you can buy subs in different countries for the price thats adjusted for that country.
a sub in a few parts of the world is roughly around 5-10 bucks. 3 days of farming, thats at least 15k gold, you just made your sub money back + some, and you have 27 more days of game time.
This isn’t 2008 when they were hacking accounts. These are ‘legitimate’ paid-for accounts. Why? Because it’s worth the investment. And it’s not worth the risk of hacking an account.
Activi$ion clearly doesn’t care about the automated programs. They don’t care about the gold buying and selling. But they do care about account hacking. So the bots have simply eliminated that risk. They now have a thriving business that’s supported by Activi$ion.
its not blizz anymore… if it was blizz they would of calculated loses from killing multiboxing or impact of level boosting and more, this is activision now…
The answer is simple:
It is profitable in very short term. But it’s definitely not in long term.
Losing your brand image will cost you way way more money in long run.
I personally don’t think they are keeping the bots just to make a little more money from bot accounts. I think they are short staffed and they don’t have those true gamer employees who would work over time for free because this game was their passion anymore. You always have big problems when your employees don’t feel personally invested in the project. That’s the culture Activison forced on Blizzard.
I don’t know how much botting there is these days but I 100% know they use to allow it and it did make them a lot of money. They would go through banwaves about every 3 months and all the botters just got new accounts and started botting again. The amount of botters back than was pretty high though. Blizzard pretty much forced botting away for a while until the programming got smarter. There were a lot of forums dedicated to this. Also 1 person could easily crash a server economy from botting which is why you use to see people spamming trade selling mass quantities of mats.
Tell that to the thousands, maybe even millions of scammers operating outside the US and Europe, who spread malware hoping to collect a ransom for peoples’ information, or phishing scams where they steal your accounts for their own use, or random people messaging you on Discord trying to convince you that you scammed them on Steam. 
Have you never heard of those Indian call centers? They’re criminal operations, but they’re actual jobs that operate in an office setting.
Do you have a source for this information? Were you perhaps sitting in on an investor meeting and got to hear them verbally say, “Nah, skip that. We don’t care about that.” when chargebacks are brought up?
((Just kidding. I know you’re just pulling all of this absurd speculation right out of your dooker. ))
You know this, how? ((Haha, kidding – More dishonest dooker stuff, I know))
I am not really a supprter if bots but i am no way ever going to quit because of them. In fact i do enjoy the low mat costs that they privide. Makes the game more enjoyable to me. For the effect they have with creating gold and gold selling, i couldnt care less.
The only problem i have with bots would be if they started to affect battlegrounds. And if both teams have an equal amount if bots then i dont consider that a problem. If i was routinely affected by bots in battlegrounds then i would probably quit. But i am not.
Bots dont affect me. I dont care what other players do and i dont care what bots do, at least in pve content.
Just relaying the information from investors from this forum. When I find the post I’ll quote it then you can apologise to me and suck my balls.
His source is “investors” from this forum, ROFL!
