Bots in botanica / Exploits

I remember back in classic all the mages fly hacking for Zul Gurub boosts, same thing in TBC, classes flying under dungeons for herbs / mines big in ShadowLabs. Maybe its hard for Blizz devs to determine who is a bot versus running an instance or practicing a new solo farm. One easy way for blizz to get rid of bots I have only checked US Benediction Alliance. /who 60-67 botanica. On my server and I guarentee many others you will see unguilded bots who fly under herbing throughout the instances, why is this easy to ban? Because you are unable to summon in Netherstorm so its not possible for a character below 68 to enter that instance (druids lvl 68 flight form) Clearly they are using the exploits to get into the instance and I could only imagine they are getting all the herbs inside. Will this ever be looked at? Most likely no, but I wanted to let the community know so if you ever see a 65 bot trying to zone in report them. Thanks all

More cheap herbs for me on the AH. Sweet.

Sorry blizzard doesn’t care about bots. They are too busy banning people afk in bgs and abusing Co workers

This guy gets it.

Exploiting isn’t a result of blizzards laziness in banning cheaters. It’s a result of them not upping natural resource rates in the open world. If herbs were more widely accessible, nobody would bother using these exploits to begin with.

Lost braincells reading this. Thanks.

Doubt it. Alliance bgs full of bots and afks.

Could be getting in there through warlock summons?

you cant summon in netherstorm unless its from summoning stone (not at dungeon entrance) Have to be atleast lvl 69 to be summoned. From there you have to fly to the instance.

You can only enter the dungeon by flyhacking if below 68 and non druid and / or rocketboots with slowfall from some locations I would assume. Obviously it’s the first as it is known that bots fly hack to and in dungeons.

Well if you argue with the right person they’ll report and blizzard won’t do anything about it.

Go outside of Botanica and kill those mages when they zone out. Shortly afer they die you will be able to target them again, they will be on a ground mount, and will see them float under the platform then drop down in front of the instance portal. I would guess that 99.999% of them fly hacked to get up there and they blatantly do it again in the open when they get killed and sent back down to the graveyard.

This is incorrect, there is a legitimate way to get into Bot on a non-druid level 68 character. All you need is engineering and noggenfogger/slowfall. Look it up on youtube, there’s plenty of videos showing how it’s done.

on private servers, they ban bots, sell gear in shop
on blizz, they ban /spit, sell game to bots, bots sell gold in their own shop

Just because there is a legitmate way to get there doesn’t mean that all or any of these characters are doing that. Take a look at this, kill one and within minutes they are back at Botanica riding their ground mounts through the air and clipping through the building to enter back in.

They do that infront of zul’farrak even. No shame no gain. Flyhacking bots just dropping infront of instances they have to go into. But blizz is working on a fix soon!!!

Same, jeus
