Right-click and report for cheating anyone you believe to be botting. The more people who do this, the faster these bots get shut down.
I’ve recently experienced something similar and was pleased to receive an in-game mail stating that my report lead to account actions

Yep, and they will always be an issue overall until people stop buying illicit gold 
Thanks for helping out by reporting them too! It really does make a difference.

Why would you want to punish the innocent for the acts of a few crooks?
Let’s make everyone stop driving cars because of those idiots that go on high-speed police chases. People die in those. Therefore, none of us should drive.
It doesn’t make a lot of sense. Right-click, report, and move on is the best thing to do. Banning all druids from herbing really isn’t constructive at all.
You do you, though. All of this is just IMHO.

Skinning bots are fun to mess with. You can lead them off a cliff or into a lake with high walls where they cannot climb back out. They will sit there swimming against the wall then turning and trying another direction. It’s hilarious. About 20mins later someone will see it and reset then I do it all over again. 
I make a skinning option available to them near a cliff then another one in the water. Their range on the bots will let them know where the skinning opportunities are even if they didn’t kill the mob.
So, are you implying we should make bots to report the bots, so blizzard’s automated bots can investigate the gold seller bots?
And yes, the crux of the issue is people buy gold, and creating game tokens has been moot.
o.O
Not sure how you came to that conclusion from what I said.
What are “blizzard automated bots”? Don’t think I’ve heard this one before.

Yeah, those “facts” are nothing of the sort.
Posts like that are the basis for the silly urban-legends that float around about how things work behind the scenes, though. Very much like the infamous, non-existent “auto-ban.”
Pushing the above agendas are counter-productive to having a better game.
In Delimicus’ defense, they were just quoting another poster. I don’t believe they are trying to say they agree with that stuff… but that’s neither here nor there.

Kinda odd that my post was flagged. I was showing Perl another post from the player they were responding to that shows what they falsely believe about the GM situation. Hence the:
comment.
I actually composed my original response directed at you, then edited it when I saw the possibility that you were just quoting in an effort to convey how silly those “facts” were.
The way you posted it makes it ambiguous as to whether you are supporting the facts, or disagreeing with them, or whatever.
That’s why it’s getting flags.
There’s nothing ambiguous about it at all, but whatever. I said:
because the things that poster was claiming are common claims despite being false narratives on the Classic forum.
You mean you and one other person (or your alt.)
Ask anyone in the classic community the presence of GM’s and we will tell you from our past experience since september of 2019 that they outright don’t exist and CS is handled by a third party IT firm opening tickets and reading a playbook on how to respond and remedy tickets – and those with any level of complexity are told “sorry can’t help”.
Stand firm, that’s your prerogative.
Clearly most other people see it differently than you.
You watch the responses pour in. You were not clear. People are going to respond as if you were stating those facts, or supporting them.

I didn’t flag you, friend. I don’t flag posts that don’t violate the CoC.
See, look at this:
From what I can tell, the majority of people playing Classic or at least posting about Classic actually believe this stuff.
Yes, that’s clear. Your other post wasn’t.
You did see where I came to your defense, right?
No I didn’t because you edited that post a couple times, yeah? Thanks though.
No, I did not edit that in.
Why would I do such a thing? Are you kidding?
That post remains unedited, clearly.

I watched that post be edited… I’m just not going to fall for this bait anymore. You can edit a post without it showing up as being edited for 5 minutes after making it.
Oh yeah? Crazy how I can edit this right here with no icon.
