Bots bots and more bots

Herbalism bots plaguing BFA

I’m sorry, but the suggestion that bots help Blizzard make money or can be viewed by the company as even remotely positive is laughably ridiculous. Such an idea illustrates a fundamental lack of understanding of who these people are. First and foremost, the majority of botting/farming accounts are exploitative. They are usually compromised accounts (meaning they’ve been stolen from normal players, often who are currently inactive so aren’t aware of the theft), or they are created with stolen c…

Edit:
I’m not defending GDKP, btw. I can’t stand it. Just saying it wouldn’t do what you’re suggesting it would.

GDKPs have been a thing since the start of Classic in 2019.

Bots were around in 2006

The last reduction in force for the CS department was in 2012.

Bots make it nearly impossible to level mining. Clearly Blizzard just wants us all to skip gathering professions and buy gold. At this point, they might as well just bring the WoW token to Classic.
