Rampant Cheating/RMT/Piloting for Gladiator/Rank 1 spots

Posting this to bring awarness to the insane amount of RMT/Piloting going on the NA ladder right now.

This has gone on for too long.

Surely Blizzard will take action with their history of banning/suspending cheaters. I have full faith in Blizzard to exercise their ability to ban these individuals in a timely manner.

This is a large issue, action needs to be taken against cheaters.

They don’t care it’s been like this since season 1 of classic TBC, the main people doing it are personal friends of Blizzard and long term “arena pro gamers” all of them stream it on twitch doing illegal crap

they don’t care about the integrity of their own video game, they diff don’t care about a fair arena ladder.

This community is just a cesspool and Blizzard kills it for people that want to play the game, they end up quitting to cater to their cringe twitch audience/streamers rather than general population of paying customers.

It’s a joke, better off waiting for a real mmo to come out or play a competitive game that has moderation like league of legends or dota 2.

What if I told you people were changing gems mid arena match by swapping all their gems right before they cast bladestorm using a script and then changing their gems back to resilience after?

they all use auto kick scripts, all the hacks people use on warmane, they use on classic wow.

Literally multiple streamers are streaming boosts for real $$. They say its in game gold but weird they are playing with challengernoobx and every hour on the hour. Challengernoobx donates $30. They know blizz will do nothing so they dont even try to hide it.

wow arena has always been a clown meme fest.

Funnily enough there’s an NPC in Dalaran named Adamman the Trader who’s background was a gladiator that got caught trading wins and lost everything.

But that was in the past, Its possible that Blizzard today lacks the desire and ability to effectively combat cheating consistently, especially in classic.

It’s been 6 seasons of this now. Maybe this post will be the one for Blizz to do something about it.

Oh man. AHK on a shaman. My purges would purge so hard.

FYI this wont get touched. Reports are Blizzard is “all hands on deck” right now to push out d4 and 10.1 in dragonflight. They are so short staffed due to the mass exodus when they forced employees to return to the office.

All other titles are on life support only. If the game is up and running then that’s the only maintenance it will get until D4 and 10.1 ship.

So we arent looking at any feasible support for WoW Classic until likely July or August. These ppl will probably get banned as the season ends and TOGC comes out.

Until then enjoy the next 3-4 months of nothing being fixed / worked on / improved.

Back to HC Era for me!

Bump. Seeing people on stream advertising it. Saw a guy today offering his AHK as a perk for his discord. Disgusting.

Feels like 50% of the hpal/wars you vs. at higher ratings are pilots - people that have never been above 1700 with large amounts of games played and then suddenly they’re 3k rating with high win rates.
