Few months ago while i was running ZG, i saw what the focal point of WillE’s video on botting shows, but essentially on a far smaller scale. Just droves of bots flying from/to the sky and plopping wherever they deem fit, without a singular care of being banned
Had even ONE GM been online at any area of interest (ZG back, STV GY, Dwarf/Gnome starting zone or Orc/Troll starting zone) they would have just shot them down like a game of Duck Hunt.
But nope, it’s up to US to single handedly right click report each and every single one of these bots. No, no, so what if these bots you allege are inside their dungeons/raids, you should know who it is and do something!
i never really liked will-ie’s videos. it always sounds like pandering and him reaching for that 10 minute mark. and his titles and thumbnails are always at maximum clickbait potential. like, if will-ie wants to make videos about wow classic dont make it obvious that you only care about your income
He’s a hyper casual trying to bait out the maximum amount of views for sure, but the most recent video is basically a massive “how asleep is blizzard at the wheel” that everyone has been trying to point out in these forums. But, like a perfect patsy, Blizzard
removes videos/screenshots with players names discernably shown because it becomes “witch hunting”
tells you to report them ingame
tells you to submit their footage to them in some email address that realistically is not checked often
you think blizzard has the money to PAY for GMs?! Like REAL people sitting at a computer with the ability to ban them?! This is a SMALL TINY indie company, you can’t possibly expect them to be able to fit that in their budget!
blizzard seems to think that by having minimal interaction with its own community they can get by with minimal bot bans. i remember hearing stories of people posting videos of bots and reporting them and the bot would still be online weeks and indefinitely after they have been reported with video evidence of botting dire maul north for example.
They obviously don’t really care, or else at the very least the LUA unlocks would be fixed. We’re way beyond fly hacking at this point; people are giving themselves exp boosts and epic items. This is quite embarrassing.
