Instead of complaining over and over, just report suspicious people and move on, it’s unfortunately the best you can do, anything other than will just waste your time and energy.
Apparently terrain exploits are just fine with them, running straight up the wall into the Graveyard in WSG not a problem.

Best way is to cancel your sub, cite rampant botting/cheating/RMT as your reason for leaving.
If enough folks unsubscribe for that same reason in a short period of time, that may finally be enough to warrant a serious response. Maybe. 
updating info
Still one of the dumbest changes possible to the game.
So it’s been a while, looks like everyone opposed to the crappy update either quit or just stopped posting. Here’s a reminder that you didn’t even hurt bots or gold sellers, and just screwed over regular players.

hunters still fly hacking lotus spawns… still havent fixed the exploit… banning them just makes them buy a new acco. . … wait a minute…
I think i figured it out. you can “Ban” then they buy new accounts… and you make money…
that makes more profit that just actually fixing the exploit.
it’s like treating a cold instead of curing it… makes more money in the long run. nice work blizz

Are you addressing PvP exploits/bots. I was in Dolanaar just outside NE starting area and a bunch (5) level 1 warriors were in the cemetery immediately next to the inn with at least a pair of level 5 horde toons. The level 1s all had nonsense names with special characters, probably to make it harder to Report. They’d autoattack on rez until they died, rez and repeat. The only function of this is to runup PvP rank. So, I stood by with my low level druid and spammed moonfire on them, so they’d die fast. After I got about 15 kills, they logged off, I went into the inn out of sight, watched them log back in and continue the process. Clearly, PvP rank shouldn’t be based on so a strat.!
If punishment isn’t meant to deter then it’s just about you getting sick thrills inflicting pain.
But if punishment is meant to be an effective deterrent then it needs to be swift. It doesn’t need to be severe, but infractions need to quickly be followed by consequence.
It’s like training a puppy- if you don’t let them know they did something wrong right when they do it then they just get confused and frustrated.

Started WoW Classic recently, was running around in Darjkshore.
Some player comes up to me while I’m in the middle of something and says: “Bot?”
So I respond… but honestly was feeling anti-social and just wanted to play and not interact. “Nope.”
Him: “WTF!”
Me: “…”
Him: “Me and a friend saw you last night. You didn’t reply, so we thought you were a bot.”
Look man, not every player wants to hold down a conversation and/or explain why they don’t want to stop what they’re doing to help you with a quest. It got me wondering how many “bot police” self-righteous players report people wrongly… I don’t have any reason to think this guy reported me, but maybe he did?
In short, I hope Blizz is being EXTRA careful when evaluating accounts for possible cheating. I plan to continue to be anti-social and don’t always want to respond to other players. I don’t like online games in general because other players often make things miserable, WoW is the ONE exception to this rule for me.
From Blizzard’s own mouth: “Multiboxing, or playing multiple World of Warcraft accounts at once, is not a violation of our End User License Agreement.”
Why would this bother you anyway?

Hah, for whatever reason companies would rather pay 3x as much in developing automated technology instead of paying human beings to do it. That’s true not just for Blizz but most companies these days. I think it speaks to the mindsets of the people at the top.

Heh, companies always have a publicly stated reason why when they replace people with software.

this is pog
" In those cases, where a legitimate player is reported and then cleared of wrongdoing, it can be very frustrating to the reporting player"
Not as frustrating as for the falsely reported player that has to fight an unjustified ban because some moron thinks having alts on follow is “botting”.

There solution will be wow tokens now that they are conditioning everyone into paid boost paid copies, and changes to the game that players are not asking for! Why is it so hard for a company dependent on consumers to not listen to them and continually give us A.) things we don’t want, B.) that will make the life span of this game as short as shadow lands was after launch and kill it to make a short term gain. Please wake up before you ruin the best MMORPG and ever made.
Paid boosts? Not a fan. Paid copies? You can’t really argue that this feature didn’t exist in Vanilla/TBC, as the situation of having a second game to copy to didn’t exist. As for tokens, I wouldn’t be concerned. SL is pay-to-win, clearly as a result of tokens. Anyone with enough money can buy carries through Heroic or Mythic content with a top guild. Blizzard really doesn’t want that in TBC Classic.
