Bots auto-stealth when targeted

Well they can’t farm while stealthed :slight_smile:

protip, target all the bots, i.e. use a targeting addon or make a quick macro to target next player to cycle through and target all the bots. Prevent them from doing what they were doing because they are now just stuck sitting in stealth unable to attack mobs, pick herbs, or whatever, otherwise they break their stealth.

Literally one person can completely shut down a bot farm by simply target cycling through the bots.

nah…one is a player doing what ALL of us can do and are allowed to do.
Another is a cheating jerk that doesnt really want to PLAY the game.

I been saying this for months how are they doing this?

They do I’ve seen it many times already.

This seems useful if they’re herb farming bots, if that’s a thing… but mostly worthless if they’re mob/skin bots.

Actually, I did see bots at the Mists LFR NPC doing something dodgy earlier this year.
So theyre running from that NPC over to the one vendor…selling their booty I assumed. Then theyd run back in a “V” shape pattern every single time, instead of a straight line like any real player would, and disappear at the LFR NPC again.

I sat there reporting them over and over when theyd stand still for a second.
Got the note they’d been dealt with (the joke form letter, I should say), but they did disappear for a few days.
Then they came back…and this time theyd stand ON the NPCs so it was harder for me to target them. Id click but Id only get the LFR panda instead of the botter.
Easy enough to get around since they had to move, but that seemed like someone trying to get around me targeting them.
Looks like they may have finallly figured it out

So … all of us can press 1 button and control 5 windows with it? All of us are allowed to circumvent individual play by using software to simulate keystrokes on windows we aren’t actually controlling? Nope … you are wrong. And that is cheating.

literally LOL, dude.
YES…YOU CAN box. I know…I have ONE PC here that is stock crap with an $80 video card and 16 gb ram, lol. I can quad box without breaking a sweat. The launcher can run EIGHT games at once. And no…i dont use AnY outside 3rd party addons or apps. Its called ‘macros’.
You CHOOSE not to box. THATS why you dont. Same with us all.
And blizzard has said VERY clearly that it doesnt violate the TOS.
So this discussion is literally over

lol … you missed the point. But that’s no surprise. You will defend your right to cheat at all costs. So yes you are correct this discussion is over.

lmao…Im correct because ANYONE CAN box who CHOOSES to…and the GAME MAKER says its NOT a violation of the ToS…so this absurd assertion of cheating is just that…absurdity.

You dont get to CHOOSE not to drive a car then tell me I cant either.

It would be hilarious if this is how true AI arises.

WoW will be assimilated

:laughing:
With a horrible irony being that the illegal bots are actually FAR more intelligent than the IN GAME Hunter pets.

Yo can I borrow that auto-stealth mod for when my girlfriend’s husband gets home?

Seems like this would make them easier for a gm to identify them.
