Where are you? It has to be possible to design a bot that hunts down other bots in a given zone and kills them. Some one get on this right away. WOW needs a robocop to patrol the streets and restore order.
Most of these bots login or respawn at the same place, or run the same loop, seems like one could create a counter bot to kill and camp them right? Sure you might die to it if you are afk but thats just collateral damage we have to accept. Who has the skills to do this? ;p
Would that be referred to as BvB?
Blizz would probably ban this…
This is probably how Skynet gets created.
Yes lol. 10char
They need to unleash the Starcraft II Alphastar AI into wow and give it 5 mage accounts with the sole purpose of bot murdering.
Unlimited APM restrictions of course.
Blizzard could make millions just releasing YouTube clips of it making farmers cry.
Or just have Alphastar learn to identify potential bot accounts?
That would be the “game” it gets trained to play — Find the Bots!
Yesss, let the botocalypse bgein.
Naw.
Use multi billion dollar AI to troll the inferior scripts and flex on them.
Why the hell else would you build an AI?
(I preemptively apologize to our future AI overlords).
What we need is a dev to have the novel idea that when a character is in air, they should go down (falling) not up (fly exploit) and ban those going up instead of down. How hard can that be my god.
I was able to figure out a way to get a botting mage killed 13 times (on a PVE server mind you!) before it was taking too long between respawns and my play time was over.
I took solace in the fact that I noticed it would take a potion every time it was low health until it ran out of potions. I followed it back to town to watch it repair and head back to the same spot twice.
I also saw about 30 hunter bots in Stonetalon farming the Harpies. It was actually pretty crazy to see all of the bots in the same area.
They’re called game masters and Blizz doesn’t employ them any more due to budget constraints.
Why make a bot to kill bots when the community can come together to hunt bots down?
Thats not a bad idea. Every server needs a bot hunter disc
You could just sit outside of Stratholme, BRD, DM-T, and ZG to murder them.
Imagine if they banned that, but left the other bots alone.
That would be such a blizzard thing to do at this point
Game Masters never went around hunting and banning bots. They also haven’t had a reduction in CS staff since 2012.
If I start to work on this, it will take me 1 year, full time to get to a “first release” - I could do this while streaming and teaching how others could do the same. Would you work to get me enough viewers to pay my mortgage (or other funding that would support my family?)
Many people, whose skills are in demand and being paid for. This is somewhat akin to asking, “What mages are able to boost characters to 60 in under 3 days played? Can you make yourselves known, transfer to Skeram and do it for 1000 players, so we can get some Alliance on that realm?”
Litterally bladerunner
