Again Blizzard you’re hurting real players more than the gold farmers. You literally are only funneling more money to gold buying websites as now more players have less options to make money while the bots and gold farmers will nonstop take every mining vein or herb in sight. Also not to mention they will dual box or use multiple accounts to keep farming, something normal players won’t do.
Is this a big lead up to bring out a WoW token? How incredibly greedy can you be. It’s already incredibly apparent you purposely don’t ban gold farmers because you are so greedy you want their sub money. You care so little about player base is baffles me. I get it’s all about dollars but at some point do you ever care about hurting real players?
Of course no comment on any of this forums as you blizzard reps never speak to any of us and instead just sit back and cherry pick some dumb topic for your once a week post.
Yep, the cycle of “o this is a fun way to make gold” to nerf continues while obvious bots run around on every server with everyone seeing them and minimal fixed being applied. There’s still pick pocket rogue bots in BRD years later, but the gold farm real players do gets nerfed. Seems reasonable.
shamelessly plugging my thread i just made in here as well because i am looking for clarification on this question asap.
For reference;
Raids will now count towards the 5 instance-per-hour limit.
Developers’ notes: The hourly instance limit prevents players from entering instances that they’ve entered at least once already within the last hour. With this change, farming a dungeon should not prevent you from entering a raid instance, so long as you don’t attempt to reset and re-enter that raid instance multiple times.
The big one here for me is the following sentence;
Developers’ notes: The hourly instance limit prevents players from entering instances that they’ve entered at least once already within the last hour.
Does this mean you can only run a specific dungeon once per hour?
Hoping we can get clarification on this or if its some poor wording. Otherwise this would be a massively horrible change and completely un-needed. It would completely gut dungeon grinding and I can see a massive uproar of anger at it.
I’m convinced Blizzard owns the gold farming bots/websites and purposely funnels people to them to make side money.
It would be one thing if they were constantly banning the gold farmers. There’s been someone I added to my friends list to track. They’ve been in slavepens farming almost 24/7 for months.
Never banned. Why? Because blizzard wants the money
As a rogue who was planning to farm kara, I don’t even care about the gold. I want to know how this effects doing dungeons in any capacity. One instance run (of the same instance) per hour is a HUGE limitation for leveling, rep grinding, gear farming, etc.
We need a blue to clarify - especially since they’re dropping this change at the 11th hour.
It feels the same as the normal dungeon lockout, been doing the kara trash farm on my pally, after 5 resets couldnt enter the raid, or any other dungeon, like how it normally works.
You’re nuts if you think there wouldn’t be hundreds of bots in Kara farming gold. Current hard gold farms are ~300 an hour. Kara hard gold bot farms would be triple that.
Equalizing the dungeon and raid lockouts to 5 an hour doesn’t seem to be a big deal. I could see why the 30-a-day lockout for dungeons was a problem back in Classic (this go removed for TBCC) for some because there were reasons for that complaining, but this just seems like a really petty thing to gripe about.
If someone can explain a non-selfish reason (as selfish reasons are next to worthless) about why this would matter it would be nice. Otherwise, it just seems like more whining over a non-issue.
By the way, Blizzard does ban bots, they sometimes just take too long, and on the locked servers they can’t even come back right now.
I’ve been reporting many bots, probably over 100, in the last week. These are bots that I actually looked at and gave specific reasons as to why they were bots and not just doing /who Blood Furnace and clicking names.
I have received 8 mails. There is literally a range-hacking AH bot on my server that I reported with time stamps and everything that didn’t get banned. Range-hacking as in you post an item, you see it bought out immediately and you can’t even see the person at the AH. I triple checked layers and it was not an issue of layering, either.
