Thank you Blizzard for finally banning the botters in a massive banwave a week before TBC! Especially after not doing a damn thing about it for 15+ months in Classic WoW!
Now the botters will have to buy new accounts and subscriptions to continue botting, massively inflating your quarterly stats which can be directly correlated to the launch of TBC!
I can only assume that this 15+month-in-waiting-ban-wave trend will continue into TBC where you let bots absolutely the economy again and again!
Thank you so much Blizzard. Keep up the excellent work to make this game better than it ever was!
It would be interesting for you to show what you mean by “wave” in “banwave.” Bans happen continuously.
This might feel like a wave, since a lot of people are being banned, but the reason they are being banned is something that people have been being banned for for quite some time…
They banned all the bots to get their $$ from new boosts. The 58 boosts could be a good thing, it incentivizes them to ban the bots so they buy a boost then reban. A new cash flow.
True enough. Maybe they actually did do a wave… when I was running around on my druid yesterday I noticed an ungodly amount of Thorium was actually spawned with no one in sight to mine it. Almost got on my miner but I am done with that for now.
That said… last night in a couple zones they amount of what would have been “auto hunter” users in Dark Age of Camelot made questing pretty much impossible.
yeah this wave seems perfectly timed as if they knew who the bots and cheaters were all along and are choosing to ban them now to sell more subs and boosts to look good for their quarterly review. this company is so blatantly corrupt and irredeemable at this point, if tbc wasnt reputed to be as good as it was id be done with blizzard forever. i quit call of cash grab ages ago, the brief amount of time i was on shadowlands nearly made me quit wow forever. if tbc wasnt happening id wash my hands with blizzard.
Not sure about botters but I and many others were banned yesterday for nothing. This was a huge blow to me and many others and I personally was full meltdown and panic. I have never botted or cheated. I literally just hit 60 on my BE paladin after being super sweaty for the week. I put my ticket in and magically 2 hours and 4 minutes they randomly unbanned me. Hopefully others that had this issue had the same result. I was able to do naxx last night and got a few ups so I am very happy. However I forgot to grab echoes of war like a pleb due to my time and full panic of the situation so I have 2 useless pieces of tier now unfortunately. Oh well still happy my issue was resolved… thx blizz
Last time I reported a bot , I got an in game mail back from blizz saying thank you for the report and that it was indeed a bot. It took about 2 days , so it was pretty fast.
Imagine not knowing bans have happened all along with several large waves and being so salty that you can’t even be happy that they are taking action, yet again.
