AV Botting and AFKing

This needs to be looked into, many of the top brackets spots are currently held by people anti-afk or useing Orca and other bots.
And this is not something that just happens in pvp, there is bots everywhere. Did your detection program break ?

Please Blizzard, fix this before they get high ranks by cheating. Its not fair for those who seriously try

amen to that! Getting out of hand, the players putting in 16+ hours daily are getting frustrated by having to push like this none stop to combat such players…

I don’t think botters in AV even get close to what the actual rankers are getting per hour.

They pay a sub

Players can kick with multiple votes

Why let it bother you - leave them to it

Really? Nothing wrong with botters or afkers? …

Wouldn’t take much interaction to locate all the bots in active AVs at 4 in the morning as if it is anything like it used to be, 90% of the players would be bots.

I didn’t say that -I said they pay a sub and you can vote kick them

So why let it bother you

It doesn’t affect your game at all real terms- and it’s up to Blizz who they ban

You are allowing somebody else’s behaviour to spoil your enjoyment by getting raged about it

Just ignore it

you clearly have no udnerstanding of how the honor bracket system works.

i wasnt talking to u zmug i was talking to hplovecraft, sorry if it came accross like that. I completely agreee with you, the longer the queue time the more viable a bot becomes for blasting honor and ranking :frowning:

around 80% i’d say of top mandokir players are botting, i’ve been reporting all of them everyday as well as more ppl too and no one has been banned so far, the ranking here is just broken

Really? Going for literally 24/7 you don’t think they’re gaining a lot of honor? Keep in mind that honorkills grant less and less honor for each kill on the same player until you actually get zero.

the bigger the queue the closer it gets funnily enough, the gain from not bottin is in world pvp, if you can find a lot of world pvp in queue times then yeah u can blast bots. But theyre still operating 22-24 hours a day :S very hard to compete with. A lot of people using it just to go whilst theyre asleep as well, so people play for 18 hours and leave bot on for 6 this is really hard to compete with.

People being afk isn’t the root of the problem. The cause is that AV is the best place to rank to begin with.

Remove honor gained lieutenants completely. If this is not enough then reduce honor gained in AV even further. If people want to rank they should be forced to actually PvP. Not stand afk in AV in a solo queue. I don’t really care if this is ā€œblizzlikeā€ or not. It’s terrible for game since it essentially turns PvP ranking into a PvE grind without any need for actually PvP’ing.

And if I’m on a PvE server how much random WPvP do you think I’ll run into during my queue time?
Hint: It’s not there.

yup there is nothing u can do :frowning: its the same with the warsong gulch queue exploit … i made a post about this here Warsong gulch queue exploit - Investigate fast please. Brackets broken - #40 by Jimbobietta-zenedar

well i was replying to hplovecraft too broski. you can see in the upper right corner.

Just open tickets about them and they will be dealt with if they repeatedly go AFK.
Blizzard does take action against them.

there has never been a bot that got a high rank. You need to invest more then just time to get somewhere. And this has been a thing since the dawn of AV way back.

But nevertheless a thing that should not be shrugged of. This needs attention but not just by the devs, also the community. Report them and such and isn’t ā€˜flag as AFK’ a thing?
