Should be relatively simple to detect that someone has been in the same small area for hours and just dc them.
You don’t know what a bot is? Are you kidding me? There have been bots in wow since 2004. You are obviously part of the problem. Really. Shame on you for advocating this crap.
You can’t read. I said bots are already detectable and prove they are using bots to avoid going afk. (I already know you can’t but that is the rhetorical purpose of the post you can’t comprehend)
Is someone standing in one place typing in chat exploiting in your eyes? You would probably try to say yes. They aren’t. They don’t have to play the game the way YOU say is acceptable. They can stand there all day and chat if they want. But of course, you’d lump them in just because they aren’t running around.
very easy to do with a programmable keyboard, to just have your space key just jump you every few seconds. Do not even need a macro, and it will keep you logged in.
Well it is a shame that that does literally nothing. Auto running doesn’t stop you from afk detection.
People doubt the number of people who are avoiding AFK dcs through unsavory means? Lol.
I mean, proof is best, but common sense and opening your eyes is pretty effective sometimes too. This isn’t science.
It’s not even hard to do with zero computer skills.
Gifs all over of dudes using a desktop fan to hit spacebar. YW
Anyways, I came here to say that I think that’s one reason why the servers reset several times a day. It disguises crashes as resets. I’ve been waiting in the queues and I’ve seen many times where people report an outage and then i jump 2000-4000 spots in the next minute or so when the botters can’t relog.
Bliz takes the flack from people blaming their servers and hard work, but they are doing it for the small fish in line.
/tinfoil
Common sense isn’t that common sadly. Mind playing that game with them is pointless anyways you can literally post page after page after page of video and photo proof and it won’t be enough
Can’t show you a video cause can’t log in. Waiting in Que.
Lmao all these people saying there’s no proof. Go to any inn or even starting zone and just look at it. Bring it up in general and watch the people leap to their keyboards to angrily mash “IT’S MY WAY TO PLAY THE GAME”
Everybody knows exactly what they’re doing, nobody is buying your arguments. I have the screen shots to back it up but Blizzard isn’t letting me post links.
no, I’m the guy that got on before my friends did, grinded on an alt for 3 hours waiting for them, they’ve moved down in queue about 5,000 spots, still have about an hour or so before they make it through the queue, and I’m not going to get off because I need to cook food, because then my friend will have to wait 8+ hours to me just to log back in, you idiot
Some people literally log in just to troll trade chat all day. Not my cup of tea, but it’s their $15/month.
Agreed - even if the q is 100 ppl shorter that would be good…
via reports. People on those offending servers need to report. Nothing the playerbase cant solve themself.
they restart when it doesn’t matter, up until about noon there is no queue on most if not all servers. so knocking them off at 7 to 10 o’clock does nothing
Should Method get banned as well for paying a guy to keep their accounts online?
I actually have proof of someone with an autoclicker jumping into a wall at exactly every 15 seconds for over an hour. Never went AFK once. Could have been someone doing that for him, but every 15 seconds on the dot is extremely suspicious.
How about instead of banning the player base, they work on properly supporting them so they don’t have to do that…?
BAN PEOPLE SO I CAN PLAY just comes off as so insanely selfish.
Yes, permaban for account sharing as well.
Sorry but unless he logged into his own computer, having a person in your house moving your characters around isn’t account sharing. That’d be like saying “Oh, your cousins playing on your computer? BANNED” plus there’s no way to verify that he’s even the one on there. Blizzard doesn’t have cameras in people’s homes.
