Cool, so now undo and the ‘30 Instances per 24 hours lock’, and you are out of the bad graces for a while again.

you dont need to say how you stopped them but just showing the players, blizzards customers, that you are taking action is what we need, square-enix publish the number of bans handed out for RMT and botting monthly to keep players in the loop that they are doing something to combat it, thats all we ask for is an actual response that something is happening more than just turning an old april fools joke into the method of dealing with the issue

Amazing! Stratholme is literally empty now.
Seems like you got all of them.
Can we remove the ridiculous 30 instances per 24 hours cap now?

can you say that you honestly do 30 instances a day? most normal players won’t do that in a week

Should have locked all the servers for a couple of weeks though. Currently 50+ characters between lvl 10 and 15, another 44 characters between 16 and 20 on Earthshaker alliance side. Most of them are without guilds, at 1.40 AM in the middle of the week.

at no point did i say i can’t do it just i dont do it, its not hard to hit the 5 instance lock out in DM on a mage it just bores me as i have better things to do than aoe flowers for 50-100g an hour
i like to play games, and there are better farming sims out there than DM

Well I only looked on my own server.
It took just one working day to ban the most part of it. It makes you think.

how is it uneducated? hitting 5 instances an hour isnt hard doing it for 6 hours is doable but boring so most people dont, hence the comment of normal players, you want to spend you time farming gold go for it, but as i said to someone else there are better farming sims out there to play than DM
First of all its the principle that a lot legit players get hit by this and get punished. Also I personally would have hitten this loads of times. An example is farming hardcore dungeons with some friends using overpriced headsets in the weekend after a week of work and no time to play. The liberty to do things when you want to do them is great, and a charm of classic.
Other things are:
SGC farming
DMT or DME Solo farms
Jed Farm
AoE grinding
And lots of other small things that are less obvious

if you are truly farming a dungeon at max level, i dont mean selling boosts in SM, chances are you are not hitting the 5 runs an hour, you will normally do 2-3 runs an hour if you are fast in them, meaning you will take 10-12 hours of play to hit the lock out.
if you are doing a jump farm on a mage even before the 30 instance lock you would need to farm it for 6 hours, as the 5 per hour lock has always been there, to have done it 30 times if you are doing this then good on you but again i say most normal players wouldn’t spend 6 hours farming a dungeon to hit the lock out

Ot’s not that people do 30 a day. It’s that it was lazy and DID NOT fox the issue. Also if you have multiple characters and use them to farm legitimate gold I can see how you will hit 30 a day.
i fully agree it was a lazy “fix” on blizzards part as i said in an earlier post they literally took an april fools joke and used it to fight the bot problem

Glad to see this , maybe create a realm for multiboxers only so that normal players don’t have to deal with it.
