See it’s funny that you just believe everything blizzard says. “We don’t profit from ban waves” that is an absolute lie. Not only do people rebuy the game, they will buy boosts (obviously not in classic) to catch back up to max.
Yes obviously the cost to have employees just there to catch hackers is a cost that would be more then the profit earned from the new accounts created, but that should just be part of the budget of operating an online game. Like spend millions if you have to per month, to get bots out of your game. Or at least make it so it’s not 50% of the characters in farming spots.
But sure you can continue being a shill, continue thinking there is no bots, continue thinking blizzard makes no money off rebuying the game.
Remember when the CEO on stream said blizzard makes no money off the token? The thing that costs $25, to then be traded to give another player $20. They make $5 on every token, not to mention people buy tokens, for store mounts. So a $100 mount like the new brutosaur in retail costs $100 cash, or $125 in tokens. With $25 off the top going to blizzard.
But I’d love to live like you do where you think everyone tells the truth and sings and holds hands. Would be nice.
You can’t say they profit then immediately one paragraph later say that they don’t profit. The cognitive dissonance necessary to hold both of those beliefs must be deafening.
Not sure why you brought up tokens? Is that just supposed to be a reason you don’t believe blizz? Did i ever say it was blizzard’s take on hack prevention that i believe? You spoke alot for me there, yikes.
I’ll keep a handle on reality over here, you just keep saying “blizz lies, trust me” and making up things i didn’t say. Thats totally a logical grip on reality.

Put an altitude kill box.
If you’re above or below the playable area you die and are flagged for review. Above or below enough times and your Bnet gets deleted.
Other games have used it for years; why blizz hasn’t yet makes you wonder.
The token is an example of how blizzard just tells blatant lies.
When did I say they lose money on hack detection. I said it should be treated like an expense just like paying their electric bill, when you run an online game. I don’t need to say “they lie trust me”. It’s more like “they lie, watch the vod”.
But like I said continue being a blizzard shill and pretending they are here for the players, trust me they are here for the dollars at every turn. Which again is totally fine for a business but don’t lie to yourself thinking they will spend what they need to spend to combat the bots.
They realized players tolerate the bots and still pay a sub, so why do they care.
Apart from your typical rogue move to attack afk people n avoid active ones, assuming it came from an automation, it’s surely ban-able.
You said it right here. Just after you said.
You don’t need to get your information from blizzard if you don’t believe them. Pointing the finger and saying “look blizz lies about something else completely unrelated” doesnt mean a thing. There is plenty of publicly available information out there from third parties that can help you understand why ban waves occur as they do. Aside from heavily intrusive client-side protection, there isn’t a final solution that you can just throw money at. I now know you cant understand what goes into combatting bots at all, which is why you’re reduced to contradicting yourself immediately and calling me a shill.
I attack everybody.
If you AFK in a contested(or hostile territory) you deserve the walk back.
Bullcrap, only weaksn cowards attack AFKs.

AFK stands for “A Free Kill”.

Addons and weakauras cannot automatically cast spells. casting spells is a protected api call that can only be used when handling a hardware even (a click or a button press)
who’s gonna waste time doing nothing but spamming such a macro? sure you won’t miss the kick, but you won’t do anything else either, AFAIK in classic only mages have a kick that’s not on the GCD meaning that for you to not miss the kick you can’t be using gcd abilities

I apologise you dont see the potential, this was only an example of a single use. I was intentionally leaving out details to prevent expanded use.
Im not entirely sure you are equipped to decide appropriate use, expanded or otherwise.
Do you believe all it takes to ban an account is visual observation? Have you even considered the legal ramifications of having a gm that just says, “trust me bro”?
Easiest way to say you have no clue about legal consumer rights, this and all of your subsequent posts.
Clearly you haven’t read the TOS.
If you’re concerned about being banned for botting and hacking then dont cheat anywhere near me; I have a near 100% confirmed bot and cheater kill rate on bans. Real GM’s are better than me.
TL;DR, do not cheat.
I’m saving all my messages from blizzard confirming my kills.

Lucky for you, no addon is capable of doing this in combat.

You’re slightly mistaken on how this is achieved.
90% of the commercially available bots and all of the Chinese bots are using a thing called a Lua unlocker. This allows addons to access protected Lua functions (protected means only usable by the client)
From that point, yes, Lua scripting language is injected into an addon and provides functionality to the bot.
I screen shot them. I’m so prolific that they send me an in game pop up on a certain character (not this guy) saying thank you and then saying they can’t tell me who… Tho I know because I dont report often, but when I do I get results. I’m especially Good at detection of cheating because I actually know how the game plays and should operate. Its not a difficult thing for seasoned and relaxed players to detect and wreck cheaters.
The only people who would object are cheaters or people who aren’t actually in tune with the game’s rules and how these classes play.
It’s wild when people lie about “abusing {Tradeskills you also have)” to get double firey at level 20 and you know exactly what the mats cost and know how much time you’ve spent farming just to get your Prof around 100 pts higher than they’re ciaiming to use and make bank with.
Yeah, tons of liars who just buy gold on fresh realms. I find it amusing because they are usually the first to cry about gdkp and then out the other side of their mouth say “buying gold hurts no one”…
