Over the course of the last week, we banned more than 4,000 accounts of players using "bot" programs intended to mine the game for gold and items. The use of such programs is strictly against our User Agreement, and their use can have a negative effect on the game's economy and on all players who play the game legitimately. We will remain diligent on the matter of bot use, and will continue to take action against those accounts involved in such use.</em></blockquote><a href="http://guildwars.com/competitive/gwfc/season3times.php" target="_blank">Tie-Breaker</a>.<blockquote><em>As the dust settled on the GWFC Season #3 playoffs, two guildsa  Sacrament of the Waooru and Treacherous Empirea  ended up tied for GWFC championship points.
