Bots had no struggle with that in the first place. They’re bots.
Well despite your huge amount of evidence of this which I’m sure you have tucked away just out of sight, I’m still going to have to say nay to your proposal. And also a heartfelt get over it, you jealous baby.
Take it out and you will get absolutely nothing in return from Blizzard. They had years to “modernize” the cities before the Brutosaur was even a thing and never did it.
Having no easy access to auction houses in WoD didn’t make me go back to the cities every day. It just meant that I basically didn’t touch the auction house at all.
PCs and NPCs are completely different things. NPCs run repeating predictable scripts and require little monitoring, and they don’t receive any environmental information – they are part of the environment. There are probably routines to completely idle any of their processing when there’s no PC in range. PCs act in unpredictable ways, generate a lot more traffic and have to be constantly monitored and fed information. There are never as many PCs in Suramar City as there are in hub cities.
Hey, look! Spam-master managed to post something that wasn’t just copy and pasting the same thing over and over again into multiple threads! Mark this day on your calendars.
Someday the brutosaur will stop living rent-free in your head.
I think you vastly overestimate the number of actual bots that there are in the game and have no idea how much scripting would be required for a bot to use the AH mount in a way you described.
No I don’t think I do feel the effects of botting. Other than cheaper AH mats. I am not saying that bots don’t exist I’m saying they aren’t in as high of numbers as indicated and the amount of work involved into programming scripting that is undetectable in order to 1) bring out the AH mount 2) open up the AH 3) search, purchase, and retrieve items from the mail box or post items to sell on the AH will be excessive. Most bot programs choose the path of least resistance in order to not be identified.
And comparing it to the Yak is hilarious as reforging was outright removed from the game which is why it was taken off the mount. I farmed 5 mil gold to get an AH on a mount and unless they entirely remove the AH that’s what I expect to have on it.
Also, a mount that a small number of players have isn’t what’s stopping them from “modernizing cities”. Nor did it have any impact on bots, you really think they paid 5M for a mount when they could sell that gold and achieve the same thing by just mailing stuff to alts planted in a city or depositing it into a gbank?
As a brutosaur owner, I think we do need to acknowledge that what the brutosaur enables more than botting is LAZINESS. I can’t be bothered to walk up a flight of stairs to the AH.
Or I made a joke in response to someone else (as I was when you first replied to me in this thread), but you’re a joyless git with a myopic hatred for video game pixels, so it was probably lost on you.
Grow up, Viktor, or at least remove the stick from your rear end.
