There are two options - one, you’ve been in too many instances recently. Two, it’s to prevent instance servers from getting overloaded (though that’s a rather speculative answer, based on another thread over in Classic General).
This is happening again right now.
Happening on Nightslayer Fresh Classic right now. Too many bots to get into the dungeon. Just mages spamming blizzard on the entrance. Can’t get in.
I highly doubt its bot.
what? this is my main on sod.
edit: even if you edited the comment out. it was not necessary to have a comment like that. Derails the conversation.
My apologies.ive taken that out.
Currently a lot of bots in classic wow. Best mage bot spams are ZF, DMW. I am not sure how instances work, maybe it’s related to the release of AV.
But having “Additional instances cannot be launched, please try again later” error is weird and disruptive to gameplay because of the bots.
As well as if a person plays on Nightslayer you can easily see there are many bots out the open world. I don’t mind ignoring it. But when I can’t enter an instance is very disruptive.
Bots are a never ending battle blizzard bans 1000 another 10000 pop up until players stop looking forvthe easy way out it will never stop. And no blizzard not making money off bots.
it seems like a losing battle now.
As long as theres lazy and stupid players looking for the easy way out like buying gold or botting there will be cockroaches out there to take advantage of them. This only stops when theres no market.
Its not only wow that has this problem every mmo has this and theres no perfect solution
The perfect solution is stop trying to figure out how they work before you ban them, by than the damage is done as soon as detected boom ban
While I can understand how you might feel that would be better, it would simply lead to earlier changes by the bot makers to hide their bots. This would lead to an increase in the number of botters overall as they’d be more difficult to detect.
Instead, they ban bots by the literal thousands every single months. Sometimes in the tens of thousands. That’s not insignificant.
Unfortunately, people continue to bot in virtually all online games.
You mean how they’re already doing it now with specialist anti-cheat teams flagging for banwaves? Or if you meant, that a GM must manually identify and ban them on the spot, bot workshops will just adjust them to be harder to detect and Blizzard will have less data to work with to detect them since they get instant banned without evidence collection?
What if 99.99% being right turns to 99% being right of getting banned for botting? Assuming a sample of 10k, that means it turns from 1 false ban, to likely 100 false bans. Do you think I like it as a customer to get falsely accused of botting?
We already have problems with players accusing Blizzard of “automated bans” (which strikingly still seems fairly accurate after 2nd review) now imagine if free-duty players can decide if your account will get banned or not on the mere suspicion of botting.
I even had this problem in Runescape when I was P-Modding that they thought I could ban players (protip, we could only Mute players and report them) but that didn’t stop players from feeding the rumour mill.
The player solution is whack-a-mole. Ban first, ask questions later.
Blizzard has also done that in the past, it just makes more work for them. Unless you intend for the players to also do the footwork of unbanning the false positives. $10 says not a single player would be willing to do that.
Were correct. You might not like the fact that they were correct, but they are as can be seen via a plethora of threads here in CS.
At least they didn’t make up some percentage like 3%. I would love to see the data you got that information from.
Nope. Not only that, but it would also open up Blizzard to a lawsuit for not reimbursing people working for Blizzard.
