Why aren't bots banned. Why isn't blizzard doing its job

I have absolutely had it. I am so mad. I don’t care who trolls this posts because I literally cannot be more mad.

I NVIDIA CAPTURE BOTS IN THE GAME and NOTHING is done about them. A guy is literally sitting in BG’s casting spells and moving to avoid AFK. I have filmed it. Reported him.

Untouched.

I want to cancel my sub. It’s so insanely frustrating. What is the point of trying if people can cheat their way through? Why bother? Why dont I just cheat? What’s the point of the game anymore? Cant even win a BG because half of the people are bots.

Blizz. Please respond or I am cancelling all of my accounts. I cannot take it anymore.

They ban bots in waves so it never really seems obvious. They should honestly just pay some guy 20 an hour to ban bots 8 hours a day per server.

I bet people would notice a difference.

I would literally do it for free. If Blizzard is reading this I will literally, FOR FREE, sit on a computer all day and ban bots. Hire me. No benefits. No pay. Just let me ban these bots.

How does that make him a bot? Wouldn’t that just make him a jerk? But if you report him for being a bot and Blizz investigates and doesn’t think he was then :person_shrugging:

They do ban them. Or better word to use is break them. They have to break them first and write the code or whatever they do so their security software catch’s it.

If you report one and its still there for several days, its because they are working on them and then once the code? is installed into the security, the bans go out.

You say that but you don’t get to just ban who you THINK is a bot you have to follow their little method or whatever and only ban who that method says is a bot.

Bots are like roaches,squish one and a thousand more appear.

He spawns in, doesn’t move, casts 1 self spell, waits 3 seconds, casts another self spell, jumps, waits 10 seconds, repeats. Cannot be AFK’d out. Doesnt join combat. Doesnt reply to anything. Exits BG, immediately joins another, does same thing.

If that’s not a bot then Idk what is.

When you want to get rid of ants. Do you run around stomping on them?
or do you find the nest and destroy them all?
Blizzard finds the nest and takes them all out.
I know they ban people for botting. A coworker of mine was banned for 9 months,
yes, 9 MONTHS, for botting. He however admits he was botting.

Just curious, is this a real quit or a Preach quit?

I thought the immersive world and questing experience was enjoyable in classic? What’s up with everybody either spamming dungeons and/or botting? So strange. :dracthyr_tea:

Because just like every other gaming company that doesn’t take anti-cheat seriously, it feels like a big chore and costly to keep up with the tech - or it becomes too intrusive/annoying to the regular user that it is deemed to affect them too much to use it. (Don’t think this part is relevant to Blizzard since they tried to force people to use authenticators+SMS for group listings, among many other little things like that.)

Basically, they just don’t want to spend the money on it and as long as people keep playing the game at a sustainable rate and ‘cheaters’ isn’t a big reason for the leave then it’ll be minimal work. Kinda like how other games, like OSRS is around 30-40% bots entirely.

The way you describe that could just as easily, and likely far more common, be a guy in the bg watching Netflix and keeping himself from going afk.

Should also be hit with a ban… but not necessarily a bot.

Real quit. I am feeling so frustrated with the game. I want to pvp but I can only handle losing so much. Every single BG has a minimum of 2 AFKers or Bots. It makes winning near impossible. Then I put in what time I can to grind PVP and I get killed by a guy in full tier gear (obviously not this second cause tiers arent out, but ya know) who AFK/botted all the way to max gear level.

It’s like what is the point. I debate quitting or just buying tons of gold and armor because I cannot keep up with bots.

Then you see the 50/60 LFG adds WTS RUN GO TO SITE real money buying sites flooding the place daily it’s getting old.

Bots are annoying. Report them and that’s all we can do.

Well, aren’t those bot accounts paying their subs? I guess that if they aren’t getting banned then you can do it too. But its upto you, I won’t risk it.

Just tell them you’re female. :woman_shrugging:

I’m . . . trying to decide who’s got a worse case of bots . . . World of Warcraft or Team Fortress 2 . . .

trick question, its TF2, but the bots here need to be stopped as well.
