im honestly bummed out. I have a toon on bigglesworth and recently i noticed theres a bot farming plague bloom every second of the day every day of the week with a clear script and route named “RaymondRich” i reported him multiple times, me and friends are 100% sure its a bott, and yet there is ZERO taken. its pointless to want to do these gathering professions and dungeon runs when a bot is doing it all day long on a script! Time and effort is an integral part of the reward system in this game and bots are making it so there is little to no reason to continue playing as it takes away the novelty of hard work and skill. Why should i try and out herb someone who has several bots in the zone all day and all night? it makes you feel alone in the world when half the players are bots and makes the work you do feel unrewarding because you KNOW someone else has a bot doing it for free while they sleep. I dont understand how people get banned in this game for using mods like boob sliders BUT having a script playing the game and grinding gold for you all day long is ok. Im new to wow and have been enjoying the game so much, but unfortunately im going to be done with it soon if this continues. Botting makes everyone elses time and effort that they sink into this game USELESS and non rewarding. Imagine farming weeks for the whelpling pets and just seeing a bot there all day long which you know, by probability, will eventually get at least one pet along with thousands of gold in flamesacs etc while you get carpel tunnel playing this grind of a game. Why farm elemental fire in Ungoro when theres a bot named Auberdine there all day long? It makes the player feel like they are wasting their time, life, and REAL LIFE MONEY to play this game when they could just buy a botting service. Blizzard has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING so don’t say thank you for reporting when we know that doesn’t do anything. Everyone in the zone reported the herb botters and no action. Its so so disappointing how much this game let me down since ive started playing. I had to switch to horde JUST to be able to play the game because the server i was on was so imbalanced and now im just competing against a bunch of bots. pick your poison
but no, lets add a cap to dungeon resets… because im sure that will stop botters giving boosts with multiple accounts…
