its very obvious that names like “nzth wuzl dsiug ppfs” are not players. People who actually play the game do put some type of thought behind choosing a name so thats an easy way to start slimming down ppl.
Blanket suspend/ban the accounts and have those people appeal to get unbanned with proof of ownership as per usual through a notary. Before authenticators were a thing and accounts stolen in the mid early 2000’s thats what blizzard had you do… use an intermediary to prove that it was your account and not the person who stole it from you via sending photo ID and personal information pertaining to the account.
It actually isnt or I would be doing it right now. My friend unsubbed from WoW and multiboxes on a private server. Blizz now bans all hardware and software boxing. I unsubbed all my multiboxing accounts and quit doing it.
The only people who dont like multiboxing are jealous people who cant afford it. Not my fault I was wrecking people in arenas years ago with my quad box shammy team.
FFXIV openly allows multiboxing. WoW does not. Wow is now currently the only sub based MMO in the world that does not allow multiboxing.
You wanna multibox, go play Final Fantasy 14. Mainly only Free to Play MMOs ban multiboxing because there would be nothing to stop every player from getting 100+ accounts all at the same time.
And yes multiboxing is now a bannable offense. They also do not give you warnings if they see you doing it. They simply perma ban your entire battlenet account. Keep in mind that World of Warcraft is now the only sub based MMO in the world that now has this view on multiboxing. When we still had our old dev team here and over 15 million subs…it was allowed. New dev team and 700,000 subs…no longer allowed. Even though it is proven to bring money to the game.
There are other MMOs out there that outright ban names like that. More than one MMO out there also will auto give you a message saying “That appears to be gibberish” when you put in a name like that and will actually IP ban you if you keep entering names like that.
Based of a LoL character because she says YAAAAAY TIBBERS. If you played any amount of League you’d know reference. There is absolutely no way nfasjk pldsu pfuio are references or well thought fantasy names so dont even come at me with that school yard bull.
Stupid kid trying to attack me LOL.

Company would lose money doing that.
Its is you just cant use outside adons. There is a guy multiplaying 10 right now.
You are not allowed to multibox using hardware or software now. They just made that change. And it is actually the only offense that will get you permanently banned the first time you are caught doing it.
Do you often get beaten by kids?
im sorry to tell you this but blizzard doesnt really care about classic wotlk anymore
Yea but you can still do it. PPl are still doing. All you have to do is not use a program that has everyone cast at the same time.
There is this jack off that streams his 2 dks 5 boomkins and some priest leveling together. it basically nukes stuff down.

Blizzard at this point solely cares about Dragonflight being successful. They already milked people for the WotLK so don’t expect to see anything new come about for handling bots. After TBC you should come to expect bots as part and parcel of a Blizzard MMO experience. Giving temporary bans for gold buying and win trading. Slaps on the wrist and they’ll welcome them right back.
Imagine if they banned these whales who do go out and buy botting services? They’d lose the box cost on Dragonflight release and a possible sub. Whales don’t enjoy being left behind. If you’re not a whale don’t expect to see any service(s).
I would be on my quad box shammy team getting arena ratings once again using the same exact set in retail if it were allowed right now. But a GM told me in a ticket that it is not.
Also for bots and why Blizzard will never get rid of them entirely.
The huge MMOs that have bots and are free to play get rid of them right away.
The huge MMOs that have bots and have subs to play do not get rid of all their bots.
The most effective bots need to be able to talk in chat, be able to gather and sell in AH.
Those are all things that require an active sub to do. So therefore a bot = a sub. Banning all bots would mean getting rid of hundreds of thousands of subs. No MMO is going to do that ever. Only free MMOs can afford to do that.

is basically how they do it now
what’s really hilarious is in Diablo 2 if you bot you get banned within a week or 2. Why? because you already bought the game they cant get you to pay anything else unless they ban you and you buy the game again. Like others have said it’s all about the sub money. Its blatantly obvious.

Ofcouse someone who works for the company is going to say something in defense of it when it comes to why they actually dont ban bots.
And me saying they ban bots on massive F2P games a lot more…
Solypsis proved my point.
Exactly this. Shows where their priorities are 100%

Don’t you think it’s a little odd that with everything that came out from former and current employees about the workplace environment at Blizzard, not a single person suggested that Blizzard is keeping bots around for the sub money? Not a single person had accused Blizzard of forcing their employees to lie about the bot situation. Many of those employees were openly trash talking Bobby Kotick himself, but not a single person said anything about being forced to lie about botting.
You can believe your conspiracy theory if you want, free country.
