Potential Tool for players to use against BOTs????

The obviously exploit of this is alt chars who are not in a guild. Solution to that is linking the entire account to the guild ID, but then what about alt chars in different guilds?

About the quantity and speed of reports against a single target, it's kinda difficult to balance that. Bots will most likely exist in less popular places to be more safe. If it's such an unpopular place that you only have 10-20 people a day there - that means that the bot gets to farm that location for a day. But as you said, just bringing your party there to mass report the bot would lead to bigger exploits elsewhere.

Honestly the way Ashes is shaping up, I won't be surprised if the bots just beat people in PvP anyway.

I mean, I'd assume the game already tracks account IDs (or some such thing) that then relate to specific chars on said account. Adding a guild ID on top of that shouldn't be a problem I think (if that's not the case already).

And in the same vein, I'd assume that the report system tracks who reports who, not only for ease of backtracking by GMs, but for logging history too.

So in theory Intrepid should already have everything they need for this type of system. Well, that is if my assumptions are correct.
