You’re talking ACCOUNTS there that may use bots. Also it isn’t necessary that they even use bots,
it could be very low income people who multi-box on their own.
I will never report bots just for being bots. They have given me tons of free wins and I like winning.
I report only “hackers” using deck codes to play illegal cards (such as 0-mana Soulfire in Tavern Brawl) because those aren’t fun to face.

Isn’t that fixed yet?

I think it is fixed now. I haven’t reported anyone in a long time, but when I did, that’s what it was for.

You’re just full of contradictions, aren’t you? If reporting bots doesn’t do anything, then Blizzard/Activision whomever needs to remove that system all together and let the bots run wild… oop, they already are.
As for being more ethical; what’s the point of being “ethical” in a game where others are allowed to break rules? You do realize that old adage of “Cheaters never win” is pure nonsense, right? No, cheaters win at whatever they were cheating at and it’s the others that lose. So again,if others are botting and reporting them does nothing; why shouldn’t every player do it?

How many of those reports equate to bans?
I’m saying you’re trying very hard to defend someone who literally stated they filed false reports:
That’s a very good question! Perhaps we shouldn’t.
Everyone dies also, but I’m not in a hurry to facilitate that.
Fighting the war on drugs didn’t do anything to stop drugs, so clearly all drug laws should be repealed, or at the very least, unenforced, right?
Because legality and morality don’t have to correlate, let alone link causally; case in point, being Jewish around a certain time period in Germany.
I don’t think you understand the true intent of that adage.
Look, I cheat all the time on all sorts of things. I cheat on my diet, I cheat on most driving laws, I cheat on most Final Fantasies (100 lightning dodges in a row? Yea, no thank you). I cheat minions out several turns earlier just by being a Druid. I cheat getting a full night’s sleep by imbibing caffeine.
And, in the distant past (over 20 years ago) I used to cheat on Medal of Honor: Allied Assault by hacking the console commands and developing my own cham skins. I’m not proud of it now, but I’m not denying my past either. It made me who I am and it’s our failures that teach us more than our successes ever will.
Nobody goes through life without ever being tested, and also still thinking life is worth living by the end of it. Because, we only value what we are afraid to lose. If you’ve never lost anything, you’ll under-appreciate everything.
Just like how you, right now, are under-valuing some very precious things; we don’t sing about love, honesty, respect, integrity, virtue, because they’re all common place. Just the opposite: it’s so rare to find something like that, and that’s what gives it meaning. You don’t think about breathing until said breath has been taken from you.
It took me being very close to losing everything, before I ever started to value anything. That’s a statement that’s very hard to write without wishing it wasn’t true. But, I look back at my past and I reconcile who I was, with who I am, and what got me from A to B is realizing my fun, my worth, my life, should not come at the expense of others in that sense.
I still cheat at World of Final Fantasy, and Skyrim, and other single player games. I still run the occasional red light and I still eat tons of crap that isn’t good for me. But when it comes to cheating, as in “cheating” cheating? That is something I’ll never do again if I have anything to say about it.
Bro idk what all of that has to do with this but seems for me that you are only participating here to gossip, disqualify others and tell us about your life without sharing with us what you have done to deal with the bot problem, maybe you don’t know it but 1 in 50 users playing even shaman were real players, I just said that at one point s stopped looking for the needles in the haystack and reported everyone i came across, but always trying not to ban innocent accounts, as I can demonstrate in this post that I published at that time

Here’s what I would NOT have done:
And here’s what I propose to do instead:
Dude. You keep repeating the same thing, as if paraphrasing something bad makes it less bad. Imagine if we subbed “shamans” for “blacks:”
“at one point i deliberately started to report all the blacks automatically whether they were humans or bots” ~ something NOT said by anyone here, but is OBVIOUSLY a very bad thing to say
You can’t just be a bad person (or at least, say bad things) and expect to NOT get called on it. If you keep this up I’m just going to report you for trolling, “automatically whether you’re trying to or not.”

Way to maintain the moral high ground 
Out of all that rambling, you made no point. No point at all.

Morals? In Hearthstone? Ohhhh that’s funny.
Do you spare the zombies in Resident Evil games?
Do you not shoot your opponents in shooter games?
Do you not commit crimes in GTA?
Do you not kill demons in Diablo?
No, you kill the zombies, you shoot your opponents, you commit those crimes and you slay those demons…
BECAUSE THEY’RE VIDEOGAMES!.
There’s no “morality” while playing videogames.
In this game? Never. I’m not even sure what would warrant it since you can’t chat with your opponents. (Unless they were obviously cheating or something) I rarely report people in general, only people who cheat in competitive games, or actual creepers. idgaf about language, “wrong” views, BMing, “gameplay disruption” (whatever that is), or any of that other stuff. I have been using the internet since the late 90s though, so nothing really phases or gets to me anymore.

I would retort this, except the troll’s biggest fan and ardent defender already did that for me:
Here’s a point: you’re trying to bait an argument by personally attacking me.
Lol i don’t know where you get that he’s my fan, i think he’s just replying to you because you’re too f annoying with your supposed moral authority.
which, as scrotie already pointed out, is only a facade to come and call us names an act as if you were giving us a lesson.

Bots are quite noticeable, but can you identify the human players playing like a bot. some definitely do.
In answer to the original question.
zero, the only player I have ever reported was playing a card that crashed both clients in the last few seconds of his turn.
If one lives according to Jesus Christ’s morals and teachings, actually, "it is said ‘you shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to judgement.’ But He told us that if we are angry with a brother or sister, we will be liable to judgement; and if we insult a brother or sister, we will be liable to a council; and if we say “you fool,” we will be liable to the hell of fire. And concerning adultery “It is said you shall not commit adultery, but He says to you that whoever looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
This implies strongly to me that Jesus meant that to hold violence or negative emotions in your heart or simulate violence against fictional characters or other players is similar to committing violence against real people in spirit or at least a seed of it. Now I am a hypocrite, because I have played violent games most of my lifetime and lusted after many women, but I just thought I’d give another point of view.
