PvP Domination Botting

Has really gotten out of control below level 60 the past day or two. It's gotten to the point where often my wife and I are the only 2 humans in the game.

There is no easy way to report people, but really, there isn't much need either. A cursory examination by any gm's would show the magnitude of the problem. The way these bots work is, they follow an exact path to the center, and then they auto-smash their buttons on the nearest target once they get there.

Out of the 4 dominations I played today on Beholder in the 50-59 bracket.

Match 1: 7 bots, 2 players
Match 2: 8 bots, 2 players
Match 3: 7 bots, 3 players
Match 4: 7 bots, 3 players

Is there any plan to address this issue? It makes the matches even more boring than the join issues resulting in lopsided fights.

    I think they are actively working on it at the moment. In my own experience I have noticed a definite increase of bot's in the past week.

    Atleast they are better than AFKers, and to be honest sometimes better than players as atleast they fight on the darn pads :)

    You are looking for a bright side on botting? Why?

    And as for a solution.. Fighting bots is an arms race, and probably downright impossible to completely solve since a human playing badly can't be punished.

    I have been having the same problem. I just turned lvl 30 and started pvping with the lvl 39 group. Levels 29 and below I took no notice to the bots. However as a level 30 I've played mostly with bots and it's awfully boring and far too easy.
