Exploitative doesn’t mean Automated (Botting). You can be a Non-Botting Exploitative Player and should be addressed, equally as much. It’s about all forms of Cheating.

New Dungeon Visitation Limitation System
With the many improvements to end-game dungeons implemented last patch, we decided that it was necessary to limit the number of times a player can enter a dungeon per day. This was done to prevent the economy from being flooded with overly valuable items, and to ensure that players weren’t acquiring too much gold during what we’d consider a reasonable amount of play-time. We realize that many players enjoy repeated trips to their favorite dungeons, so we’ve made this new limitation as least restrictive as possible. Each character on a player’s account may enter the same dungeon up to three times per day, and may visit a total of five dungeons over the course of a twenty-four hour period. Keep in mind, each character on your account is flagged separately so with eight characters, that’s a total of 40 dungeon-runs per day!
I want you to remember that when someone here tries to defend this decision by using these same arguments about the economy and overfarming dungeons that they came up with this very idea during Vanilla WoW.
As an April Fools Day joke because they considered it a joke, and even as a joke the limitation was 40 runs.
I wonder if we told 2006 Blizz what 2020 Blizz was going to be doing for real if they’d laugh or cry.

When the response to botting is literally an April Fools joke from 2006, something is wrong with your botting response team.

We’re talking about 6 hours minimum to burn through all the lockouts.
I doubt this is an issue for most players.

So what happens to the top guilds who run dunegeons all day?
Are they not going to be able to help their guild by nonstop running dungeons?
The economy will also suffer, since the overall number of mats and gold will significantly drop, increasing prices overall, causing casual players to have a harder time buying what they need.

To be fair, there are somewhere around 40 posts that support the change, but it’s invalid input because it’s from people unaffected by it that should have no say and trolls.

Great change. Thank you.

So at which point during the daily #nochange meeting did everyone started smoking drugs? Because right now, unless you start selling double XP in a cash shop, it couldn’t be further than #nochange…
But more $$ for the Blizz… Your point 
I’m at home practically all day because of school being out & being immunocompromised, so I’ve been farming BRD for my warrior. My GF is also at home (working from home) so there’s been a handful of days where we’ve done 40-55 arenas.
20 mins to do 5, 40 min break while we wait for instances to reset. When you don’t have much else to do, it’s very easy to burn through them.
Now, we have to monitor a handful of things:
- Exactly when our instances are being tracked so we don’t bleed into raid time
- Leave 3-4 instances free for raid time (our guild typically does MC/BWL/Ony/Sometimes ZG all in 1 night).
Not only does this squash what we’re farming (mind you, we’re killing the mobs on the way to the arena, not even resetting or skipping), but now we need to externally track our timers so we don’t run into raid resets on tuesdays.
It’s not good.

Posting my discontent for posterity. Terrible change.

Ill humor you. What form of cheating does that affect? Bots creating many new accounts running automated scripts to farm gold and avoid this ill contrived attempt to cut them down? Players with a lot of time to play and enjoy the game? Which does this negatively affect more?
Brilliant way to get your gold farming customers to buy more accounts. Genius move Activison, you really know how to maximize those profits. Pity it will have almost no effect on the problem the community is experiencing…

Ya know what worked for retail with the botters/Goldsellers. . . . . I hear they have it in china for classic. . . . .

This change does not effect botters… at all…
They are the ones that can afford multiple accounts.
Since the price of gold will go up, they will make more money per run, allowing them to afford more accounts.
While the rest of us legitimate players get screwed over.

I got called stupid and a troll for suggesting we just do what’s proven to work.

Waiting for Blizzard to post that they hear us and are discussing other ways to handle this and revert the change. Twiddling my thumbs.

Maybe this is just a way to soften everyone to the idea of the token in Classic.
“We hear you, the instance limits were too harsh. So we’re going to try the token!”
