I’m standing at ZG entrance, watching at least 30-50 mages on auto-scripts zoning in and out, solo, all guildless, bot-geared mages, with exactly the same step-routine moving in and out, same time-delay between movements etc. (ie. bot)
So uhh, Instance limit has done nothing but affect legit players…
Bot bans do nothing but cause them to buy/steal more accounts as theyre too few and far between (the bans)
Soooo… Good job blizzard?
This is why the original design of the instance limit included raids.
#ShutdownWoW
Just make it so mages cant zone into ZG unless they are supervised by 5 other adults, problem solved.
Blue response please, (hahaha I know, I must be dreaming right)
Well, ZG isn’t a 40-man raid, so they’re limited to 30 per day.
They’re just doing 30 a day then swapping over to another account doing another 30, etc. and so on.
So it hardly makes a dent in the problem though? Other than Blizzard earning more money from bots using more accounts than before.
ZG is still included though…
Incorrect.
They do 30 per day on ServerA, then simply swap to ServerB and do 30, etc. Same account.
The 30 per day did pretty much nothing to combat botting, in fact it likely resulted in MORE bots on servers since they have to spread out more. Instead, it punished real players.
Only logical thing to do is delete all gold from the game and blizz start selling gold directly to players at dirt cheap prices. No token. No brokering RMT’ERS sales.
Boom. Problem solved. No more bots.
You’re welcome blizz. Send me a meager percentage. Not too much though. I don’t want to take food from Bobby.
How many of them have you reported?
I Sat there for an hour right-click reporting each and every one of them as they zoned out and in again (zone out, 5 second wait, 180degree spin, run forwards 5 yards exactly, stop, wait 3 seconds exactly, then walk another 3 yards into the portal). on Repeat,
As I’m ally and they were 90% on horde side I tried killing as many of them as possible too.
They don’t react or fight back, other than their scripts automated triggering of ice-block when their hp gets to a certain %.
I’ve been right-click reporting them for days/weeks/months, and i know many others especially in my guild do the same whenever we’re there too but if anything there are MORE of them now than ever before, so it hardly does anything.
all it takes is a new account at $15 a month to sub to classic its not like they have to buy an expansion for $40 every time.
banning bots wont do anything because its just a sub for classic wow.
Insulting people and then deleting your post isn’t the masterplan you think it is.
The truth isn’t an insult.
That’s a strange thing to say considering your constant disregard for the truth…
Take a step back and look at the bigger picture, these issues are more complex than your understanding of them.
Compromised accounts or not, Blizzard still receiving subscription money for those extra accounts being used by bots and not real players. Some will be reclaimed later sure, not before they’ve been used for a while though.
Stolen credit cards or not, Blizzard still receiving subscription money for those extra accounts. Some may reclaim credits back from their credit card companies sure, many will not though.
SUBSCRIPTION NUMBERS boost their reports, make them look better, and lead to more investment, so… more money, potentially short-term, but since when have they cared about anything else.
You know nothing Jon,
They have been consistent with their stance on bots and revenue forever.

What subscription numbers? The subscription numbers they no longer report to investors?
lol
Whether they report their sub numbers or any other metric they use; the metric is still inflated and the revenue is still there and I think that was the point he was trying to make.
I’ll try linking this again in the hopes that some people do actually read it. Expand the post and read the entirety of it:
