Display MoreI absolutely still care, but the same points still apply and are very hard to tackle for us, unfortunately.
How can we know that something is botted and how can we know that something is not botted? How can we be certain?
The issue lies that if we are going to police this, we would need to have solid evidence of it, which is hard to collect for us since we do not have the in game logs or information. In GW2, you'd be able to walk around and see the bots, but in this game it's impossible to do so.
ArenaNet is in fact the one that should be policing this, not us. They aren't, and that forces us in an uncomfortable position: how can we be certain if something is gained from botting or not? What proof/evidence do we have?
If someone bots on Twitch and we see those identically same items listed for sale here, that is indeed solid proof. But if someone that we ban as a cheater comes to me and requests me the proof on which grounds the ban has been given, I need to be able to provide that.
It's like instead of calling the police and deal with issues, taking justice in our own hands. And that just never ends well.
Even though the case here is a bit different as the police is just never coming... it's though.
What do you mean howw can you know ?
You want us to make a list with PM's of them admitting to be reselling botted items ?
When someone is selling 200 echovalds or another guy is literally just spamming the forum with Q8 celestial shields, swords or another one is selling only Q8 gold items from NF that were thought to be almost unobtainable 1 year ago...
