Bans and anti-farming measures in Guild Wars

ArenaNet has updated its online action rpg Guild Wars again. They've banned over 100 users for using farm bots (programmed characters which do the same area again and again in order to gain items/gold in an easy way without playing the game). At the same time they've made it easier to get access to skills and certain items during normal play.

We know that some players currently engage in repetitive farming activities for the primary purpose of unlocking skills and items for PvP. Rather than preserving the effectiveness of farming for this purpose, it is our intention to address the larger issue of the need for farming by assessing how players acquire and unlock items, runes, and skills, and then by taking steps to ensure that players can acquire and unlock these things through normal gameplay. We believe that the most effective way to play the game should also be the most fun way to play the game. You can expect to see the first meaningful changes towards this goal next week.

Read the whole list of fixes and improvements here. The fact that you know no longer have to keep bosses alive in order to steal their skills will surely make things easier. As usual the game will automatically download and install the patch once you start Guild Wars up.
