 20%Holo 5 (0.3)Scrapper explosion gyro (0.8)Big ol' bomb (0.8)Thief:Daredevil elite (0.3, 0.3, 0.6)ElementalistFocus water 5 (0.3)Meteor shower no longer reduced dmg per hit in PvP (no -20% per hit)NecromancerReaper elite (0.4)Minion elite (0.3)Mesmer:Greatsword 5 (0.3)Chrono elite (0.2, 0.3, 0.5)Pistol 5 (0.3)With these small adjustments, and the removal of the hackers, bots and afkers. I would be most happy. Too bad it'll never happen.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand The Wall.6987 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 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.

Ghos.1326 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 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).

Bazsi.2734 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rvannith.8364 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 @Khalisto.5780 said:Which one would you like right now? 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.
