You were gonna show all of us. I’m just waiting for the show.
Why didn’t we remove any of the layer hopping exploiters or the gold gained from it? What about the dungeon boss exploits?
What’s the point of banning exploiters and leaving the goods/gold in game?
As bad as you guys make this sound with those numbers. It seems like 80%+ of all gold in game right now is there because of exploitation. Why not remove it? Instead of letting it “harm” the game.
Ya’all have the data. Why not remove the ill gotten goods too?
Thanks for informing us and taking the time to keep the integrity of classic in tact! Also a big thank you for communicating this with the players. (BTW no one wants tokens)
Appreciate you blizz
I have seen a big difference on my server 
I notice less BOTS around. There are still some but ill go report them all
I’ve seen the opposite on my server. I’ve never seen so many bots leveling up in the world and in dungeons. Yesterday I was at SM and saw at least 40-50 late at night. They run as multiboxers with garbled names and no guild. If you /who sm or zf late at night you will see tons of botters. Pretty obvious when their names are AfdsioSlf

Thats lame. Blizz needs to give your server some love… In places players don’t usually go to there are still a lot of bots but in places like arathi highlands there are noticeably less.
Yeah there are some pretty obscure places where bots will farm. I’ve seen tons killing turtles in the hinterlands (assuming for golden pearls). Winterspring is crawling with bots late at night. Arathi highlands at the elementals (not fire or earth). Out in tanaris just killing any mob that gets close. It’s pretty ridiculous. Yet, the players get punished with the 30 instance cap because of it. It’s all leading to the wow token. They’ll sell it as a cure for bots and the economy will be so inflated that you’ll basically be forced to buy gold from Blizzard to keep up.

Now unlock Faerlina.
So why do u even ban bots when according to your GMs buying gold is allowed anyways?
GM confirming it is legal:
X__I have just confirmed with A GM that trading Retail Gold for Classic is allowed - #63 by Perl-anetheron

Couple hundred Goldsellers in official forums, for months on end, no bans ever:
X__https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/de/wow/search?q=retail%20topic%3A69688
Everyone sleeping on all their guildies buying gold. Who cares about bots the damage is already done. You’re ignorant to think you can save classic’s economy when players silently buy gold in the background. Also gold farmers raid in your guilds by the way…lulz
This is bogus because Classic doesn’t have GMs.
So why are there people in the official forums doing it every single day?
X__https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/de/wow/search?q=retail%20topic%3A69688
Cause people like you are dumb and don’t realize forums aren’t moderated either, lol.
Keep banning them!

Randy! I spotted and reported numerous troll hunter bots apparently skinning beasts around Crossroads in the Barrens just the other day, as well as one troll fishing bot at the Forgotten Pools in the Barrens. How is it, I wonder, that these things can’t be detected and eliminated sooner? Why does it seem to take human reporting for them to be eliminated? It especially surprises me that they are apparently so successful this many years on and that Blizzard has not found a way to shut them down almost immediately. Hell’s bells, they are blazingly obvious to me when I spot them, they behave to mechanically. Is there not something about their action inputs that should tip you off instantly? Have the botters really made their software so hard to detect?
Legit question
I do that just to transfer gold to a different account I pay for.
It stands out on the neutral AH.
Only took you until AQ to address the issue
you are right man,also late night they will be in starter zones and will just spam frostbolt repeatedly
I’m afraid you are right,but If wow token comes,it’s over…
