One thing that really sad with retail is all the old zones are 100% dead, you dont see a single player. Would you be for or against blizzard creating AI/Bots that ran around the old world, killing, mining, everything so they looked 100% like another player, so you had the feeling like the old world was still alive?
Against ofc !! I will always vote fore more ppl jobs then automated bots!

More people would never happen. We been playing wow for so many years, all prev. EXP zones just dies.
Back when we had all the bots, the wold were alive 
I mean, this kinda already exists with certain followers, or the very very old wolf chasing a mouse back in Vanilla so it’s not new or anything.
There was a time where bots did not existed on ppl jobs. such as reports, tickets etc.

Not sure we are talking of same thing here
I mean fully AI bots, like ChatGPT+ . If you /w a bot he will anwer you like a real person, you would never know its a bot. That type of super AI bot.
Bots back in the day, ran around herbing and mining, so you would see “people” . now every zone is a ghost town
I see… Well I was attacking Bots that are responsible of tickets, reports, etc. Things that need a real person to sort it out.
PS: the return items bot is okay. Some bots can be good. Some!
Against, because I think it’d be intentionally misleading for new players on how alive various content of the game is, which does matter in a mmorpg.
Also, it’d create an uncanny valley feeling, and also annoy in world pvp, because I wanna see players easily, when I do sparks
Absolutely against.

I wouldn’t like them to pretend to be other players, but I do think it would be cool if NPCs had more fun pathing, or at some level of freedom to make the world feel more alive.
We also have the fake traveller npcs running in the portal rooms.
No thx .you can keep your bots at home .I would rather be insulted by a real human being while doing my content in game .
Fancy chatbots are still just chatbots. True AI does not exist.

Against. How is this is even a question???
If zones are empty, then all they have to do is add an incentive to go there.
This suggestion makes it even worse.
These serve a role: To show a player which portal to take to go to a destination. It’s not really intuitive though.
That’s an absurd idea and furthermore wouldn’t the narrative then be “Too many bots and no players roaming the old zones” ?

I had someone inviting me after a very onesided boring bg,ignored it met him next day and he whispered me : Are you ai?
bruh, cringe. what would that solve?
Against… Instead they should give players a reason to visit old zones.
And they have the tools to do so.
They could use Phasing to make World Quests that are actually all over the world, instead of the small piece of the world we’re currently in.
They could allow us to do Chromie time at max level, if someone wanted to quest through old zones, without making a new character or one shotting everything.
I’d also love to see them “borrow” the Leveling Roulette from FFXIV, making sure that Dungeons across all levels and expansions are always populated and expanding the dungeon pool for max level players, so we can actually play all the games dungeons, instead of just the few that in the current season.
