Why is Ramparts still full of boosted 60 rogues?
Why is Crypts still full of boosted 58 mage or priest teams?
If we can easily spot the patterns, why are they not actioned on?
If we are reporting them, why are they still there?
And not even always new ones, the same old names. For months.
Are they worth that much revenue?
At the price of a disgusted player base?
yes
Dang, thought that was done with.
incompetence
hereâs a thought. what if theyâre worth more than you?
40 subscriptions and people making a living vs 1 person who is mad about them every now and then = they dont care. They are on every server and nothing will be done until the next 80k+ viewer streamer points out the problem like last time.
Those âpeopleâ pay for subs/boosts.
i miss the bald men
Blizzard doesnât want to take action is the primary reason.
Blizzard certainly doesnât seem to care. Especially since itâs been proven by the indie teams running private realms that botters can be eradicated.
That being said, at least once a day Iâll do a /who in those dungeons and report all of the people with those classes/levels if they have a gibberish name, or a name that was obviously made using the gameâs random name feature. At the moment, I have 4 pages of âThanks for reportingâ mail from Blizzard in my characterâs inbox. Itâs clearly doing nothing to stop the problem, but I at least like the idea that Iâm helping to waste the money of the people who do it.
Itâs adorable that you think Blizz wouldnât lie to you.
Yup.
That way theyâre the only ones selling gold and gear and boosts.
Simple. Bots make the MAU # look better in quarterlies. Which makes shareholders happy. You are not as valuable to ActiBlizz as shareholders are.
They have cut WoWs throat to appease their Gods.
This was not done out of the kindness of their hearts. Almost uniformly, any pserver which banned botters did so because at least 1 GM would create and sell gold under the table. The botters were competition.
This was the worst kept secret of every private server going all the way back to Nostalrius.
Blizz allowing bots to do this is basicslly jebaiting people to break tos. Not to mention the bots in ramparts are fly hacking too right lol.
Cmon blizzâŚput your foot down
Atleast for wrath
I didnât say it was done out of the kindness of their hearts. Iâm simply that even third-party indie teams have completely dealt with the âunsolvableâ bot problem. They are proof that Blizzard is consciously choosing to let the problem persist.
Because Blizz is more interested in $$$ than the quality of their product. They make a ton off bots.
True. But remember that a lot of casual players who think gold buying is ok because everyone is doing it get banned and then either take a break and play other games until the suspension is up or just quit the game alltogether
so there are multiple negatives to the pathetic policing of rmt abusers by blizzard; for example it impacts community in a bad way and hurts genuine players who feel they have no choice
If that was the case, Blizzard wouldnât have come down so hard on multiboxers.
So long as players keep buying gold⌠there will always be bots. Kick and scream as much as you want at Blizzard⌠at the end of the day⌠this is a player made problem.
Big brain idea.
If they killed all bots and gold selling. It wouldnât just cost them subs on the botting accounts but it would trickle down to real people who buy gold to run GDKPs and buy boosts ectâŚ. Those people would also quit if they canât buy gold cause they ainât farming letâs be real. So the monetary cost would be massive long term for blizzard. If they do a ban wave every few months or so gold sellers make there $$. Blizzard makes thereâs and the gold sellers boost new toons/accounts the cycle repeats.
