Our own system doesn’t even work half the time but the players on the other side of the world gets better treatment in WoW
Yes, ive only been to china once in my life. Their culture isn’t our culture. Not saying its bad or good but lying to even minor authority figures isn’t something most are comfortable with.
Netease promotion. Not a sole Blizzard one. Might hint that cheating in video games is a bigger deal in their country than it is here in regard to botting and such.
Also, you get one more equal attention cake before you’re cut off.
If it’s just WoW…I don’t know sounds like a system that may get abused…if it’s all of Battle.net maybe this will fix the rapid increase of hackers in Overwatch of late?
and what is funny is this
The real question is how much it is intended to cut down on services offered by bigger professional boost and sale organizations like major race guilds, and how much is simply culling the competition - RMT sales, boosts, and carries are rampant in China, well beyond what’s seen in the west, which threatens to compete with official services sold by NetEase and managing sub-studio Lei Huo. The in-game shop previously offered “enhanced” boosting services with higher item level gear, and some players speculate whether this is paving the way to double down on their more “official” sales, with a preview of the new retail in-game shop expected to be revealed by the end of the month.
so netease is not doing good they are just removing the competition and this is not with blizzard
I don’t think it’s good to do something like this. I feel that while well intentioned, it could get abused really fast. I feel like something like commendations for good behavior would be better.
I have direct info on a dozen of them that I’ve sent into the hacks email but nothing has happened all year. There really needs to be legal action for sure.
It’s really bad when you find a bunch of bot discords and they have 5 figures of users sitting in them and all they do is brag about a year or more of “uptime” on their bot throwaways.
I don’t talk out of my wazoo when I get angry on the forums about the botting situation in wow.
Honestly, with how many bots we have on our side of things… just imagine how much worse it is over there, that they feel the need to put out a bounty system like this.
