Please do something about bots in Random Battlegrounds. Random BGs literally unplayable at times due to the sheer number of players that are just bots.
wassup big **** randy
that is what they call you… isn’t it?
It’s not a bot problem it’s the masses of toxic man children
How do you know someone is a bot, I am truly asking? I don’t know. I’ve seen bot activity but only outside BG’s/PVP… thx.
Did the bots that have almost taken over classic entirely start leaking into retail? They can not be stopped. They will not be stopped. Resistance is futile.

Thats what makes pvp fun.
Beep boop boo beep.
bots should be allowed in the game tbh, when the most casual play is so repulsive that players afk out of nearly every bg en masse following the first encounter, you know you have larger problem at hand.
game design, class balance, power creep and disparity, and premades are just a portion of the issues that needs to be addressed.
at least with a bot you could let it gather honor or conquest until you hit the point where you can stomach the gameplay.
lots of bots just stay at the starting area and don’t do anything.

I think they’re getting smarter. It was really obvious watching people fly through the air like they’re swimming through water, great flag carriers. HonorBuddy (can I say the word now?) bots used to circle around the starter keep, really easy to spot. Then it was kick bots and scripters, harder to detect unless they go gonzo and set it to kick right at the start of the cast or you start seeing things come into play already cursed. At some point they’ll seem virtually indistinguishable from a bad player. Might even confuse them for a good one, but too good of performance would probably invite investigation.
As a healer main, the game ending issue for me personally is the kick botting. Made me quit healing recently. Its bad enough that damage in the game is unhealable, especially in epic bg’s. These things don’t even try to hide it anymore. You get kicked before the cast bar even appears on the screen. Its extremely obvious when it happens, and its all the time. All these aged game mechanics need to go. DPS in the game is high enough now that anti casting is way too strong. This entire game is in the worst shape I’ve ever seen it. I watched a bot run in place against a wall in Ashran yesterday literally the entire match.
Oh you guys mean rotation bots. I wouldn’t call them a bot. Yeah, there are lots of them out there. They pick the best ability, and min/max their dps/heals. Well, a lot of arena players use that. But yeah, I get silenced before I even see my cast bar also which is crazy and so blatantly obvious.
The weakness of those bots is that they cannot use aoe abilities that target the ground. The best or smart ones can easily get people to 3k rating in arena. I saw one posted here, a few days ago. It knew when to cast grounding totem and tremor totem. When the warlock casted chaos bolt, the shaman dropped a grounding totem which was cool and crazy at the same time.
Someone explained to me once they can set the kick to a percent of cast and that the people who don’t know what they’re doing set it to 0% but there is an option to kick randomly so it’s not so obvious. I do a really quick juke typically at onset, see if it’s caught and if so if it’s consistently kicked. You can play around the bots sometimes, if you can identify them tell your team to keep them dead. Haven’t seen bots like I used to but I know that doesn’t mean they’re not there.
The bots will do something like Kick player at 90% cast time +/- 9% random… Makes it really hard to determine until you collect enough data to pull a good histogram.

I guess its about time wow pvp finally had a "i lost because of cheaters " mindset. I guess there was nothing else to complain about
please do something about players who call others bots instead of just bad.
maybe cross reference their account with forkknife if if there’s a history automatically ban them for life.
unless this is about dks in classic.
