What is being done about the rampant botting?

Guild Wars 2 is the first game I have played by ArenaNet. I am getting very VERY frustrated with the massive abuse of the botters. I play pretty much every day. And sadly, I report botters EVERY DAY. I am guessing at least 20 different toons. I like that there is a report options for botting but what good does it do? I find myself report some of the same toons as days previous. This leads me to believe that while there is a report option for botting that nothing is really being done it.

sincerly,
Frustrated player.

We’ve blocked tens of thousands of bots since the game was released. 3,000 on a single October day, and hundreds upon hundreds on other days around that one.

Our Security Team is hard at work on new initiatives that will help address the bot situation. We know it’s an irritating situation, and we’re committed to correcting the problem through a wide variety of means.
