Botting and now instance caps is a conspiracy

This will lower the overall capacity for high volume players to effectively create gold by farming and vendoring items from instances, and in turn lower the overall amount of gold on the market. It will also make it more difficult for boosters to provide their services.

So what you’re saying is that even tho Blizzard’s change was pointless to combat botting, it’s still a good change for normal players?

I agree

It’s fairly telling he didn’t respond.

Typical for that guy. I’ve gone a couple rounds with him before.

I didn’t respond because I put you on ignore. I’m taking the advice of Vrakthris and trying my best not to argue in circles with people who refuse to believe facts and choose to spread misinformation. I’m removing you for one quick moment to link this:

@Esimpure-whitemane

Also you’ve said yourself that the number was in the low thousands from Blizzard - that is hardly enough to clean up the bots on Whitemane alone.

Reiterating that you were lying here as I never said this and you then moved the goalpost and said it was a CM post I linked, which also never happened. Here you go:

@Kaivax

Including today’s actions, over the last month in the Americas, Oceania, and Europe regions, we’ve closed or suspended over 74,000 WoW accounts that were found to be in violation of our End-User License Agreement. The majority of these were found to be using gameplay automation tools, typically to farm resources or kill enemies much more efficiently than legitimate players can.

I’m gonna go with just dumb. I dont think they were intentionally trying to do any kind of cash grab. One guy came up with a stupid idea and all the checks to stop that idea from happened failed.

WoW in China has already had the token for months.
WoW in China announces weekly bot bans and lists their names.

Are you telling me that WoW’s heavily restricted China branch actually handles this crap better than Blizz HQ?

That’s sad. I still stand by the instance cap doing nothing to quell the bot problem, only hurting legit player farming.

[Banti-bigglesworth]

Shhhh dude! you are blowing up their spot, they are going to announce this in the next couple weeks to combat botting, and everyone will thank them for YET ANOTHER thing they never wanted.

[Ônebutton-pagle]

You don’t know facts… remember 40 / 5000? you lose every argument you are in, lets just cut it out

[Delimicus-heartseeker]

I don’t expect you’ll be posting here for much longer so I guess this is goodbye.

The blanket solution to the botting problem, the gold shortage, and boosting shortage is to implement the WoW Token and a paid 60 boost.

Blizzard has never offered a paid boost to max level. When a new expansion launches, Blizzard offers a paid boost to the LOWEST level of the new (announced and purchaseable) expansion.

So a “paid 60 boost” is a new idea, not a Blizzard strategy.

Blizzard has never offered a gold-purchasing-with-dollars-token, except along with a gamegold-selling-for-sub-months token. Blizzard has never offered just 1 token: that doesn’t solve anything.

SInce you cannot purchase a sub-month for dollars in Classic, this strategy is not an option in Classic.

Ummmm… how so?
