They are about $3 a month. For whatever reason if you set your location to Argentina the subscription is dirt cheap. Not sure why, probably some currency thing or something. Try it out. What’s funny is you can set Argentina as your location but pay with a US or Canadian credit card lol.
Point is they aren’t really even making money off these guys vs people actually paying full tilt and trying to actually play the game.
Somehow in classic blizzard has managed to ruin an economy quicker than banks in 2008.
I’m starting to think whatever punishment there is for buying gold isn’t bad enough to stop it… once its not worth buying gold and risking your account gold sellers will have to stop.
But its also clear blizzard have only a small percentage of the GM’s they require for the job.
I would like some elaboration on this point, please. Thank you!
To add some context: I’m leveling a new character, from scratch. Level 48 now. I’ve been doing mostly dungeons and grinding mobs, with some questing to break things up a bit. Planning on some PvP at 49 – first bracket with mounts! Leveling my professions (mining and blacksmithing) entirely on my own, and doing fine.
Basically, I have not felt compromised in any way, so far. I do not buy gold, and I do not have more than 100g at any time, but I can always afford my new spells as well as the odd upgrade from the AH.
Totally small potatoes, obviously, but I’m having a great time and do not feel any difficulty/impossibility. So, I would like to understand more about this.
Some people would actually like to herb. You know, engage in their profession. Stopping to pick a dreamfoil or a black lotus and having a teleport hacker instantly appear and snatch it up then disappear again is cheating.
well you still have to pay the subscription, but that can be done with the retail side of the game, and that somewhat hamstrings Classic WoW enforcement of the problem.
At first glance tethering retail with classic is nice, but really its become its own problem because farming gold and buying the subscription on retail is a bit too easy when bots are also not punished and banned in retail fast enough creating a problem for classic wow.
The WoW Token can be traded for XX amount of gold and i am very sure that the swarm of bots will find even more ways to sell at double or triple the price of WoW Token…
Do you make a living off rmt? Disbelief in botters for rmt is like believing in a flat Earth.
My own theory about RMT mafia is blizz gets a cut and every now and then they ban some accounts for show. RMT has been around the entirity of WoW, blizz doesn’t care.
Not really. Botting is kind of the new fad word, people accuse anyone of botting for nearly anything nowadays. I think Lana is doing her due dilligence by showing good faith, rationale, and a respectable amount of skepticism.
Automation software and scripting is becoming more and more mainstream in everyday life. If someone tries to argue that it’s not true, odds are they are part of the RMT empire or really out of touch with modern technology.
Servers are plagued with bots and cheaters. There are numerous videos of them doing it, but yet the same people come to every bot thread to try to diminish or throw shade on the accusation. Coincidence much?
