Maybe the dude should mind his own business lol and people will leave him alone too
Which platform? Whatâs the name of the video makerâs channel on said platform?
Serious âshe shouldnât have worn thatâ energy in here.
The real toxicity is highlighting exploitative and illegal behavior. The doublethink on these forums is impressive.
Itâs crazy to me that people are blabbering and not just linking you the video: This Will Be My Last Video!
tl;dr Youtuber / WoW player that hunted bots. He claims he got IRL threats, and is ending his related streaming because of it.
I mean itâs not like the OP provided a lot of context.

I mean, he broke the rules. Blizzardâs been responding at a snailâs pace, but that behavior should have resulted in permanent bans across the board. The truth of the matter is that Blizzard isnât able to do something about behavior happening in youtube or disc though, only what happens in Bnet and WoW

Then theyre not bots.

This would be true if they didnât do what I suggest in the rest of my post. Ban not only the account, but also the IP and hardware signatures. If they started doing that, the cost of botting would skyrocket and the botters would be priced out of existence.
Iâm not sure this is 100% true. I know SWTOR took an active approach to tackle botting/cheating and so does the company I work for iRacing. Obviously I donât have insider information on other companies, but I would think MOST companies donât want bots killing their communities.
The bots arenât self-replicating bro. They have human owners.

Will just make the bot workshops adjust their botting methods until they donât get (acceptably) banned as fast anymore. Which was the case in the past when they did get banned upon detection.
Gets circumvented pretty quick so fast it is as easy as writing the suggestion.
I believe this requires an even more intrusive anti-cheat like Vanguard type K0 to deploy, which could make it harder or take it longer to âwashâ out or recycle botting but in the end will not stop them entirely.

No its out of control
Then theyre not bots.
Bots are scripted and run hands free/automated
This is akin to getting mad at me for selling PL.services and claiming im breaking the rules when ive done no such thing
And when it stops running hands free because itâs dead on a HC server the operator takes note and sees what happened.
I think youâre smarter than this Griz. Not sure what the act is about.

He probably caught some bots in it, and some regular accounts. Honestly though, the whole situation is just a mess. Iâm surprised Blizzard hasnât taken action against his account though. The off-bnet they canât do anything about though.
unless they learn - AI bots want to know everything about Azeroth
Since weâre talking about WoW, weâll need to look at what âbotâ means in itâs context. Here is Blizzardâs definition:
Whatever programs these players are using - regardless of whether they meet broader definitions of the term âbotâ - meet the definition set by Blizzard and the definition players in this thread are going by.
Youâre wrong here champ, GG and no RE.
Iâll admit that putting yourself on blast on social media does open you up as a target to some extent but it will never justify doxxing and death threats. There is some âcanât take the heat? stay out of the kitchenâ to this but damn guys.
Throwing yourself in the line of fire for botters, doxxers, and people making death threats might be a new GD low.
Youre missing the understanding of automation. You dont run automation so you can sit there at the keyboard and watch the automation lol
Theres hours between action and reaction with automation
Youre making my point for me.
Please feel free to elaborate. Your definition of âbotâ is incorrect in the context of WoW - I provided you the correct one. Show me where Iâm wrong.
