Falsely Accused

My account was recently banned and I am extremely outraged. I farm in Orr alot since it is the best place I have found to farm. I have reported constantly all the bots in Orr that are so obvious since they all look alike and are naked from dying so much. But evidently since I am a Ranger (like the bots) and use a brown bear (like the bots) I am immediately accused of being a bot. The thing that makes me mad the most is my guild mates all say that all the NAKED RANGER BOTS are still in game NOT BANNED! I spent alot of my hard earned dollars on Collector’s Edition and Official Soundtrack not to mention the hundreds of dollars I have spent in gem store and to be accused of botting really pushed me over the edge. I have reported atleast a hundred bots myself because I dont want them to ruin this game like they ruined other MMO’s. Anet please resolve this and restore my faith in your company.
