why do people that play this game thing CEO’s actually do anything when it comes to actual development? I bet he didn’t even know the names of his developers lol…
nothing is going to change, because the issues are the teams lower management, lack of staff and gms, they laid everyone off in aug 2019…everything is automated/outsourced.
apparently the hundreds of thousands of bots blizzard bans every wave were all paid for with stolen info, yet none of them buy out the token and the entire AH 
They’re obviously gentlemen thieves. They only steal the $15 and that’s it, duh. /s
Then the data doesn’t matter, because you wouldn’t take that at face value either.
As for why I accept what they say, it’s because when you consider the alternatives, the alternatives make less sense than Blizzard’s explanation. It’s also their game and therefore they are quite literally most qualified to know how this is all going down between them and botters. Anyone else is just guessing, realistically.
My wife submitted a grim reality this afternoon about bots… she said that it seems to her that the more bots take over the game and ban users (Bots Now Mass-Banning Players:) Blizzard would loose money. Thus forcing Blizzard to go bankrupt and or allowing for the company to be sold to china etc. My only suggestions, would be to either stay off the game, avoid gold buying and the AH, or report bots when you see them. otherwise we all can plan on having a grim future if the AI/bot world takes over world of warcraft. I’m merely posting what my wife said as I have no views on bots other than just report them because I don’t buy gold nor do I use the AH… But I do trust her view on this.
Blizzard just changed it so an account needs to use a full month of sub time before being able to use Tokens. So new accounts (so what botters are using, mostly) can’t use the token.
Ill believe it when i see it.
Microsoft isnt some savior that many like to think they are and never have been.
Yeah, this is a very recent change. What about prior to that though? The point Chairmon was trying to make still stands.
some of you need to go outside for real…take a break from video games…
What point? They’re only trying to make a profit, so what benefit is there to emptying out the auction house (it would likely only get them caught faster, it would look very strange)
Got any proof? Press X to doubt.
You are BEYOND incorrect. Insanely lol.
I mean, if you’re gunna go that far, prove it?
Because so far, many other people have very sound reasoning for why Blizzard doesn’t profit from bots…
That’s on him. He made the claim so.
No.
Prove to me that BLIZZARD DOES NOT MAKE MONEY OFF THE SUBS THE BOTS PAY.
Because we know they are paying. So, the ball is in your court. Tell me that Blizzard is losing money from bots existing in the game.
The reasoning for his claim has already been made in this thread. If you say he’s wrong, then the burden of proof falls on you, not him.
No. It’s not.
Whenever I say “no one is that dumb” I remember these forums exist. Some stances these people have is truly asinine and mind boggling.
Did you not read any other thread posts? Fine, I’ll re-summarize:
Botters are interested in maximizing profit. This is indisputable.
Paying for a sub legitimately runs too much risk due to the potential of getting banned before they profit more than they could sink in. Thus the alternatives they have are:
This is what logical reasoning brings us to. And it makes sense.
Paypal has declined all WoW account sub refunds since 2012. There are articles on this. Do some research.
Literally nothing changed
Found nothing, just a bunch of posts and articles basically all saying “You can perform a chargeback, PayPal will probably side with you, but Blizzard will ban your Battle.net account.” Which doesn’t mean much to botters…
