Like others I was dubious about the botting claims, so I decided to prove/disprove it for myself. Last season I added players with suspicious in-game behaviour to my friend list. Using the inhuman amounts of games played to measure I found at least 6 bots. There may have been more, but 6 I could say with confidence were bots. Each were reported and I will be watching with interest to see if they are still playing this season. Also, like others, I have little faith in Anet taking action despite there repeated echo's of "we investigate".
