When classic started i seen 1 or 2 fish botters but now i see rugged leather bots every where.

Reporting doesn’t seem to even register to Blizzard unless it’s a mass report. I’m not sure what the minimum number of reports is before Blizzard actually looks at the specific player - or before it automatically suspends - but it certainly takes more than one person reporting. I remember a streamer had his viewers all report him for something stupid all at once and it auto-banned his account; he called out Blizzard for not ever looking at reports.

How the hell do you identity a fish bot?
If I’m fishing somewhere talking to guild members in discord, and don’t bother responding to a random player whispering me, I guess you’re gonna report me as a bot? I tend to ignore chat when I’m looking for herbs or fishing.
Now this is important for you to wrap your head around, I’m not defending boting.
I’m just trying to make you realize you just might be wrong, and no action has been taken because you’re reporting people that are actually farming. And your wasting Blizzards time with your inaccurate reporting.
But my question remains, how do you ID a fishing bot?

Fishing bots are very simple to identity there quicker at the recast and don’t stop at all.
Thay all so run to the mail box using the same route.
Ooo yes there fishing 24/7.
“Given up”? Did they ever announce that they would attempt to remove all botters from Classic? You can’t “give up” if you aren’t attempting something.
In my opinion, this is impossible. “Removing this scum” is impossible. It’s easy to say, but computers can’t do it. It can only be done by a huge number of humans, working tirelessly 24/7. Remember they can’t ban every player that “you think might be a bot”. That’s crazy. I’ve been reported as a bot. Lots of people have. So each ban follows a long human activity.
I think you’re asking way too much from a $15/mo game. For the most part, things that can’t be automated can’t be done. Otherwise the price has to go up (how about $75/mo) or Blizzard loses money.
It’s extremely easy for a GM to do; they pick up the player and place them 20-30 yards away and see where the player returns to. If they return to the exact same place over and over, it’s a bot.
But that would require GMs to exist.
Blizzard is full of greedy rats
