The Bot Problem is unreal!

I am trying to play and genuinely cannot.
Every single opponent I have faced for 15 + games is roping me and not because he is human and needs time to think, it’s the player-made bots that rope on purpose to try and mislead you from reporting them by roping and acting human.

I will genuinely stop playing because I cannot be having every single opponent in Wild roping me.
5 minutes games become 15 minute games while the actual gameplay part is less than 3 … I can’t play like this.

How often do you concede? I rarely get matched up with a roping bot in wild.

I should’ve added that I am playing on the Asia Server right now.

Here not only are you facing even more bots, the bots are made to rope on purpose for reasons unknown to me.

Playing on Asia is genuinely unbearable and I don’t advice it to anyone.
Every game is a 15 minute game, they rope every turn to the last second, even if they have 0 mana.

If you don’t get out of the low MMR (?) zone, bots are everywhere. I never though that this could be so severe until I switched to a seldomly touched server. I had to like win 25+ games with 90%+ win rate to get out of the BOT zone. Very funny…

I honestly cant understand why blizord refuse to fix it, and why people are defending all the bots. They always say ‘‘well get to X rank and you will never have to face another both again’’

There shouldnt be bots at any rank period, so if i wanna lose all my games, should i only get to play vs bots huh?

So you would prefer to get bounced up to face players of an MMR score far above your own? That wasn’t much fun either and it’s what they used to do before bots. Pick your poison.

I do not think OP is talking about Blizzard bots though, as my interpretaion is what you refer to. From my experience Blizzard bots do not rope, on the contrary they are quite reliable in the speed they are playing their turns.

I’m wondering why you think they’re bots.

I think people have “bots” on the brain, as it were.

They are bots that farm gold. In Asian places, the asians buy the accounts on websites, after they have accumulated enough gold, so that they can use the gold to purchase arena tickets.
Then, they draft arena decks until they get a god draft, and stream that to the asians audience where it is very popular.
The goal is to steam an arena run in which the opponent has no chance, and gets completely steamrolled.

That’s why there are player bots, and the Asians keep buying the accounts.

It’s happening one game after another without stop.
It’s a logical assumption from the plethora of games I played on the Asian Server.

No reason to defend against what we already know, Wild is filled with bots.

So, playing within the rules is bad?

What rules, these are botting accounts.
Are you trying to defend botting
?

Blizzard: We have banned 115K bots in the last 2 months
You: There are no bots!

We don’t believe they are botting accounts.

I was pointing out that what he was describing as “bot behavior” was simply wrong.

Yes, I think people are becoming hysterical about this, & seeing bots in all of their opponents.

Not at all. It is still quite common on the AP server.

Play wild on any server. Schyla has posted his 80% bot opponents in wild, I have seen similar results lately, which led me to stop playing the format until its properly addressed. You not knowing what bot behaviour is only shows ignorance on your behalf.

This is what I was referring to.

This is not possible.

Occom’s Razor says that something that acts human is probably human because that is the simplest explanation.

End of discussion.

This is a lie.

… isn’t always the correct one.

You would like that, company man, wouldn’t you? It is undesirable, pointing out company failures.

Sorry mate, you are wrong. Roping is bot-like behaviour, especially on the AP server.

You also dont get to declare the discussion over. If you want that power apply for a job as mod. Oh wait, thats outsourced to the community now, so youre out of luck there as well.

Yeah there are loads of asian bots. I can’t imagine how bad that is on asian servers. Would not be very enjoyable.
