Some AH addons will inform you when items are under a certain value and give you a click to buy popup.
If your looking to sell fast its good to work out the thresholds as frequently items are overpriced on AH (greater than 10% over material costs) so you can buy mats and flip at a decent profit while also cutting down overall profit for the item.
To some people, it’s like playing the stock market. Buy low / Sell high.
Can you do me a favor and answer this question, why sometimes I dont have the option to report someone for cheating. Very often in wotlk classic, it may be a bug idk, I will se an obvious bot or cheater, select their character and report like im supposed to, and then I am only given two options, communication or gameplay sabatoge, one being obvious for whats said in game the other pvp related really. Its been bugging me that sometimes the cheating option is just absent from the report system for me at times. Is it group or raid related, or maybe phasing can cause problems if im out in the world farming or something, IDK.
I would try a full UI reset ti elimi ate a corruptted UI. Do not delete the fules just rename them. This way if that is not the culprit you can fully restore it back.
I don’t know if this will apply to your particular situation, but for cheating, you need to actually see them cheating or at least be in their general vicinity (such as terrain glitching, where you can’t “see” them, but are within range of them). Because they don’t want people to just hear from others to report someone, or to do a “/who” and report anyone in certain dungeons.
I also think that you cannot report for cheating from chat lines, for similar reasons to above. So the cheating option is generally available by clicking on their nameplate.
If you collect all of the data like name, realm, timestamps, what they’re doing, etc., You can also submit all of that to the hacks@blizzard.com. Mind you, it is a one way communication, they are not going to respond to you directly.
ok thanks guys several great responses appreciate it, the customer support forum continues to be my favorite for real answers
Not all “obvious bots” are in reality - bots. You don’t know if they’re bots, or someone getting a carry, or someone multiboxing (which is not against the rules when done according to the rules).
Also, you didn’t have to bring this thread back up when you just posted one of your own. It was linked so you could see the response from Vrak.
But like I’ve said in many previous threads - there is only so much Blizzard can do when it is the stupidity of our player base for making use of these illegal services. If idiots stopped hiring the services, guess what? No more bots! But until you can figure out how to stop that from happening, raging at Blizzard for doing their best is even more foolhardy.
They don’t want to mistakenly ban someone who isn’t botting and they want to break the bots who are legitimately bots. These things take time. Again, none of it would be necessary if people would stop feeding the illegal websites and services.
the thing is tho… playing whack-a-mole is proven to achieve nothing. Blizz collates the data and then breaks the bot. Most bots are run on hacked accounts, for every one they boop, 5 more get created. It takes time to break the code the bots run under so when they do they, they ban in a wave.
The big issue is the bot creators constantly make new bots, and blizz breaks them as fast as they can but it really is an issue that can never be completely solved. Its not as simple as someone sitting and watching bg’s or zones and hitting the delete key.
1 person?!
When you consider ALL the BG instances, in ALL servers… Across a 24/7 period that’ll need 3x8 hour shifts to cover 24 hours - so you’d want to factor in additional staff to cover rostered days off etc.
Hmm, try 100’s of staff.
If you think Blizzard does nothing, think again- they fight bots EVERY single day.
Want to truly get rid of bots? Take away their black market - the players that insist on cheating, buying gold illegally etc. Until then, it’ll continue to be a fight.
You do know…normal players can do the same thing, right? It isn’t hard. Let along a given player can mess with folks who look for such.
The BGs have one plan being done repeatedly, like everyone basically this is the easily thing to do to speed through the BG.
So, you expect one person to go over thousands upon thousands of BGs, that’d be going on at any given moment, find a random person that could be trolling with their name, following others and the like would magically fix everything?
I’d recommand looking up info on when Blizzard tried to do live chat mod and see how they gone.
And how would you know this unless YOU never log out? If that is indicative of ovvious bot behavior we would then have to assume you as a bot as well yes?
And that is why it is not always obvious.
