Bot tanks in Timewalking?

honestly, i play a tank in timewalking and i never pay attn to the team.

i can solo the whole dungeon by myself, so i just play my own game. if the team keeps up, that’s cool, but if not, i don’t really care.

personally, i wish i could just walk into the timewalking by myself and solo it without having to queue in LFG because having the group there is basically just a detriment to me.

That would be one of the “hands free” player bots
Not one of the common gold farming bots

It’s players being lazy and using bots to play the game for them

Players will buy/rent bots to do everything in game for them

Yes, players will risk it all to use bots to play for them

both assisted and “hands free”

I originally thought this was happening, and was a little hurt cause I thought the tank was like purposely trying to outrun me to make some sort of point of not needing a healer. But then someone in the party said “Lft” and when I showed up he kept running back and forth to the start of the tunnel straight into a wall, and then back to the start of the tunnel again, and back into a wall.

Unless it was one very confused person, I’m pretty sure it was a bot.

This is the conclusion I eventually came to as well, that some lazy people probably didn’t feel like sitting through 5 timewalking dungeons so they just use a bot to run their tank through it instead.

I imagine it wouldn’t work on any other role simply because you have to follow the tank or you die, where as the tank everyone follows you.

I’m going to guess… Blizz doing TBC follower-dungeon testing on one specific shard during TW.

Please just record it and show us, it will end all this speculation.

Use Twitch or OBS, they are dirt simple to get working, and then we can all see what you are seeing.

I have OBS ready, I’m probably gonna be running them again tonight until I get a certain item from Magister’s terrace then I will update this thread with the video if I see another

I maybe had a bot yesterday in mana tombs. Tank kept pulling, a DPS asked him to slow down so he could loot, DPS got no response. I know no one usually communicates in these dungeons, but the tank was acting as you’ve described :woman_shrugging:. Run went smoothly, so no complaints.

What qualifications do you have to know who’s a bot? Do you have any experience in this area?

Yeah it’s hard to mess it up considering I’ve seen some tanks just solo the whole dungeon by themselves, and who am I to complain about a free run lol Just didn’t know if anyone else had experienced something similar.

Bless your heart child. lol

Translation: “no, I have no experience in identifying bots. I’m just throwing wet noodles at the wall because a tank didn’t respond to me and he auto looted stuff.”

Eeehhh, what they described there sounded more like a reset location. The things used in escort quests and such. NPC gets in aggro range, sprints off to fight, sprints back to their rail.

I don’t think there are bots of a noticeable degree in Timewalking but I feel it’s putting head in the sand to not properly have discussion and dismiss it as someone just playing beyond your comprehension.

Actual Translation: No, I’m not humoring the 10 trolling account.

The only troll here is you claiming that bots are tanking TW’s. lol

This sounds like something a bot would say… :thinking:

Yeah, I’ve been confused by this reaction because I’ve certainly seen them. I originally wasn’t going to say something but I was just curious if anyone else had noticed it.

Yawn okay your trolling boring now. Good day.

Seen a lot more of that this week than I have normally. We did wipe a couple times in magisters Terrace because the tank would pull all the mobs up to the boss.

I also feel like they upped the difficulty in timewalking with this patch too

you know they may just be new players who never did timewalk and don’t know the dungeons, they certainly aren’t bots.

Wow. People like their cheap materials so much they would go deep in denial about bots (in general). Insane.

Here buddy. While it’s not dungeons, here you can see something that is heavily automated.
