Blizzard. I’ve been reporting these obvious level 10 Pandaren Death Knight bots constantly for more than a year now. They just sit in capital cities and spam RMT or other boosting/botting services in whispers or on the group finder.
Please change the requirement for making a level 10 Pandaren Death Knight. Make it so you NEED at least 1 level 30 character on that realm or something like that. This is such a silly thing to let fester when it could be stamped out.
To the community, please report any level 10 Pandaren Death Knights that seem suspicious just sitting still in capital cities. Check their achievements to be sure. They are almost always sitting around 100-5000 achievement points.
Just report every level 10 in trade(services) channel, level 10s have no business selling any sort of carry. Even if they’re advertising for a legit service, it’s escrow which is no longer allowed. The character collecting the gold has to be part of the run.
They profit from botting bro. We (you and I) lost years ago. As a dev studio they’ve pretty much just accepted that they won’t lose enough players to HAVE to do something, and botters buying different accounts is more money for them.
The tragic thing is that they (on average) pull in enough buyers (players) to finance more accounts so it’s just this unending flow of advertiser accounts.
All because they have so many willing buyers who don’t realize they’re feeding into this. Or just don’t care. I wish they’d clamp down harder on people dabbling in this because it is damaging to the game.
People who enable gold bots are the reason they still exist. Same thing with botting BGs, for example. First offense perma-bans. Gold sellers may not have an issue starting endless accounts, but most players certainly will.
(With an appeal process, ofc, because mistakes happen.)
