Actions Taken to Address Exploitative Gameplay

“it is a top priority for us to identify accounts that are botting and remove them” rubbish
“We use powerful systems to determine if the suspected player is using an identifiable cheat” rubbish
“We’re ultimately working to unravel a challenging circumstance. Real money trading drives third parties to put an enormous amount of effort into circumventing our detection systems” so you have $US1.5B profit and are getting beaten???
“We’re ultimately working to unravel a challenging circumstance” not hard enough
“Thank you very much for your feedback on these issues, and thank you for your reports!” Stuff you players

Only bullies use the word toxic, it is a word invented by neo-marxist HR philosophy to promote homogeneity in workplaces. Toxic is exclusively used for unfocused extended time undermining of an individual. Or in my day, he who smelt it dealt it.

Edit: So yes he used the word accurately, someone makes a person toxic by label and bullying tactics.

Its really had to check a game you dont play. A /who strat and finding 4 mages named asdas iwi lkasdlk alkjsd and a druid named ljkasdfljk is difficult. No effort even put in by the botter to pretend that they arnt bots just slap the keyboard for a name. Detecting PvP bots that just zone in and stay at the zone in point is difficult. 0 damage, 0 healing, 0 movement, and 0 abilities used is difficult.

Yay! after 10 months of letting bots run rampant, control the control the markets for all Black Lotus and herbs you did the job you are paid to do and banned some bots.

Meanwhile the same reported bots are running their routes in Felwood.

The real question is have you actually hired a CS team for the game. #nochanges

Taking into account every day since Sunday, this has been a pretty crappy week on average for players who don’t want to deal with bots or the effects they have on servers. Do better. Don’t let it get to that point again.

Please remove layers.

Bot was one of my most loyal guild members. We were just getting to know each other

A banroll?..Really?!?..

So many little crying babies well done blizzard great ban wave & great work with the 30 instance cap! Anyone with a life wouldn’t hit 30 a day anyways!

You know that you cant create new character with the same character name even the old one is already banned.

if you spent 1/2 hour in each instance farming gear you would take 15 hours to hit 30 6 hours if you do 5 per hour this isn’t going to harm you from gearing much

i mean i’d much rather play this than a private server where my acc is more likely to get hacked or my information stolen and either way we asked for classic for so many years it’s not like they did it and we didn’t ask

Who is hiding?

This is the forum toon I’ve been using forever. Why would I change it just to please someone else?

Saying “post on your Classic toon” is just as slimy as saying “If we’re talking about science, you need to show us your Doctorate on the current subject” or worse, it’s like this:

`https://abcnews.go.com/US/video-resident-confronted-white-couple-stenciling-black-lives/story?id=71246535

No, sorry, no one needs to “prove” anything to anyone when weighing in on a subject.

Won’t defend what? That treating the reset mechanic like a slot machine to make rare mobs not as rare is exploitative and an abuse of that game function?

So you did your job, ok?

Now address the nuke you dropped on the community the other day.

Strat still full, scholo still full, zg still full, unguilded hunters with random characters for names everywhere… Didn’t even scratch the surface.

I have no idea what you’re referencing but I got a huge laugh from this comment, imagining GMs adding spawns just to kill you. Thank you <3

So hurting the legitimate player base while adding incentive for botters to purchase additional accounts (good for blizzard) is the response here?

Man. I hate that I already purchased shadowlands.

Blizzard has shown over the years that actually improving wow just isn’t a priority. It is 1000000% about milking all of us for as much cash as we will hand out.

Stupidly, we continue to hold out hope for what clearly won’t happen.

Very nice 74,000 accounts . Keep those banwave going . For a cleaner Warcraft . Thank you .

I see where you’re coming from, but you’d think if they’re going to check realm switching to detect bots then they’d have gotten a pretty similar list by checking which accounts are running 24/7

I know my server is still filled with unguilded bots in strat/zg
