Why the hell is there a daily instance cap in TBC? TBC is the most dungeon reliant expansion to exist in World of Warcraft.

To deter botting.
I’m grateful they’ve lowered the cap to 25 per day.

16 dungeons or something like that, glad i can barely run anything. Dang pesky bots! That … the… limit… doesn’t affect… since they switched to rogues pick pocketing so they use the same instance all day long. Its ridiculous to have a limit in BC when most of the instances are very very short.
Thank god, this already existing rule in classic will move mountains in terms of combatting the rampant botting in classic tbc… I would much rather them limit the dungeons someone can do than add the wow token

How does it deter a botter from using 4 rogues in brd versus 1? I mean that might be there lame excuse but in reality bots just make more bots and get around it.
Not going to agree with a subscription based game cutting off legitimate gameplay like some mobile game.

What are you talking about? The daily dungeon limit basically eliminated botting entirely from classic… that’s why this useful and proven solution is being added to tbc.

I don’t think I’ve ever run even 20 dungeons in a day. Heroic tours is as far as I went during TBC and WotLK. After those were done, I wouldn’t want to run dungeons for a while.
If you hit dungeon cap leveling to 70, you can’t enter those dungeons for Kara quest. See the issue?

It’s not just in TBC. They shortened the window of pre-patch and thus basically made boosting characters a requirement to even try to get them into naxx pre launch…
So now it’s essentially a big middle finger to us who wanted to raid with shaman/pally in Naxx. Blizzard didn’t stick with what they said at Blizzcon and are screwing us here with an instance cap that has not done a single thing to stop botting.

I never expected this to be a thing.
Actually, they did
They have.

They’ve prob used some stats and the average player likely doesn’t go beyond that count. What the hell are you gonna do 30 dungeons a day for? go farm in the open world!
Why do you get to decide for other players that “farming in the open world” is a good activity for them? How about YOU farm in the open world and support the freedom for players to do what they find fun

Hard to see what isn’t there.
I will trade not being able to cap dungeons for 9 hours straight or more in a given day if it even moderately inconveniences bots. Like if the person programming them ends up with coffee that’s one degree colder than they like a single morning this year that’s a worthwhile trade.
I get that some people play in big spurts like on the weekend and I agree that Blizzard shouldn’t be policing how people engage with the game as much as is possible, but you also can’t expect them to hamstring themselves for the sake of preserving a wildly degenerate playstyle that .1% of the legitimate population even wants to engage in.
Like really reflect on the sentence you just posted and the fact that you really believed in the obviousness of the “issue” that people should be able to see: you’re talking about what, speed running dungeons to 70 from the second the portal opens until the thing is done, and then needing to do more dungeons for the Kara attunement, so you can then do Kara immediately after? It’s such an absurd thing you just said.
First of all that .1% is most of the classic playerbase. Have you heard of the world buff meta? Instance cap doesn’t deter bots. Thank you for having sympathy though.
