Blizzard, do something about the hundreds of level 16 rogue bots in SFK

If at any point you type /who rogue 16 Shadowfang (especially on horde side), your search window will be full of rogue bots with gibberish names who are going inside of Shadowfang Keep and are using teleport/flight hacks to open the chests in there.

RMT and botting is Aggrend’s vision for all of WoW

Between this and their horrid balancing act, it might be time to find someone else to run this ship.

I went to SFK and it is exactly like it was outside of Hellfire Ramparts in TBC. Low level rogues in stealth appearing to drop down from the sky in front of the portal. All turning and entering back in after the dungeon reset to go farm chests from under the map.

How there isn’t one single GM that can take 10 sec for each one to see what they are doing and just ban them is beyond me.

Not to mention that they make it hard to report someone whose character isn’t in draw distance of you so you gotta catch them in the 2 seconds that they are outside of the instance and hope you are fast enough to report them and then hope that the report function doesn’t bug out because they are inside of an instance by the time you submit the report

How hard is it to just detect if someone is out of bounds, and just disconnect them and port them back to the entrance of the dungeon, hello?

On Alliance side /who stockade shows another rogue army.

Players thinking that blizzard would implement anything to stop botting in SoD when bots are STILL destroying Classic Era or the fact players are STILL paying Blizzard to do nothing and just cope…

(who is aggrend?

He’s the incompetent lead dev who plays a ret paladin and clout chases with streamers.

oh. i never heard of him before now. ty for info

I agree! Though they would have to make the bounds detection a little lenient since it’s currently possible to accidentally fall out of SFK. Or they could just add more invisible walls. (Unless they already added an invisible wall when I wasn’t looking…)

Happened to a priest in a SFK run on my unofficial hardcore hunter a while ago.

I mean, wouldn’t you WANT to be dced and sent back to the start rather than fall and die? I didnt say auto ban

I feel like it should just flag your account if it happens once, then if it keeps happening over and over something should be done about it. Especially since they use teleport hacks to get to places (you can see how they do it in other videos on youtube).

Next “season”, build two sets of servers. One with the WoW Token enabled, and the other where bots and gold buyers are aggressively policed.

Then move gold buyers to the WoW Token set whenever they get caught, and remove all their gold.

I don’t really care about you wasting your money but I care when the economy is so destroyed that people are buying blues for more than an epic mount, at L25.

yeah prices for items are raising badly

by the time s2 starts some ppl will have thousands of gold

Some people already have that much lol

Yeah , well at 40 CAP we will get what 10g for each quest if not more

Email the report in hacks@blizzard.com to report. Its not as easy and blizzard should really just handle this themselves but it does allow you to report all the lv 16 rouges.
