Actions Taken to Address Exploitative Gameplay

They claim they banned “today” too. In a batch. Its also not specific on how much happened today.

And Vrakthris said this two days ago:

"I wish I could show folks the emails that I see weekly, of ban waves that happen "

it makes me wonder if they were just holding onto this, or maybe it’s just a bold faced lie to try and calm people.

but we’re just making it up, so I can’t.

So can we unlock Herod now? Since half our population has been banned?

Yeah, interesting. (But also corporate double speak? From Blizzard? Tell me it isn’t so!)

“We can’t trust you anymore Blizzard…”

“we are banning tons of players and working super hard to stop bots, but we will never show any type of evidence so you just have to trust us!”

Time to farm some barrows on my OSRS account since my WoW sub ran out. Hopefully you guys can revert the instance limit so I can come back and play WoW again soon.

I do not wanna be too mad since they atleast responded and seem to have reacted. But as usual with blizzard it feels like a last minute resort to do some damage control because some kid in the math department figured out that keeping the bot accounts long term is not as profitable as keeping actual players that keep playing the game.

Edit: See how toxic this company has made me with their lies over the years. eeh

They’ve been saying that bots cost them exorbitant amounts of money for the last decade.

You’ve done that to yourself. You made yourself believe the truth they were telling you was lies.

now revert the idiotic instance limit

Yes that’s while they are suing the bot makers for infringing on their copyright. It’s true from an economic sense probably. But also loudly stated to make their legal case.

It would be nice if you could address boosting too. All you need to do is normalize the level of a player 10 plus levels above the rest of the players in the instance. You already have the technology and it doesn’t really deviate from classic wow much. It just resolved a modern problem created through bringing an ancient game to modern time.

Mr. factman, nobody even cares whats your take on the topic. And please do not link me that “its all stolen accounts” response from 2011 again. I get it, you are their shill.

Just go and play somewhere else pls.

And people like you also make me toxic.

Thank you Kaivax! We appreciate your dedication!

Nobody is making you toxic except for yourself. You’re not going to believe anything Blizzard says, that’s a personal issue you need to address.

I wonder what the false ban ratio is. 10:1?

I only ask because you people falsely banned both my accounts for this garbage a few months ago and it took 3 weeks for you to reinstate my account but we have hundreds of thousands of bots and they get to keep playing. THEY ARE PLAYING RIGHT NOW

There isn’t hundreds of thousands of bots playing right now. There’s only 42 (I think) servers in NA.

Btw Delimicus. You notice how they did not claim its all stolen accounts this time? Notice how they did not claim it costing em money to ban with all the stolen credit cards?

Or did you just choose to ignore that part?

Much appreciated information. Thank you for caring about the game.
