Are there really 1500+ bots in BRD? Here's a breakdown, you decide

You’re lying then, not surprising.

I doubt blizzard will do anything to actually stop the bots and at least on my server I’ve been hearing a lot of people complaining about the lack of bots, the price of major mana pots has been goin to around 7g each since there seemed to have been some ban waves the other month, before the ban wave we had stacks of major mana pots going for 3g a stack.

I wish blizzard hired more people to actually just look into and ban bots instead of just leaning on the player base for reports but that would take money and blizzard really is a small, tiny indie company who couldn’t possibly afford to hire people…

I’m not your unpaid research assistant.

I suppose that you’re the hero we deserve.

There is nothing wrong with reporting folks who openly abuse the EULA and admit to account sharing.

Someone wants a better game, a game on a more even playing field. They actually are the hero we deserve.

Every time I remove someone from my uBlock script, I always end up regretting it. Oh well, lesson learned:

Actions Taken to Address Exploitative Gameplay

We’ve recently completed a round of actions against players who were found to be cheating in World of Warcraft. We rarely communicate publicly about this, because we’ve found that describing our sources and methods can make it easier for malicious actors to work around them, but we feel that it’s worthwhile to expand on the subject today, as many players have recently asked us for more details. Including today’s actions, over the last month in the Americas, Oceania, and Europe regions, we’ve c…

What bots/hacks are allowed?

No hacks or cheats are allowed. Our anti-cheat team takes action against botters and hackers 24/7, and every time I’ve asked them “how many botters were actioned yesterday?”, the number is always in the thousands. That’s a global number, by the way. Our anti-cheat team focuses on popular botting spots, especially areas that are commonly reported by players. For example, Dire Maul has been one such area for cheaters, so a lot of attention from my colleagues has been put on Dire Maul recently. P…

[CS Lounge] I will roll, roll through the gates of Torghast

I actually get a notification when someone quotes me (huzzah new forum), so I actually have seen a number of the posts you made in those. I commend your efforts, though the naysayers tend to be unconvinced without direct evidence and since we tend not to provide publicly… that can be a bit challenging. I wish I could show folks the emails that I see weekly, of ban waves that happen as well as the efforts overall for prevention, detection, etc… There are also those that wouldn’t believ…

account sharing

Some people would consider reporting people for account sharing to be an act of economic privilege.

Not me, but some people.

The only two boomers I play with are both mages and farm their own gold. There are few GenX gamers like me in guild and the rest are all millennials and kids 15 to 21 ish… there are hundreds of players in our guild but most are very young. Those that buy gold seem to be associated with no special age group, it’s very much average in terms of people who do it, mostly it’s the raid loggers who do it.

Bliz is like the normal Asian game makers now, bots are great and make us money. They don’t even need Gm’s to ban them, i’m sure they have a form of anti cheat but just like Counter strike, they do delayed bans. If they ban someone instantly they won’t pay more money to come back. Our world is corrupt so we better get used to it. It’s all about the dollars.

Zoomers are going to have a rough life. They got played. They have no idea how to live in the real world. A gender studies degree will not take them very far. Maybe if they have enough brains and money in the bank they will buy a nice tent because that will be their home soon.

Do tell, this future you predict sounds like an interesting place. If there is one thing I have come to realize it’s interesting times aren’t that fun to live in.
