    YES! I'm seeing bots in every single PVP match, I usually don't report because the whole ticket process is way too much of a hassle, If I could simply right click on a persons portrait and click a report menu option, I'd be far more likely to report the bots and hackers I come across(and yes there ARE people hacking in PVP).... I know there's a huge chance for an influx of false reports with an in-game report feature, but cryptic really has to do something about these bots, they're taking pvp by storm!

    Most ridiculous poll ever. Congrats.

    Someone has never heard of Battlecruiser 3000 AD.

    easy profit for powerlevelservices.
    altough banning the bot accounts won't help, it's better than nothing and denying some of the cashflow for those sites (not a great impact for them).

    It's games like this that are rather annoying, easy and fast win for the nonbot team, but it feels wrong.

    Yea! Lets ban all IP adresses!!
    Maybe you should read the wiki article about IPv4 ...
    No leaver penality in PvP!

    And here is the reason:

    If you want people to stay for the match end even when you're sitting on a 600-10 score and you've decided to be ***-hats and spawn-camp, you need to give them a reason. Punishing them is not the answer. That's just pouring salt-acid into an already bleeding wound.

    This poll is moot since there is no way to positively identify a bot unless you have access to data banks and server logs. This button would be spammed all day.

    bs, scripts/bots always follow the exact same movement pattern. Easy as hell to recognize.

    Most bots I've seen simply run to bases on foot, if they encounter an enemy player they will generally not use encounters, instead they will simply chop away with their at-wills.... and hit you for practically nothing and be really really easy to kill.

    I have seen bots that use horses to go from base to base, but they will not fight at all, they simply stand at the base and take whatever damage they're dealt.

    There will be people who are actually not bots that get reported, but that's why it's cryptics job to investigate and see if there is any merit to the report.

    You would do better by banning MAC address then IP Addresses...

    5 bots in a row joined my PvP match. I didn't manage to get the last one replaced by the time the match started; so needless to say, we lost.

    This is aboslutely absurd. This was the level 40-49 bracket; they were still using level 9 gear. Just goes to show how long these bots have been running.

    This is becoming a massive problem; it has to be stopped.

    Obvious answer here is yes. What is worse is when you see a real player who has a bot on a following script, made to attack the closest person so as to make the participation clause completely useless in combatting bots.

    You quitting? Buh bye then, I'll still be playing, I'm not letting something so trivial and stupid ruin my game experience, I just find it annoying, and something requiring action, not a deal breaker..... quit trying to turn your own thread from a "let us report the bots in-game" into a "wah cryptic was mean to me, ima quit and you should too" thread.

    Yes, lots of players botting farming mobs now. Seen a couple of them at Icespire. An option to report a player for botting or naming voilation would be great.
