Anyone know how they are going to stop malicious things for guild wars 2? I have already seen a few sites here and there about things. If you look on youtube or google you see sites like Taultunleashed(Link Removed) and MMOViper (Link Removed) showing gw2 cheats and bots. Will they have something like world of warcraft's warden system to detect people? Are people going to be banned right away on the first offense (to help stop further cheating), or are they going to be more relaxed. Personally i hope they are extremely active in banning people.
So far I haven't seen too big of a problem with botting or cheats personally. However more when the game had first come out I occasionally got emails from people selling gold etc... It seems like I see that less and less so whatever they are doing it seems like it might be working on getting rid of malicious things.
Just as an update to this, since the thread is pretty old, the bots really aren't much of a problem anymore. I don't ever see bots. I remember back in the day I would see them everywhere. What was always funny is seeing the naked Ranger groups running around.
Yep in Frostgorge sound and wayfarer foothills always Too bad there are still bug abusers around to influence the market.
I don't think they affect anything really. If they don't touch the part of Gold in the game, and they don't do any PVP advantage hack kind of thing, they aren't even going to be any harmful to the game because it's completely and utterly useless, what would they bot for and what would they cheat on?
