Review bots appeared

As you maybe noticed if you open the Steam page for GW2, the Guild Wars 2 reviews on Steam are extremely good to say the least, and just recently it went up from 88% positive to 89% positive, which makes GW2 one of the best rated MMOs currently available on Steam.

Seems the competition does not like that, because some sort of ridiculous weak attempts at review bombing seem to have started. If any mod or member of support is reading this, please do something about this nonsense, because this is simply pathetic.

But on the other hand, it's amusing that the competition seems to tremble because of GW2, they must be doing something right.

Examples of the reviews are below, they're all exactly and completely the same within each type:
(Small Edit - some of them have been removed in the meantime, so if a link doesn't work, the review's gone. I'll try to get rid of those that don't work anymore, and I'll add some new ones because they seem to be appearing)

Type 1:

Bot Account a écrit :
Mastery system ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks!!!

Bot Account a écrit :
My account has been suspended for no reason, at least any reason that I know of as tell won't tell me. I literally only done solo content just enjoying the game and then logged in one day saying my steam account has been suspended for security reason and customer support won't answer.

Bot Account a écrit :
Game does not respect your time at all. Straight out locks class specializations and transmogrification and mounts with traversal functions that are required behind grind walls

mastery system is an absolute timesink

pay 30$ for gathering equipment that doesn't run out

ANet is a joke

Bot Account a écrit :
First of all I actually like this game, good combat, good progression system.

The negative review exists because I really don't want to buy it on steam, and I already have a f2p areanet account with 2 level 80 farming for 2 weeks. But areanet's payment system for UK debit cards is pure trash. So I have to buy the expansion here and start over...

Bot Account a écrit :
So bad, In few minutes it will say your client is error lost connection although i have ♥♥♥ good internet,, I have try every thing to fix it I have out of idea fk game

UPDATE
Most of the bots have been dealt with by Steam, as you can see for example here or on some of the other links: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199591889325/recommended/1284210/

Only a few remain, but I'm sure those will be gone soon as well.

As for certain individuals here who were trying to defend and justify these extremely obvious bots, hope you'll contemplate a bit about some of your choices

Well done, everyone, and thank you all for reporting the bots! ☮️

fantastic news, thx for noticing and sharing the info with this community.

The state of the game or any financial reports do not matter and are absolutely irrelevant in this matter, because the reviews are obviously bots that are only copy/pasting the same 5 comments over and over again, and not actually basing them on anything. Even if they were, they're obvious bots, there is absolutely no justification for them to be tolerated.
And as I've said before, it doesn't even matter which game it is, this kind of automated bot situation is not acceptable for ANY game on Steam.

But thank you for confirming my suspicions though, you trying to deflect now shows me that you either really do have some sort of stake in this bot situation, or you're just a keyboard warrior that's digging a deeper hole instead of admitting that you didn't even read the post or look at the example reviews before commenting, you just wanted a chance to try and rub in those financial reports to start an argument the comments

Quite frankly, I don't even care which one of those is the case, both are equally embarrassing, so please stop wasting my time now
Again, it's just someone expressing their views. That's kinda the point of a forum, isn't it?

Labelling everyone who doesn't agree with you a "keyboard warrior" who's "deflecting" is just...weird. Especially when you're literally admitting you have pre-conceived notions about anyone who doesn't see eye-to-eye with you.

"confirming my suspicions"? Yikes.

Here, I won't even waste time dealing with this failure of logical connections, because you answerd this one yourself so nicely:

Dude really thinks there isnt any correlation between declining revenue and bad reviews lol

Besides, those are completely reasonable reviews. Just because ppl copy pasta each other comment, it doesnt make them a bot. We have fck ton of ascii review spams on steam, yet dude somehow thinks something like this is out of the ordinary

Good, glad we understand each other, so I can stop responding to you now
I'm sure there're plenty of other posts where you can talk with someone about the financial reports or the other off-topic things you mentioned

Bye

Exactly, and the copy-paste dumb tickbox reviews.
But because some guys are copy pasting legitimate complaints about the game they must = bots. The cope of the average GW2er is insane.

It's so very amusing when people who are bad at gaslighting attempt to do it.

You're literally trying to convince everyone in the comments here that a bunch of completely empty accounts with nearly no play time that spam the same 5 reviews are "jUsT mAnY pEoPlE cOpY pAsTiNg tHe sAmE rEvIeWs". Not to mention that we're talking about 50 to 100 of them daily on a fixed schedule with the same exact number of reviews for each of the above review types, like clockwork. But yeaaaaaaaah, sureeee, it must be "people", mhmmm.
Not to mention that, as was also mentioned several times, many of the "reviews" are getting removed by Steam, so why exactly would they get removed if they're oh so legitimate as you claim, like ....

You really must think that all of us others are apes or something if you think that we believe this even in the slightest, because I can guarantee you that not a single person here is going to believe such a bunch of illogical excuses. I mean, except you two avid bot defenders perhaps

However, you've outed yourself with your behaviour and these attempts to diminish the bot problem. I am putting in reports and I'll ask for the both of you for full account checks including IP and multi-account verification plus similar checks, because one thing that's very certain from this entire discussion is that no person could possibly have any good reason to try and divert from obvious bots in this manner as the two of you have, so I sure hope that you were just trolling or something

This is literally unhinged.
ANYONE WHO DOESN'T POST POSITIVE REVIEWS FOR THIS GAME IS A BOT, AND I WILL ASK STEAM TO VERIFY YOUR IP ADDRESS AND BAN YOU!

Patrolling the GW2 review page is bad enough, but this is a whole 'nother level of obsession. What's that thing the kids say? Touch the grass? Go touch the grass, brother.

Absolutely nobody said this, quite the contrary, even bots who spam positive reviews are very much possible. Doesn't make them any less bots or in need of someone's defense.

And what's the problem? If you have nothing to hide, you don't need to be upset about any reports because nothing's going to happen.
You sure do seem upset right now though, very interesting

Go and put the kettle on, make yourself a nice cup of tea, then sit back down a re-read what you've written.

A failure to understand on your part, does not constitute an error on mine.

But that's good advice, you should listen to it yourself more often, because half the time you invent completely unrelated and previously never mentioned stuff in your responses, just like you did with this claim that any negative review is automatically a bot. LIke I'm looking at the other comments, literally not a single person said this or even alluded to it bruh

Can y'all please go argue somewhere else?
I'm seriously getting tired of people using the comment sections of posts to serve as their personal battlegrounds for them to argue in circles
Go make a new post or open a private chat or something instead of having your conflict here in the comments, because your obvious private quarrel that the two of you seem to have has absolutely nothing to do with my post

Ignorance is not a good look on anyone, you might want to consult the official Steam discussion rules and guidelines if this is your take on the whole situation
