I saw a video of a guy named megasomething (withholding the name) and he was botting the h3 pirates area, I’m not on his server but people heresy the character is on 24/7 but he paid blizzard 100k+ in di, now one of my guild mates (sucks my warband leader) was busted for botted but he only paid blizzard $10k and he is perma banned. So I’m wondering, if you pay over 100k to a company they over look a major problem in most games or is this “mega*something” guy soon to get whacked? which by the way would be as Larry David would say… Pretty, Pretttty, Preettty GoooD! hah
the guildmate of mine was trying to get in the vault to defend, blizzard has a crack way that forces us immortals to all sit at the vault and click as fast as we can solo enter if the enter button lites up. He didnt have the speed of many of us to click to get in so he used some auto clicker program that allowed him almost a chance to get in a vault defense.
I sure hope blizzard adds a queue to allow us to enter the queue and just go “next” when our turn is available. The current system for us Immortals to defend the vault just flat out sucks bad!
If I owned a game and a player spent 100K on my game I would probably look the other way also. I pretty sure most people would do the same. Sorry, but that just good business.
Yeah, which is why selling in games like this is a bad thing for all players in the game and almost always leads to worse game experiences in the end (just as the p2w mechanics applied do in and of themselves), whether it is profitable or not.
Some pigs are more equal as others, neh Napoleon. (freely and not an exact quote of a certain book of Orwell for those who do not know. ) and even if not true it is almost impossible to not have at least the implication of it in game.
it truely is a pain! imagine 300 people trying to get 4 slots that only pop up “IF” the shadows trigger an alarm. We immortals have a few daily quests which include - defending the vault, killing a shadow in the vault and others. So without us glued to our "phones’ spamming that enter button in some rare odd hopes that the shadows actually trigger the alarm and the other 299 people spam clicking that enter button have to blip in the connection that allow you to get in… its almost hopeless to do all your daily quests, its much better just to be a shadow, you walk up enter with a pre-made group or just solo and you get in within 10 seconds, no spamming needed. My guild mate spent 3 days 2 hours solid clicking to get in and gave up and went for the auto clicker so he would have a chance at actually doing the daily quests
This is what some of us have been trying to say for years now with these kind of games only to have many people saying dumb things like “but look how much money they’re making!” “you just don’t understand mobile gaming!” “but how will the devs ever make money???” among other excuses.
The credit card losers and whales are ruining gaming for everyone just as much as the evil companies who produce this stuff are.
The OP may feel like he’s being cheated but unless he’s spending $100k, he literally doesn’t matter. Just like everyone else except whales who plays these games.
I was just asking where the line was for being fair, where is the line if you pay $100, $1,000, $10,000 or the mighty $100,000+ where does blizzard say, okay we have to ban this botter guy.
I’m having fun regardless playing as a low spender (bought the battle pass again $5 this time 2nd month)
Blizzard’s hacks team does not care at all how much someone spends. They have the money already. They even ban people live on streams sometimes. Imagine how much some people have spent on Blizzard games over the past 17 years since WoW came out… esp if they get cosmetics, mounts, level boosts, server transfers, etc. It is many many thousands of dollars. That does not stop them from banning those people if they cheat.
If he is botting, he can expect he will get banned.
Although, as you said you don’t really have proof. You were told he was botting and is a whale. Beyond that only he would really know I suppose - and Blizzard.
If you do have proof, go ahead and email hacks@blizzard.com. They won’t reply, but that gets info to the right team.
No really, they ban the heck out of WoW players, including their whales.
A basic WoW account right right now for someone who played since release and got the Collector’s editions is almost $4000 spent so far. Then add on pets, mounts, transmogs, boosts, server transfers. All very expensive. That is just the base cost …whales go way up after that.
Then add in the Multiboxers who spent a crap ton more for each account and subscription. Then Blizzard bans the accounts. Individuals who have spent well over $10K, or even $50K.
Blizz bans them anyway. Famous streamers who have brought in advertising worth millions to Blizz. Permanant Ban.
great! At least that gives me hope that someday “all” cheaters will be brought to justice. Again, it doesnt really effect me directly except for my warband leader that had to use a 3rd party program to attempt to get in to defend the vault for his dailies.
MissCheetah anyway you can suggest to someone to change “defending the vault” to just have us queue and not need to spam click and hope we get in once vault a day to defend it - 2 hours sitting at a zone line even on an ipad with 2 hands 8 fingers spaming press press press is starting to get painful! hah
$4000 (and more for the cat pet collectors) is nothing compared to the $100,000 D:I whales though.
And then we look at D3 and cry
I sure hope Blizzard steps up the banning game in D4. Some of the recent mass banning in D2R has been really encouraging at least.
matters with this garbage game
