ArenaNet has gone on another small Guild Wars 2 account suspension spree. Yesterday, the company’s communication manager posted an announcement on the forums stating that 1583 accounts had been suspended due to them having been found using “illicit third-party software.”
The suspended accounts will remain that way for a minimum of six months and ArenaNet has no intention to allow for appeals this round. The post closes with a warning to any other player who may have similar software installed but just haven’t been caught yet:
In addition to putting your game account at risk, using illicit third-party software on your machine may subject you to security risks such as malware or viruses. If you have installed any of these programs on your computer, please remove them.

Join discussionI never played this game. Seems people with bots and cheats because they are too busy in there life to play the game normally. I believe that more than 1500 people cheat.. But have like different cheat engines. Or more sophisticated bots. So many games not enough time XD.
I may not like Guild Wars 2 anymore (mostly because I play Virtual Reality MMOs now.) But this is one of the things I love about Guild Wars 2 they now how to punish Players who use 3rd Party Programs.
Can you write a full story about it :3
Adding the part when they used a temporary spyware to read and store all the processes their players were running while playing gw2 as well as the part in which they banned everyone who were running 5 specific programs, without checking if the programs were actually interacting with the game itself?
or you can provide a source which says so with proof instead of demanding it without base at all?
