Scammer Account characters? (screenshots)

I was swimming along and found a very suspicious group (well stack) of characters in Frostgorge Sound. The characters seemed all afk, as two were dead, and none moved after I revived them. Seems there are three of them…weirdest part, they are all warriors, that looked exactly identical (gear and all), are lvl 80, and have randomly typed out names.

I also noticed one or two of them would have a name change… or character swap. Whatever this is, it isn’t right, I think this is an example of Gold spammers characters in game where they then type on map chat or whisper to people in game.

I wish there was a better way to report something like this, I’m unsure if this is proper or if it will receive the attention it deserves (if anet/ people aren’t aware of this).

Screenshots attacked show what I’m talking about…. (location as well, almost in center of map)

All you can do is report suspected bots. Reporting them in game by clicking on the names and selecting botting will give support access to all the information they need.They will then check what their activities are and any programs that are running.

Regardless of how suspicious they are, you are not allowed to “name and shame” on the forum. I suggest you remove the pictures or edit the names out as it’s against the forum rules.

Yes, please, to these suggestions.
