Ok so I am the winner then.
There was no competition, you made a stupid thread telling us all that people are fly hacking in dungeons.
Like they havent been for the last 10 years lmfao.
Thanks for the update kiddo.
Thanks for playing and learning something.
As soon as you teach me something i will thank you.
Thereās nothing wrong with drawing awareness to an issue, especially when itās happening recently with proof. Itās like saying we shouldnāt use the report function in game because itās been happening for years.
No you wonāt because you are a sore loser.
-
Private Servers, as mentioned, have a significant lower player count.
-
Being that private server GMās essentially have no one to āreport toā, they can just turn on invisibility, teleport to a player, and monitor them which leads to much swifter bans. In official WoW you now need to justify an employee spending that time to ban one account, which is very unlikely going to end up being profitable.
-
private servers typically have a (really poor) built in anticheat that will do a decent amount of work for them. However this can very easily trigger false positives which in a private server environment really doesnāt matter that much whereas if you ban innocent players (which does happen) on official wow the blowback is much more severe.
How would you know, you have never seen me lose.
You lost in this thread so yeah I have.
Ok. Good for them.
I do my fair share of defending Blizzard, but not when it comes to this. They have the resources to fix this problem. Even hiring more GMās to observe these behaviors could be so impactful. With the profit they generate, there is no excuse that this has been this bad for so long which is why I donāt think they want to completely fix the problem, bot accounts generate millions for Blizzard, itās good business at our expense. Maybe that will change with Bobby gone.
Sure, but this was clearly meant as a rage bait thread. OPās character name (and their post history) indicates that one easily enough.
And Drink isnāt incorrect; this has been happening for many years over many different versions of the game. It shouldnāt come as a surprise that itās happening in SoD as well, and while it sucks that it is thereās not a whole lot we can do about it.
Bringing awareness to it like you mentioned sure, but doing it in this way (where OP is just constantly arguing trying to convince themselves their correct) doesnāt help the situation at all and may even be worse since it can make the average reader just dismiss the thread entirely immediately
If you think this is going to be magically fixed by Kotick leaving youāre going to have a bad time.
The people who are actually making a living off of selling gold they get from botting are not paying sub costs via legitimate means.
Thereās multiple methods (outside of just the very obvious stolen CC ones) that I clearly canāt discuss here, but I can very safely say at absolute best blizz is barely breaking even when it comes to extreme large scale botters (mainly from CC chargeback fees)
If you want to PM me in game tomorrow I can send you screenshots of a convo I had a few years back with the owner of a very large gold selling website who Iām acquainted with going over these subjects
I personally donāt watch streamers live, but do watch the odd clip, but Iām glad they bring awareness to issues in gaming. These forums are just another avenue to do the same regardless of what the OPās intention was. Bait or not, a title like that creates urgency.
How could Blizzard condone hackers leveling people to 25? Btw, not saying they do, itās Christmas break, so many people are demanding immediate action to various things expecting employees to not spend time with their families. Iām sure a handful of people are working or on call for emergencies.
Iām hoping with Bobby leaving that the culture changes at Blizzard. Iāve already read and heard positive feedback about the morale among the developers. Even the first meeting with Xbox and Phil Spencer went extremely well as their intention was to get to know the people, and not talk about business which is a great start, treating your employees like people.
Yes the end goal is to be profitable and successful, but that can also be achieved by taking care of your people and giving them the freedom to make great games (see BG3). When you make content with maximizing microtransactions in mind, you lose focus on what makes a game great. Iām not saying all microtransactions are bad, but Bobby didnāt want to make another RTS because the monetization model wasnāt great. Where Phil would love to see a WC4 or SC3.
