I’m just explaining why sub prices haven’t gone up. The majority of their funding comes from purchases like that. They also deliberately design and balance the game around these purchases.
It’s a fairly popular opinion, actually.
Personally, I view the sub as to Classic only. Blizzard would have pay me to play retail, so even 50¢ a day is too much.
Yes. Like many industries, people desire companies to take a cut of their profits to improve quality.
The higher quality product resulting from their care might actually yield greater interest in the game. “Wow, an MMO that actually cares about the botting problem. Maybe I’ll play it.”
They’d make more money by banning them sooner. They get the money no matter how much time the bot actually spends botting (so long as that time isn’t more than 1 month, obviously).
Might as well ban them immediately so the bot buys a sub on a new account.
In the large scale of things, Blizzard will do the minimum in order to keep their WoW Classic player base to the point where those players are already accepting the introduction of WOW TOKEN.
Because, think about it guys, the miracle solution is WoW Tokens.
We all know it is not the miracle solution, it is simply the easiest way for them to maximize their quarterly profits.
Spread the word, BLIZZARD INACTION TOWARDS BOTS IS TO SLOWLY AND CREEPINGLY MAKE WOW TOKENS ACCEPTABLE TO THE PLAYERS.
You’d think the guy teleporting would send out huge alarms. Like i get that sometimes bots arent easy to find because they are programmed to change routes so that they look like theres a chance they could be players
I don’t see bots, I see engineers, alchemists, miners and herbalists. People who do the jobs that nobody wants to do themselves. They’re an integral part of the community.
I didn’t even know that the game had “integrity”. I don’t know what that means. But whatever it is, I miss it.
I don’t believe this. I think this is made-up.
Blizzard has a team working against bots every day of the year. The idea that they only work on bots occasionally is false.
But they don’t tell YOU about it. You are the public. You don’t tell the public all the details, because doing that also tells the cheaters. Rule 1 of every fight is not to tell the enemy what you are doing.
It has been posted and checked many times. Bots make a substantial amount of blizzard subscription revenue.
We see that rather than remove bots, Blizzard updates the game to require more bots in order do what bots do. For example, the recent 30 day instsnce limit was crafted in a way to require botters operate more accounts to service their needs.
Remember, Vanilla WoW had 1 company alone with 400k bot accounts. Imagine what it is now and what that revenue means to Blizzard.
