No I am just tired of hearing the same arguments over and over again like it’s never been said since 1999 when I started in EQ.
21 years and it’s the same thing, by the same people with the same desired outcome. Hurt my competition so I can get more win more. Whether it’s the AH, PvP or dungeons raiding, it’s always the same… Just make it harder for others but easier for me
Nope… they will still complain. I can run the game and have the forums open on a second monitor. I can PvE in one window… and PvP in the other. LOL
Those mats were no more overpriced than enchanting mats, or flasks or armor pieces, BoE’s… etc et al. and to see you justifying botting… just wow.
How are prices dropping a bad thing? Im gonna have to rethink killing alli bots … dang
Don’t you think if it was as simple as banning hardware it would be taken care of by now?
Things are never as simple as they appear.
You’d have to make gold soulbound since bots would still farm just to sell gold to people.
People think Blizzard can wave a magic wand and “ban hardware”, because there is a magic way to know a specific computer. It WOULD literally take magic to make that possible. The people that suggest this, do not know how computers or the internet work.
Some people want their sole source of income to be farming mats and they want to make as much gold as possible selling the least amount of mats.
Which I don’t blame them 
I’d love to sell herbs 300g per all year round.
I never understood that. In all likelihood, if anyone on the forums thought of it blizzard has thought of in a long time ago.
There is no easy fix.
Good catch. Hadn’t thought about that.
I wondered if it’s bots selling all those WoW codes for $10 my son was telling me about…
Blizzard just has to deploy their fleet of wizards who can magically ban hardware. And throw fireballs. See? It’s easy! Gandalf would have NO problem banning someone’s computer from WOW.
uh excuse me anything i don’t understand is obviously trivial so get to it already
Well idk but I do know you can change your IP and MAC address without much difficulty. Not sure what other methods are out there though.
IDK, Gandalf doesn’t seem to do much with his magic. Best I saw was him saying you shall not pass and hitting a bridge so hard it broke…
No lightening bolts… (ok he’s not a shaman)
No fireballs.
No arcane missiles
That would still work though. computer tries to connect to WOW Gandalf: “YOU SHALL NOT PASS”
Would make most sense if WoW strictly ran on a console, or have the game only run on a proprietary Operating System where they can blacklist hardware
Because there is no way to identify that.
i’m not seeing any difference.
yeah, that happens after the first couple of months.
these threads are awesome… everyone thinks they have the answer 
lol like this…
Umm… about that “Wizard” deployment… we determined that wizards are just unsanctioned psykers and have purged them from the planet.
id say start auditing these people defending bots in this thread , audit their accounts , they wanna derail this discussion so bad for a reason .
As people love to pvp , pve some also enjoy the economics part of wow , me i enjoy it very much with another friend .
And theres actually comunities of players that do enjoy making lots of gold , the hardware ban might help alleviate the issue a little , i think what we need the most is a system that not only sends you an email whenever your report got someone banned , but a system that rewards either mogs or mounts or pets something that gives enough positive reinforcement to the player to actually go and report.
most of the time i locate a bot i ping them and call people to report em , most of the time noone comes . we need some sort of reward to stimulate the reports.
