Bots in bg's

???

It’s not trolling if you pretend to be dumb every single day. Are you suggesting that bots are allowed within the tos and thus allowed to be in a bg?

“We don’t make money off the WoW Token.” - Mike Ybarra, Blizzard President.

They say a lot of nonsense. Just like the monthly Blue posts about banning 100k bot accounts. It’s all BS.

Wait what??? They actually said they didn’t make money off the token? I have to imagine there is some kind of context to that statement.

Anyone have a link to where that was quoted?

We’re all confused that $20 is more than $15, apparently. And then the even more hilarious “It’s the only thing that stops RMT.”

When the enemy also has 5 bots in a wsg they are handing you the win which still doesn’t feel good as it makes the game feel like PVE.

If someone in a bg tells you “Farm Inc” and you get offended by that, then /ignore them if you can’t handle it. How is it a hot take that I want PVP to be PVP. I honestly enjoy BG’s when 10 real players go against 10 real players.

Agreed looking forward to it.

The random BGers like me aren’t suddenly going to start going LF group WSG in chat; not for very long. There’s a reason we stick to the queue system.

Cata random BGs are going to deteriorate into 90-99% Bots.

Yep it sucks… and there are even games now that are 90% npc/ai/robots it’s awful. Mainly 5x rogues or 5x pallies auto follow with no gear on or afk in back of map (afk report button does nothing as most of them run scripts to prevent being afk reported) Looking at you Ambushlord1,2,3,4,5 who has been afk in starting tunnel 100% of our AV’s for 3 months. I just wish is could be fixed but as per my original post but I’m not really expecting it just wanted to add to the hundreds of other posts drowning in the vashj’ir depths.

I mean, trying to join an RBG with your talents and gear would be pretty impossible yes. No one is going to sit there and watch their ele/enhancement hybrid try to WF crit people with a caster staff.

Good job removing your tank trinket though. Should aim for a trinket that gives you full benefit over an AP one but, it’s better than the tank one I’ll give you that.

What’s the point in having them queue-less to begin with?

That right there should be a bannable offense. You’re constantly monitoring what I’m doing in game and displaying it on the forums. That for me is tantamount to naming names in the forums which is against the rules. I’m no longer reporting you because clearly, they don’t know what ill-behavior is when its present.

It’s so nice to play Isle of conquest just to see 2 bots enter 2 demos from workshop and sit there shooting at nothing while you basically auto lose because there’s no way to get them out of the demo’s and they won’t be kicked for being afk.

I’d really like Blizzard to actually start banning these accounts instead of just putting a blue post that claims they banned 50k accounts, bots are literally in every single bg I join and they need to all be banned. Blizzard should take the millions of dollars they’re making from bot accounts and hire GM’s again to go around banning bots its basically out of control.

Because RBGs are organized content, similar to organized raiding. The word organized is key here. Unorganized content is content that a system in game puts you in, like skirmishes, RDF, LFR, bgs, etc. These modes are not the highest level of their respective gameplay. RBG is the highest level of a bg you can do, just like rated arena, or heroic raids (LKC) or mythic for retail. Solo shuffle exists in retail, yes, but it is not solo into a 2s game or 3s game. Its is its own specific solo mode emulating a 3s game.

Which is fine, I like the system, but it’s being done in small numbers. 6 players total. RBGs is 30 total players. With the nature of wow, it would be effectively unplayable with a random system in place due to the game having so many classes and roles, and ever changing strats to counter current metas.

As much as you love to not acknowledge it, wow is still a social game, it is still an mmorpg, and the content you’re talking about is content that always has required organization in order to even stand a chance at competition. We’re talking about modes that have always assigned a number to your performance and your teams performance, and rewards the player correctly off of that.

If you want to solo, you can easily solo in the non ranked modes. If you want the ranked modes, womp womp, time for you to put on a shield and play an actual spec otherwise no one is going to invite you.

You can then turn and cry out for a solo mode, which you have. You can solo random bgs and see the exact same content. You just don’t get the rewards.

If only there was a wod system… But, you’d condemn it and call it retail at worst, or ignore it at best, just like every other time I’ve brought it up.

Yeah, you wanted my attention. Ironforgepro is no different to logs. No one has been banned for showing others logs. So, good luck.

This also ties into your selfishness. You know what you have for your character is bad, but you refuse to change it, and want to force yourself onto other players and waste their time because you refuse to be a team player. You are just a selfish person and don’t deserve to be in any content with anyone.

None of that changes anything.

The issue is about fair access for all.

No, your narrative is “fair access to all rewards”.

Which you do have, you can make your own group at any time and access all the content when you want. You refuse. You want a queue system that forces you into groups to get the same rewards of organized content without the organization.

Having done many, many LFRs, it is the absolute worst place to get gear because of one reason. It’s unorganized. Only after time has long passed does LFR finally get it right, which is your access to the content, and content alone. The gear is for players who actually put in effort.

Expand LFR to BGs as well. Same thing. You have the content with unrated. The rewards are for effort put in by organizing and actually trying.

I thought you said the content was so hard, random groups would never down it.

Suddenly it’s about the rewards? What would make you think that?

Since we’re in the BG thread, I’ll focus on bgs. Nothing mechanically is hard in bgs, as it’s PvP focused. You’re fighting players. The skill you need to surpass is always determined by the other player’s skill, class, spec, etc. It’s an ever changing variable.

You want a queue system for the highest level to unlock the highest gear. That is your stance on wanting queues for rated content.

If it was purely about access, you have no argument at all as bgs and skirmishes exist and those show you every map and every gamemode that is available to arena and RBGs. Even moreso than RBGs, as they are locked to 15v15.

Because that’s your stance.

That’s right.

The queue system is only for entry.

I’d still have to complete the content like any other group.

Everything you keep bringing up about skill, is irrelevant.

It’s the most relevant, because the content you’re wanting to do has a higher requirement outside of just pure gear.

To work with a team, you need to be a team player. You aren’t.

You’re also wanting a system that would randomly organize 30 people. No system in wow goes past 6, because this game is not an fps. It’s still an MMORPG with deeper and more intimate mechanics than “one shot head shot kills”, or the ability to solo carry, like fps’s can.

The basics of wow directly go against your idea, and it would in turn be an unplayable mess.

This is why the higher content requires premade groups. It has everything to do with skill, not just your ability to push buttons, but your ability to work with a team, which is a skill you drastically lack.

You’re just saying I’m not, based on my gear potential, not the actual merit of my actions.

That’s why you lost this argument before it ever started.

He’s saying you’re not a team player because you literally aren’t. One look at your spec and gear shows that you’ve put in 0 effort to try and play your class properly, and you feel entitled to be able to force yourself into groups so everybody has to deal with how useless you are.

Because anyone who inspects you, sees your gear, will instantly lose any and all trust they could have had for you as a player.

The only ones that don’t are the players who, they themselves, don’t care. Then you just have a group of you’s, a group of selfish individuals. They’re the ones wiping on trash and leaving the raid after.

Or in the context of bgs, especially rated, will just take the elo lose and leave mid game. Seen it many times with /2 RBGs.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
