This was poor wording on my part. I said âcoming from the same IP or with the same credentials for payment.â I should have said âcoming from the same IP and with the same credentials for payment.â
This is what I meant by flagging the account and monitoring the activity. If itâs an erroneous occurrence, or if itâs something innocuous that a player is doing that doesnât really have any advantage or allow any exploits(e.g. clipping through Stormwind to get underneath it, where you canât really do anything except run around empty space until you get back into the city, or exit to the water outside the city), then the activity will show this.
Though, if itâs innocuous activity thatâs repeatedly flagging the system, Iâd probably recommend giving the player a warning about it first and foremost, then a temporary suspension before a perma-ban.
Aside from the obvious bigotry, youâre pointing at the wrong continent.
Wont argue with that. That wont resolve botting and rmt problem but will definitely help with little to no downsides.
In eu we have similar problem with rusian infestation. That reminds me of good old times when rusians were not allowed to play with other countries
Can a statement of fact be considered bigotry? This is the not the first game being ruined by these types of players. Youâre fooling yourself if you think there is a worse offender, and even if there was, you being afraid to admit it for the same thing you accused me of is suspect and cowardly.
Youâve certainly earned your reputation.
n e t - e a s e has the code, has the whole game. The ro b o t s come from the same devs of that c o u n t r y
A large proportion of botting these days comes from India or eastern Europe and Russia. At least one FSB Bear team openly admitted to using gold farming as a funding stream.
So weird how Americans seem to homogenize âforeignersâ
Arguing about who does it more is irrelevant, imo. If a region lock needs to go somewhere else, too, then great.
Imagine a far left Redditor Karen on steroids.
Aside from the âLets just ban everyoneâ including that thereâs bot farms in the US, identifying an endpointâs country isnât simple magic like you seem to think.
My PC regularly exists in the UK, Germany, the US, and locally.
South America has really gotten into the game the last five years.
Chinaâs economy, until very recently, was booming and really cut down on the percentage of bots from there.
Region locking is not âbanningâ, and there is plenty of evidence all over the internet of one particular perpetrator that has been doing it for over a decade. If you have more evidence to give, then by all meansâŚ
The saddest of nomenclature quibbles.
If by âoneâ you mean china, that wasnât true for the last decade, but was for the decade before that. Gotta keep up with the changing face of cheating.
Me too. I never see all these bots on the Horde side.
I see someone saying they think they know more about something than someone else, and with nothing to back it up.
But thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Ahh I see you found a mirror.
Look up Venuzuelan gold farming. Someone even posted a guide to it, in one of their local news papers.
Cute. xoxoxoxo
