Have not been playing classic for 2-3 months, but I am willing to bet money those (100-200) bots that ran around hinterlands, burning steps ETC that I reported for MONTHS! are still there botting.

if you hit 30 dungeons a day on a regular basis you should consider finding new hobbies.
For most people doing more then 10 dungeons a day would be allot allready, for us things have improved major!

so its 4am. and, there are bots online. (yes no human farms 24/7)
same ones as before, same weird names xasxasshag 100-120 dhs/druids.
your botting ban is a charade.
and this is on a DEAD alliance realm(draenor EU)
Thanks for the update. And please keep up the good work, still loads of bots running around on Earthshaker.
I started a topic about this - HoJ and Glad Chain farmers
There’s a group of players who do legitimately play the game every waking hour of every day. Heck i bet if you put a limit of 140 hours per week max per account, somebody would complain about it. Pointing out that if it’s their freedom and they aren’t hurting anyone they should be able to do what they want.
I agree with you, however. That’s what freedom is, giving people freedom to make their own choices. Regardless on how good or bad it is for them.
If you want to eat nothing but Mars bars and drink only Sunny Delight, then that’s your privilege I guess.

They must be doing something, yesterday evening for the first time in months we had no queue on shazzrah.
Whether it’s good we don’t know, but atleast our queue is gone.
This is like going to a restaurant, waiting for 2 hours, then getting a plate with 2 peas on it.
“You got your food, and you are still complaining”
How about you think in the context instead of throwing shallow words?
I get you but still the blue post is more than “2 peas”.
At least one problem everyone had was addressed. And that’s Blizzard communication on this matter.
Unlike other problems here Blizzard is showing they try to do something.
I don’t know if 2-3k bans per day are many or not.
But what I do know is that boters are almost impossible to stop as long as people will buy from them. The same bot that was banned today will be up and running by tommorow even on locked servers. How can you deal with that?
If you expect Blizzard to come one day and say “we now solved the bot problem once and for all” that won’t happen never ever because it’s impossible.
We have to be realistic about some stuff.
Why doesn’t Blizzard terminate these BOT-SCRIPTS?
Or limit the use of these scripts to people who realy need this?
I’m a BFA player but pffff still reporting Bot’s …………
I do wonder if some are slipping through the net as it were. For months I’ve seen a player that ticks quite a few herb botter boxes…no guild, follows herb paths without deviation. struggles with ground clutter and steep hills where it will run into a ‘wall’ repeatedly rather than going around it, no response to whisper etc. The same char every now and then however appears to be user operated and the movements change, it manages to avoid mobs and blocked pathing. It has a feel of being a bot for so long then taken over by a person so I do wonder would that still be captured within the data as behaving as a bot if analysed as a snapshot of activity rather than being analysed as activity over a period of time. I am of course assuming some form of analysis takes place rather than a purely automated system of reporting resulting in such decisions.

They are starting to communicate about a problem that was obvious since almost 1 year now
The 2 peas here are this short-term claim about bots
Whereas Blizzard has been accumulating sh-t shows since many months without even bothering to communicate about it
So yeah, this might be viewed as a “start” if the race didn’t start 10 months ago, of course people aren’t still going to be unsatisfied with this
Can we apply for GM jobs? I detect bots every day and wouldn’t mind moonlighting as a GM to ban them.

@Blizzard
Thank you.
I got Rank 10 in PvP playing mostly before AB release and I played AV almost exlcusively b/c I couldn’t find a premade.
I soon realized that what the Alliance missed more was a Leader, so I mostly raid-leaded when someone else wouldn’t. This lead me to get about 45% win rate in AV and further decent honor even when we lost the game thus enabling me to rank up fast. I also queued up with guildies/friends most of the time.
Let me describe to you how was AV for us of the Alliance:
It was like fighting versus two armies of enemies: One was the Horde, obviously, and the other one was the Fifth Column, ppl from within your faction that would be “afk non-participating” or “non-afk AND non-participating”.
The latter kind of AFK’ers, whom I first met in Nostalrius, would stay behind the line of battle mounted and non-afk, farming honor and rep. These were the most frustrating players in the BG.
A different kind of AFK’ers would be Rank 8+ people who would pretend to be “defending” and stay next to a GY node and afk there. They would seem to defending but in reality they were just afk as they didn’t fight when horde attacked. If banned, they reckoned they could just use the excuse “BUT I WAS DEFENDING A NODE NOT AFKING”
Another kind of AFKER was the AV “Caveman”. Would stay in cave and never venture outside it. Some of the Cavemen were afk botting some weren’t. I remember this Caveman complain b/c we reported him afk: " I AM HERE I JUST DON’T WANNA PLAY. "
As a raid leader, I had to coordinate the group, give instructions as well as issue RW’s for ppl to report the various kinds of AV AFK’ers. This was like a full time job. Most of my AV time was devoted to reporting AFK’ers and giving instructions for other ppl on how to efficiently report them too.
So, I really appreciate you banning all kinds of non-participating players. These non-participants really harm BG’s and in addition ruin the fun of other honest players who join a BG to have fun and can’t b/c of the rampant pvp non-participants.
Keep banning them.
