Why Is The Average Casual So Complacent Or Even Happy About The 30 Instance Cap

Didn’t they state it was to put a stop to botting? Or at least to slow it down?

Hmm, the words used were “exploitative and automated gameplay.”

@Kaivax

As part of our ongoing efforts to eliminate exploitative and automated gameplay, with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we’re implementing the following change to our settings on all WoW Classic realms:

• You may now enter a maximum of 30 unique instances (dungeon and raid) per day, per realm.

Which leaves me wondering whether there may be some significance to 30 unique instances/day as a restriction that somehow helps with identifying botters, or if it’s some some arbitrary restriction that signals “look, we’re doing something,” when it doesn’t actually do anything.

It could also mean that for some reason they are suggesting that running more than 30 unique instances a day is exploitative.

It would be helpful to have some clarity on what this change is intended to achieve.

EDIT:

There’s a little more clarity given in the Hotfix:

@Kaivax

The intention behind both of these restrictions is to reduce the profits for new bots when they first come online and haven’t been removed yet.
