That was in classic.
They just set up new accounts and buy the game again.
It doesn’t prove anything. It just proves that most people have a hard time differentiating between let’s say 100 people and 1000 people. Diminishing returns on perception basically. Also, you’re likely using org/sw as your means of gauging it. Since there isn’t much to do in classic, most people just sit in the cities.
Also, retail does not feel like a ghost town at all. Thanks to CRZ, pretty much every city and zone is saturated at almost all hours of the day.
That seems counter productive if they purchased the game again even at $10 a pop thats $740,000 dollars just how much money are these bots making ?
