Hello I hardly ever write any posts but today I cannot stand simply still and watch these bots go on without stopping to notice their moonfire and starfall spams. As well as their very obvious bot rotation patterns around a tree. Please if anyone is watching it might be on your realm right now. The world quest Our Heart Will Go On and calling in Ardenweald today has brought them to my realm, from Area 52 or Tich for example. These actions are causing some lag around this quest area with so many people already in this zone due to callings. All I can do is report and unfortunately they do not run wm onā¦ This is happening around the Heartwood Grove, using players who are doing the quest to hyperspawn.

I was leveling alts with my wife and parts of the main quest line take place around that specific tree. The boomkins were causing so much lag that I ended up going from 80% health to dead before the server could catch up.
I reported the players through the in-game tool for automation of in game actions. Later the same day I received in game mail from blizzard stating that they had taken actions against at least one of the accounts.
It is getting really absurd with how blatant the botters are being. They find a hyper spawn point and then throw literally dozens of druids at it making the game nearly unplayable for everyone else, and definitely making the main campaign hard to progress when all the quest mobs are instantly tagged for an opposing faction.

And I thought blizzard wanted to resolve any issue that was caused by bots in bfaā¦ Iām saddened that their actions are causing issues for players like causing you to be dead. And they ruin the economies on all realms. This simply has to stop and be looked into further, because no legitimate player should be hindered by a couple of two spell druid spamming bots with no purpose other then to plunge markets.

I saw some new bear tank bots todayā¦and I mean 2mins ago. Would be nice if blizzard tried to stop botting.
They do but
Thatās their only goal in life, not the āIām gonna bot because I donāt know how to make gold otherwiseā regular players but the big botting organizations. Their only priority is circumventing whatever Blizzard comes up with.
Whenever I see them I just try to tag everything theyāre fighting with mass AoE spam and let them do my quests or level me up 
Continuing the discussion from Bots, Bots and more Bots(Boomkins):
Bots are destroying the game on many levels. step up with more aggressive measures to battle these parasites.

There is two huge groups of Boomkins botting on Mannoroth at Elā dranil Shallows in Azsuna right now.
This is pretty wild, theres got to be at least 30-45 of them right now on Tich.
Itās fascinating how many people get their noses out of joint about bots.
Im not sure if Iāve ever posted on these forums, but Iāve run into 2 groups of bots so far in the past 2 days. Always druids, always balanceā¦never fails. The most recent one is Troll Druids in Torgaās Rest in BFA. Made a report but againā¦will unlikely stop them. Itās killing the game really. Iām thinking that there should be a 1 druid per account rule. I know that wonāt be popular, but druid botting would become much more expensive. Iām sorry for the rant, it just gets under my skin.

Iāll assume you mean bnet account since they are already on different accounts, to which their response would be to just make many bnet accounts and you will have frustrated the playerbase to cause an ever so mild inconvenience of botters
That wasnāt a very thought out plan that I proposed. I reckon itās just the frustration talking.
Why not report them? Then move around them (if you can) and move one. Just make sure that you get the server names too.
Edit1: If Blizz really wants to get rid of them, put a bounty on them. For every actionable report you will get a bind-on-account box that has some loot in it with a chance of some nice gear, mount, pet or toy (gear would still be BOA). If Blizz did this, then the bots would be hunted. all. the. time.

Banned from Blizzard services for exploiting, what do they do now? Get a new bank card will take time and will just get banned as well, PayPal takes (took when I set mine up in 2012) 2 days to deposit that 2 cents in the account so you can prove itās yours, I donāt think it would stop them but I do think it would slow them down more than the current system.
