Whats with the Bot problem

I play on Sargeras, and while levelling alts, at least 3 times today, I came across ridiculous amounts of fresh 50 druids in balance spec, all running on scripted paths and blowing up everything in sight. They tend to have names that look like someone dragged their hand on a keyboard and its not getting any better day by day, though they do tend to move locations.

Most recently Gorgrond, and Suramar. I don’t see a way to set a ticket for the issue and its likely they will move before the service team looks at it.

they are in bottanica also
kinda funny they use mounts and not the flight form lol

Spend 5 minutes of your gametime right clicking and reporting is what they want us to do now!

also they use store mount also
i saw 2 store mounts one had the golden drake
and i would like to say the sparkle horse all in the same guild with funny names

Lord, I hate that mount. HotA reminds me of something insufferable from my old MMO. Millennial flight made me blind lmao

My Mage couldn’t do the Quest to rescue the Goblins for the Scavanger Hut Garrison Quest three days running.

It’s very frustrating. :seedling:

so are you telling me that banning multiboxing didnt fix the bot problem? why did they ban multiboxing then?

I think its a not enforcing it thing

Probably because they didn’t ban multiboxing?

Because the multibox fix didn’t work and couldn’t work.

Just report them. They will be mass banned.

Wiggles toed in room

why affect people than enjoy playing with multiboxing then?, its a playstile that have being around 16 years, but suddendly with the excuse of bots you just ban the software that make possible to multibox in an easy and unexpensive way…just saying this should be reverted. Its clear that bots dont need broadcast software at all to make them work.

Restrict free to play with a subscription accounts to 20k gold cap. 2k resource cap. and other restrictions account wide, cannot be gifted bnet balance , if they purchase an expansion then they are lifted. Then they cant use gold to buy subs or battlenet balance.

people who play free account with a sub either check it out for a month and quit or buy the expansion, or they are using it for a classic sub.

making it harder or worth less to open tons of free to play accounts that they can gift a bnet balance too and use gold to fund the entire thing is the problem.

you’re opening up a can of worms here, dude. this will end up a megathread full of a bunch of people literally crying and shaking , posting over and over again, because they were one shot by a multboxer instead of taking 2 minutes to go to org/sw and turning WM off. essentially any money advantage they can afford is fine. anything they can’t afford though…? that’s cheating!

That has been happening quite a bit in Nazmir and Suramar on my server. They did ban some of the accounts when I reported but in two days they were back at botting

I saw a few bot packs…not boxers…they looked nothing like a boxer mob…these were all running individually, but had similar names.
What gave them away is the indirect path they keep taking between NPCs…taking a 'V" shaped path back every time instead of a straight line like any human being would have just to save the time, lol.

Both times I reported them they were gone very quickly.

I don’t know why you are quoting me lol, I don’t care either way about multiboxing. I’m merely telling the other guy that the multiboxing “ban” didn’t work because it doesn’t exist.

They didn’t ban multiboxing. Just the software folks used tomultibox with. Like bot hackers ever needed multiboxing software anyways lol. It’s why they are called hacks, or hackers.

Exactly. They’ll just fire up 20 more bots.

they are also running rampant in the wod leveling hubs. killing fungal giants for some odd reason.
