this tends to match how blizzard handles bot bans. if they banned the second warden detected, it would be entirely too easy for bot makers to reverse engineer their bots to avoid detection.
instead, they collect data over the course of a few weeks to ban many unexpectedly in one fell swoop, and collect data on how these bots work and who is creating them. The end result is it takes longer for them to return.
Is this one of those made up rumors you hope will become a real rumor? Or… is this a real rumor?
i doubt blizzard will ban anybody for botting or afk abuse in BGs
Bleh. I hate Adele. With sooo much passion.

I listen to any and all things metal. I can’t understand most of what Adele says during her songs because it is so whiny…

You doubt they will ban anyone for botting or afk abuse in BG? They banned people for Fish Botting, leveling Fishing to 300 while AFK for hours. They’ve banned people for exploiting rep gains (AV is more than honor it’s also rep), they’ve banned people for ranking in arena exploits. This is no different.
Also most of the “botters” are not using your normal bot that injects into wow client even though I’ve seen a few that do. Most people are using automatic clickers that do the same routine over and over to queue / join / a spell / queue / join / a spell so they don’t AFK and it always joins this is when they target you, or a npc that walks by in front of them. These are not going to be your normal “Dev breaking the bot” because they’re using applications that do mouse movements and clicks for them, but the Devs will find away to flag their accounts as soon as they use these methods and continue to ban them. The first wave they will all get banned at once, their accounts are flagged for it already and GM’s do investigate every report then they flag based on the info. Once the ban happens then our Horde queues will be shorter “Unless more alliance bot than Horde” and games will be quicker as more players will be playing and not “AFK IN Cave”.
These people who bot will be perma banned, all that grinding to 60 and raiding of M.C. to get geared will be for nothing.

Blizzard doesn’t permaban anymore…
Except that the sun actually does rise.
I spent many years developing things like that.
And I know a lot of people who are currently botting due to the atrocious way blizzard is putting these phases out taking dumps on pvp’rs just as they have in BFA.
Multi billion dollar company cannot make logical and common sense decisions.
I DO NOT BOT. I play the game for enjoyment as I don’t need the $$$ anymore.
Also their justification for botting is pretty lame and I don’t agree with it however the game is once again plague with bots.
Will they do anything about them? So far its going on checked and people have made enough off them that an account ban wouldn’t even put a dent in their profits.
Blizz bans bots every few months. They nuked a bunch of folks using fishing bots not too long ago.
Are you talking retail or classic?
Do you have a link to where fish botters were perma banned in classic wow?
If you are talking about the September bans, that was for PR reasons. Classic had just launched and everyone was covering all the news about classic. It was under a microscope.
The only people who care about WOW now are the people already playing, and quite frankly blizz doesn’t give a fit what we think about the game because they know we’ll pay the subscription anyway.
The only reason they have to do anything AT all with classic beyond maintenence is to not lose face with people who “might” buy the retail expansions.
