If I can’t have your gold that means deep down you actually plan to come back

I agree with a lot of what you said here and for many of these things, I really struggle why Blizzard has allowed them to persist. Don’t get me wrong, my disappointment in my fellow gamer is strong, but there’s things Blizzard could do to curb the trend and they don’t. So I understand you being bummed out and being done. Good luck to you, I hope you enjoy your break!
Blizzard is unlikely to change, but there is a place in Era where every single one of your bullet points above are either eliminated, or significantly mitigated. If you find yourself having a Vanilla WoW itch to scratch, come check out Grobbulus. I don’t think Blizzard likes us very much… I mean, we are having fun on our own terms, after all, but we’re hanging on. Sadly, you’d have to reroll. In their infinite wisdom, Blizzard shut off paid transfers to our server because they felt it was “a predatory practice”. I guess player freedom and choice is predatory but unchecked gold buying and botting is ok.

Shoving everyone on a megaserver, releasing OCE last minute (schismed community), and refusing to release RP servers is a dark sign that community is something they care little and less for.

Bots affect every aspect of the game, from the economy to this:
. . . to farming herbs and mining. I’m baffled as to why you think bots wouldn’t have a negative impact.

This is such a non-answer. I suppose I shouldn’t have even asked… but yeah.

I get the idea, but that’s very hand-wavy. I asked a specific question about personal gameplay:
A response with some streamer’s PoV isn’t helpful here. Maybe there are instance lockouts due to bots. Maybe that’s due to putting everybody on a single server with a ton of layers. We don’t really know. Do bots contribute to total numbers? Sure, but that’s also not meaningful.
In any case, I’m not trying to argue that bots exist or don’t exist. And if you want to claim that you are negatively impacted and everybody is, then sure, feel free to express yourself.

No it isn’t. And the reason you can’t enter a new instance IS RIGHT THERE: “Additional Instances Cannot be Launched” meaning the number of instances the game is set up to handle is maxed out. This is why you’re more likely to get that message when trying to enter DM, where bots are INSANE, and not Sunken Temple.
What? I didn’t bring up any streamer.

You linked a YouTube video without any explanation. I just assumed some streamer fanboy complaining about something ridiculous, like that guy during P2 Classic 2019 who recorded his deathwalk back to BRD complaining about PVP…
Anyway…
Yeah. Well, there are several popular solo farms in DM, and it’s all a single instance, so…
Maybe. It could just be that there are too many players and while layers support that, they don’t properly support instance dungeon scaling.

That was a PSA for “Reading is Fundamental.”
No, absolutely. I’d link a streamer’s YouTube showing this but… you know.

Bro, you replied directly to a post I made. That isn’t a PSA.
Anyway, not super important. I’m not trying to argue against your opinion or preference or anything. I’ve played the game quite a lot over the years, and for the vast majority of my play, I haven’t even noticed bots in my day-to-day.
I’m just curious what others are noticing or doing that causes them to say, "Oh my gosh! Bots are destroying my enjoyment of… " whatever it is.
In this case, sure if you can’t get into an instance and you want to blame that on bots, cool. Good example, I guess.

What are you implying I didn’t comprehend?
Anyway, this conversation is really off the rails. I was curious about something, but it doesn’t seem like anybody wants to answer, and instead would like to antagonize, name-call, etc.
Well done boys, I’ve become disinterested in your opinions.
