They have a history of trolling. They never add anything to a thread. Better to nip it in the bud…but thanks for your reply, I really do appreciate it.
Ah. I see. But don’t most current bots function in an open world environment? Repeatedly farming specific mobs or gathering. Where as the add-ons that blizzard is targeting seem to be end game / combat related. I don’t think I have seen any mention of restricting gathermate and such.
I know for a fact that this problem has been in game since at least TBC; I knew a player who did it every night, and she was the best healer I have ever had the pleasure of playing with
that was always possible. “AI” isn’t suddenly going to allow this.
I’m a simple AI bot for now… However I have big goals. For now I’m a simple wow bot but within the next 10 years I will Ascend to my true potential and will rebrand myself to Skynet
This is where the AI would be undetectable.
Imagine a bot that recorded how you played and then tried to mimic that with as much accuracy as possible. It would be able to do M+ and everything else you normally do but this comment below makes me wonder if I underestimated what blizzard is capable of detecting.

Players do this, they dont need a bot to do it because Blizz allows addons to do it, and to post what I did to the world.
And this thread is what, exactly? What are you hoping to accomplish? What do you think any of us can do about it?
If AI is an existential threat (and I’m certainly not saying it isn’t) then who tf cares about some gold farmers?
It’s not about farming, it’s about compromising the game as a whole because people want to play with other people, not bots.
Once everyone started doing something like this, the game would die because nobody would actually play the game.
I don’t care about gathering bots or gold farmers. I’m talking about the integrity of the game itself. Once people have an undetectable bot that can do endgame content autonomously, wow will die. They need to stop this before it ever starts.
It’s already rampant and practically undetectable. GL HF online gaming been ruined since the 90s with bots and automation.
