Sugar, there are no ingame GM’s. If there were the botting/hacking problem would be NEARLY so out of control.

It’s like they’re on Blizzard payroll or something. I swear they hire forum supporters instead of CMs nowdays.

Ive always wondered if there was an underlying legal reason that Blizz cant just ban people outright. Is there legal repercussions if they ban alot of innocent people. Obviously private servers didnt have any legal worries so they could ban at will. Just a curious thought.
They should just ban 100 random accounts a day, that’ll teach em.
It’s not a legal issue, it’s a greed issue. Blizzard takes their time banning bots because they make money off of the bots.
This isn’t even Blizzard anymore. This is Activision… you know… the company the rereleases the same first person shooter every year and charges you another $60. They care about nothing but their bottom line.
You’re a lawyer or do you work for Blizzards legal department?
Oh god, this guy. What is up with this mob of people defending the botters? Are you just trolling because you believe blizzard can do no wrong? Or maybe you’re really just that dense?

I asked a simple question of wonder. I wonder if they have to worry about anything legally when banning people. You said they did not. I assume since you knew the answer to my question that you had some knowledge i didnt about the subject. I saw nowhere of me defending anything just you attacking me. So let me ask again. Are you aware or know of any legality issues that Blizz has to deal with when banning people?
Sorry, I’ve been dealing with some pretty heavy ignorance in this thread.
Nah I don’t think they have an issue with that. They’d cover their tail in the “accept terms and conditions” part.
Wish we could sue Blizz for being a corrupt mess tho. I honestly feel like they owe me money for policing their game for them lol.

No problem. I gots me an attitude issue sometimes. Its just something ive always wondered because I really cant figure out why theyd wait so long to ban obvious bots. Its insane.

Lol yup they’ve already been here.
If you view everyone as ignorant, it’s time to self reflect.

I mean you might as well cut out the middle man and just grab an account and let it bot 24/7 because by the time it gets banned youll be near gold cap anyway.

im confident i could almost single handedly keep a server clean of bots.
i mean a GM has access to everywhere, every raid ID>
ghost into a raid ID, watch the players. does it look like its automated? okay insta ban. move to next instance ID.
done with instances? move to open world and insta tele to player locations and watch them for a few minutes.
spend 2-3 hours a day doing this and bots are essentially done for.
but blizzard cant be bothered to spend a fraction of a % of their PROFITs to improve the quality of their products.

Yep, Activision doesn’t give one solitary 4%$ about the bot problem. Then when the problem is so bad that you’re forced out of desperation to make a post on the forums about the botting problem, you’re immediately bombarded by forum trolls with thousands of posts like Chucktaurus and Bozho (does he even play classic?) trying to defend Activision and make you think it’s the players’ fault that Activision doesn’t enforce the rules of the game.
It’s tragic really.

Imagine believing everything just because somebody told you.
Of course not, why would Activision be enforcing rules for a game they have nothing to do with?
Blizzard’s CS team numbers around 1,000. You think they could solve the botting problem by increasing their team by 0.1% but don’t because it would cost them 50k a year?
The botting problem likely costs them millions of dollars a year.

Here’s some reading to do if people here actually want to learn something, instead of conjuring up false narratives based on absolutely nothing but their own disdain towards this company they continue to funnel money into:
