This is War! & ArenaNet is Winning

ArenaNet talks about their success in the war against Bots.

Mike Lewis, Security Coordinator for Guild Wars two, wrote a weblog post revising players on the present war against bots in the Guild Wars 2 gold game. In the post Lewis goes a tiny into how ArenaNet is combating bots, yet the most astonishing information is the tough stats.

In just the month of November ArenaNet terminated over 34,000 accounts for botting. That is a considerable amount of dead bots, though is all of that making a distinction in the war? I would say most most certainly yes! The volume of bots reported in October was over two,000 each hour. Today there's around 20 bots reported an hour. Down to 1% of what it was just 2 months ago!

Lewis mentioned this was doable thanks to all of the details that ArenaNet collects & analyzes. They check out the facts for each standard players and automated bot players to quickly find and hunt down bots, a process that ArenaNet targeted making automated to expedite those dastardly bots' defeat.

The bot fighting process is not absolutely automated in spite of this. GMs still roam the world and are in a position to monitor and detect bots directly from within the gw2 gold game. ArenaNet also continues to use player bot reports as well, which with the GM tools and data analysis tools enable for a speedy action when required. So while the war is going exceptionally well, players are nonetheless in a position to help keep the enemy at bay.
