Bots will reign forever and we can't blame Blizzard

It’s a pretty big leap from “illegal things happen” to “the system profit’s from illegal things.”

They’d still need to reset

I honestly haven’t gone down the bot rabbit hole before even just for my own personal edification. I did just check a couple forums to learn about that Brd bot, and the most common thread is from people discussing how they got banned and how to try to avoid getting banned in the future. I don’t think you can argue Blizzard doesn’t ban, even aggressively, but from reading the back and forth on just these forums these guys are putting a lot of time and thought into beating their system. And its a big industry which means big $$$

And it’s interesting to see “abandon ship” messages like this. Clearly we’re not aware of what Blizzard is doing to fight bots behind the scene , but the “botting community” definitely seems to be.

@everyone Transfer your characters. A banwave is coming. Today a new detection was added in Warden targeting (botname.) I’m still monitoring stuff but from the looks of it, (botname) is being detected. I have disabled (botname) usage and subscriptions. In 10min I will shutdown all WoWs.

would that be like a poor millionaire? sorry, i understand casuals have bald necks

i’m sure after thousands of bots get banned they have a data set to formulate adjustments - blizz makes adjustments - rinse and repeat

Nope.

You can pickpocket the same mobs over and over. Just takes a while for them to get money back in their pockets.
