Fish Botting

Because it will take time for the report, time for the logs to be investigated. Bans are slow to help verify, but also to help break any possible new bot software Probably will take longer than 3 days. You should get an in game mail though if your reports help stop a true cheater.

Awesome. I didn’t know that I would receive mail. Thank you.

you can also use mouse over target macros to interact with the hook. My guild goes thru like 150K + worth of feasts a week on prog nights for raid. Thats alot of fish. I’l have days where im literally casting for hours with a movie on and just doing my thing. I ignore people who jump on mounts trying to grief me because it doesnt really make a difference to my casting routine.
Blizz doesnt auto ban individual characters, you can submit the bot report and it goes through an investigation phase. People wont get bans until Blizz can work out how to break the bot otherwise its just whack-a-mole.
Theres also more efficent ways to farm gold. even for the highest cost fish at best getting a stack and a half over an hour for like 5-7k gold. Youd make more farming just about anything else.

That doesn’t do what it used to. To cut down on players blocking things, in most cases you can click through other players.

Not to mention you can swivel your camera view to where you are looking at your character and have the bobber directly in front of your camera. I do that sometimes just to make it easier to see that tiny little bobber (dang old eyes, lol).


This was done using 2 different licenses of mine. My Vulpera is the one fishing and my Orc is the one attempting to block her view.

Guys dont you think this debate has gone on long enough and is better off in general.

I daresay it’s less a debate and more a clarity of perception. Offering alternative ways to look at how things may seem on the surface is a good way to clear up any misconceptions, and all.

Debate wasnt what i was originaly planning but i figured debate was the more diplomatic.

I’m just on mounted in front of him to stop fish bot. If he was a real player and was catching by zooming out and clicking the hook then good for him. I’m not trying to grief a real player fishing that’s why I don’t sit on the bobber. I simply cover him because fish bots zoom camera all the way in. When I’m not afk I just simply fish beside him so the bot will read my bobber and pull his back. If he was not botting then ez catches

Dude, that’s of sketchy, borderline harassment.

If he moves to another location I do not follow. Heck if he moved 2 feet the the right I would not follow.

Still harassment in my books, can’t you just report and find something else to do with your time. Are you that bored?

He has never told me to stop. Never moved. Never did an emote. He also has every right to report me if he wanted. I’m not scared of that tho because he is a bot lol. I fish on that character so not wasting time.

Dude, You are so in the wrong here man. Harassment is not justifiable what EVER the reason.

I’m bowing out as I will start to put my posting privileges in jeopardy.

You are correct harassment is not justified under for any reason that’s why I’m not harassing.

So you’re willing to waste your time because you think it’s a bot? You’re literally just wasting your own time and it’s having zero effect.

That’s not normal. They don’t have to speak to you nor emote or move. You’re in the wrong here and while I don’t believe it’s reportable what you’re doing, it’s certainly not a good move on your part.

To be quite honest I’m far more troubled by your focused intent on what may or may not be a bot. Even if it is a bot or person using illegal software, your behavior is kind of asinine and it would probably be a good idea to take a breather from the game if this is all you’ve got to do with your time.

Well it’s my fishing toon so not wasting time. It’s funny that the original post is really me not knowing why GMs are not instantly addressing the issue. My question was answered and now we have snowballed to my mental health. Thank you all that answered my question and to those that are worried about my mental health. I will let GMs handle there part and I will continue to fish beside him without harassment

You want to remove those from your post please. That’s only advertising these illegal bots.

And again, you may think you know. But unless you’re sitting on Blizzard’s side of the table, you don’t know for sure. I’ve got friends who will just sit there and fish for heavens only know how long at a stretch. And if you’re sitting there for 2-3 days non-stop with them, what does that make you?

so you are a bot too ? cause in order to know they are there 2 days in a row 24/7 you must have been there the whole time.

I think I mentioned earlier in this thread my fish stocking for my kitty in classic. I fished 18+ hrs a day, I’m sure many thought I was a bot.
