Would rather just see them region lock servers and ban VPN connections (yes they can tell when you are connecting via VPN). Make South American, Indonesian, Chinese, Egyptian, and Turkish players (where most of the garbage is coming from) play in their own cesspools.

Did it? Lone Wolf has more Horde than Ally. Even beyond what Blizzard was supposed to allow (delta is 3.4% and the hard cap was intended to be 3%, which means more alliance have quit than the alliance who join + the horde who leave which is kind of crazy).
Remove the streamers server from the equation and I doubt your premise.
found the bigot.

Like they adamantly states, clearly, to not use neutral or low in demand AH systems for large amounts between two chars for meaningless items.
It instantly flags the account and gold gets deleted.
They do the banwaves for 6 months because it allows people that bought the bots service to require their money back, it essentially hurts deeply bot companies.
Piratesoftware explained it sometime ago.
The actual way to end it is to ban people buying gold but good luck convincing the financial department, specially blizzards, to ban people willing to spend more time and more money on your plataform lol.
Complete opposite of my experience playing horde. Projection post.

Paladins are for sure a more popular archetype than shamans. So thereâs your answer.
An account could probably recoup their cost after only 50-60hours.
Their 6 month ban waves (as you can see) donât really deter anything.
Tinfoil Hat Time they enjoy the extra subs.

Looking at Aggrendâs responses on Twitter/X itâs pretty clear that bringing their attention to it just results in mocking.
The trouble is, theyâd take a short-term hit to their bottom-line banning buyers, on the presumption that they might make more money later with improved brand value from defending the integrity of the game. It is exacerbated by the fact that streamers are among the biggest buyers (sometime directly, sometimes laundered through their viewers giving them âgiftsâ), and if they took a hard line theyâd have to ban them, and theyâre getting free/cheap advertising from streamers so they have a conflict of interest. That might be a worthwhile gamble if theyâre a private company that can take the long view, but theyâre (part of) a public company that is mostly concerned with quarterly results, so they arenât going to take the short-term hit and risk when thereâs no guarantee it will work. The streamer buyers would also give them a ton of negative PR instead of free advertising if they got banned.
You spelled ârealistâ wrong. If you want to put on your blinders, go ahead, but many of us live in this thing called the âreal worldâ.
I mean you blanket called multiple different regions garbage⌠not sure how that is real, it is being a bigot.
âBigotry is the possession or expression of strong, unreasonable prejudices or opinions.â
Edit: Saying you would prefer things region locked to prevent language barriers would be one thing, but no, you just are being a toxic bigot with that statement.

Nope, my goal is to always make sure people around me are having a good time. Iâve had all the loot, Iâve done all the things, Iâve made all the money. Even had the good fortune to gift a Spectral Tiger mount to someone. Life is about what you can do for others, and Iâve seen far more self-centered sociopaths on Horde side.
My guess is theyâre pulling it from overall accounts on each server, but arenât actually looking at what those percentages are at 25, or what those percentages are actually doing BFD/Ashenvale.
Itâs a statistics trick people do all the time to defend their position. Like Twain attributes to Disraeli, âThere are lies, damned lies, and statistics.â

So would you argue that the vast number of bots in world are not being controlled by players from outside of the US, because youâd be wrong.
Garbage as it applies to the game. And yes, if you are buying, selling gold, botting, or otherwise breaking the tules, you are a garbage person with little integrity and should really evaluate who you are.
âLife is about what you can do for othersâ
As long as they arenât you know⌠different than you.
Iâve seen more whiny, lazy and entitled elitists on Ally.
Yes I saw that same video but I think the logic is flawed. Consider the followingâŚ
- Botting organizations have continued to operate throughout all of WoW and have only continued to scale up since Classic 2019 launched four years ago. Clearly banwaves are not having any significant impact.
- Only the gold and items held by the accounts that have been banned is deleted. Anything that has been dispersed to other players via the AH or GDKP, remains in the game. So 6 months of gold and items generated by bots remains present in the game, and thatâs a lot.
The only party that benefits from a banwave practice is Blizzard. The game continues to be infested with bots and the game economy continues to be massively inflated.
If Blizzard wants a game free of botting and RMT, itâs time for them to change their approach.

Again, the vast majority of against ToS activities come from those areas. As far as it pertains to his game, that makes them garbage. Try to keep the context with in what it is. Its disingenuous otherwise.

Nice try, you are conflating breaking game rules with actual people. Itâs a useless distraction from the reality of the bad-faith gameplay coming from those areas.
You specifically said âPLAYERSâ not BOTS.
Lol, you are just in so much denial⌠pause man, take a step back, read what you wrote, ask how it could be read, for face value, as you being a bigot.
