go reread your own post, blizzard is literally
Now if blizzard was actually effective at dealing with bots I’d totally agree that what they’re doing is the right way to go. But what it really seems like is that it’s cheaper to make a forum post than to just hire a few GM’s to actively monitor bots. Something which would also be far more detrimental to bots as they wouldn’t be able to just roll the operating costs of getting banned into the price of gold if they had no gold to sell in the first place.
