Can we call them anti-bot-ies?
Thank for providing the article. It was an interesting read.
But nowhere in it do they say anything to the effect of:
I saw them when I was trying to do my loremaster, and that wasā¦ three months ago I think, reported them at the time but didnāt get any in-game mail from gm.
I could be wrong, but I have several versions. For example, if this is a group of bots, they are often in the same guild and most likely the accumulated gold is stored in the guild bank.
Also, if I remember correctly, there is a function where you exchange the game token for real money in the Blizzard wallet. Thus, bots first accumulate gold, then exchange gold for a game token, and the token is already for money in the wallet. From the wallet, they make a gift supposedly to a friend, that is, they buy another game for another account.
The accumulated resources can simply be sold at the auction, sent to the main account, or stored in the bank.
So if I decided to start botting now, I donāt have to worry about anything, at least for a few months because thereās zero repercussion? Now I feel like all those time I used to farm Skyreach manually was wastedā¦
At least you are an honest person.
Unfortunately, according to my observations, bots continue their activity for a long time even after reports, and this is a sad fact. During this time, they have already managed to accumulate enough funds to buy new accounts.
How is it hateful?
Sorry ,Iām late took a nap. Sure there are lone farmers I use to be one on this toon but it can turn on you with people that would falsely accuse you of being one for theyāre reason. Besides,I did see you there so Iām not accusing you.
By assigning a label without definition or context you can attach the labels implied concept to the intent of the communication.
Edit I removed something here (this will just confuse i think) so I removed it
But in that time Blizz has learned how they do what they do without flagging Warden
and how to make sure they do get caught which in turn reduces the number of bots there could have been.
But how long does it take? This time is more than enough to create another army of bots. Although Blizzard is engaged in the destruction of programs for bots, dishonest people are already preparing new versions. For many years Blizzard has been acting with his own methods, but the result is the same - bots are everywhere and for a long time.
So why not try new methods?
This is why they need to limit nodes to one for a wow account daily. This will stop bots in their tracks. They need to also put a cap limit on the AH for what you can price out for profession materials to 100% over vendor value. That will stop botters from ripping off AH purchasers with price gouging practices.
Thatās right, the auction also has problems with bots. If earlier using the auction was a pleasant part of the gameplay, now it is a constant struggle of lots.
Blizzardās loyal attitude towards bots is really sad.
Its almost like all of blizzards problems could be solved if they just HIRED MORE DEVS!
You may be special and always stuck in the same place in the textures of the game, but in all other cases this is obviously a sign of a bot.
