Ty for strengthing my case. 6 million players is a damn sight more difficult to keep track of than the measely 2000 that your average private server had.

They should def do something about that. It always amazed me how bad Blizzard are at responding at the forums. They have someone employed as Community Manager to do what? They never responds… never even check the forums it seems.
Nostalrius had 800,000 accounts on one server… Free to create also. And they had the Chinese community there… So yeah, your case is dead. Especially since there was less bots when they had 6 million players compared to today when it’s like a 6th of that on modern servers and a modern client. I can understand if we had a lot of bots the first few months when Blizzard wasn’t prepared for the huge success, but now, after 1 year, there is no exuse.

Its not dead though is it? 800k accounts is just a number but they never had 800k players online at one time did they?
Blizzard easily have 1-3m players online on classic alone right now.
Your post and all of your points are just pointless in that you want Blizzard to somehow do a better job at tackling bots when they are faced with a far higher number of bots to deal with than what we have seen on any private server.
Your posts and your point’s scream the lack of knowledge you have regarding this subject.
They had constantly 13k online at the same time with 4 daily peaks for EU/Russia/Aisa/Ocian/America.
You are so ignorant that it’s scary… But sure they have made over 100 million euro in profit on a copy of 14y old game… You don’t think it’s reasonable to spend more on game Masters?
Again, they have made over 100 million euro in profit dude. And they are doing a MUCH worse job than ANY other game I have ever played, including free to play private servers.
Your a troll and a disgrace to this community. Defending bots. Defending Blizzards lack of action against bots.
I bet you doesn’t even play Classic.
Ignored
Id argue the disgrace to the classic community is someone who comes onto the forums to sling mud at a company by being so blind and ignorant to think that Blizzard only has to pay for servers.
They are a business and if you didnt think like a 12 year old you’d realize that they dont just keep pumping 100% of profits made into the same game.
They have various franchises ranging from Starcraft/Diablo/Hearthstone/WoW and now with the fact they’ve joined activision they are always involved with Call of duty games. If you stopped to think how a business is run instead of thinking like an over emotional manchild for 2 seconds you’d be able to see the various points that myself and many others have been saying.
I do play classic im on Mirage Raceway and have 2 60s with a plethora of alts.
Just because I dont share your childish blind rage towards a VIDEO GAME company doesn’t mean im a troll or a disgrace, i also have never defended bots as you say I am saying the same thing i’ve said since the beginning which is that bots are harder to keep track of when you have such a large amount of players.
If you got your head out of the sand for a moment you’d understand that its a damn sight harder to keep track of 1-3 million players at a time than even the 12k that Nostalrius had to keep track of.
Also the game doesn’t just shut down when the Blizzard work day finishes so regardless of how many times you’ve reported the suspected bot they still have to be investigated by someone if it means they will lose their account otherwise we’d land up with a situation where cry babies like yourself will get banned for being a bot because it became an automated system.
Your the disgrace to the classic/wow community purely for the fact that you make the rest of us look like ignorant over emotional children who can’t fathom how a company and its employee’s work.
Honestly get a grip and realize your just being stupid at this point.

You mean to tell us that a company several times larger than its 15 year older counterpart, receiving practically free cash from paying for a few server farms, can’t set aside a budget for a couple interns per server to examine logs and look for bot patterns? All while its 15 year older counterpart did that in increasing capacity. Well you’re right, someone does have to pay for bobby kotick’s new 100m yacth.

Just report the dude, all he does is argue with people and when they post a decent counter argument against his rubbish he ignores them.

Yeah he seems to be someone who is less interested in an actual debate and is more interested in finding people who think Blizzard is some big evil company.
It amazes me that these people are allowed to vote or handle their own finances.

Did you quit yet?
I cancelled my sub when a I made this thread. Sub ends in January. I’m gonna use it until then but if the bot situation doesn’t improve by then I will look elsewhere.
We both know you’ll come crawling back. Your integrity to the bots situation will last until your bored and have nothing else to do.

Bot user numbers r growing up. Every realm on dreanor is conqured by bot users. They r running in same route, atacking mob and looting them for 15 hours nearly in a day. I reported all of them but its never end, growing up day by day 
The way you attack his points and the way you defend Blizzard is a bit strange tbh. He is not wrong that Blizzard is really handling the botting situation very poorly, and that they could clearly do more about it if they just spend some money. I mean, opting for automated reporting systems to reduce the number of GM’s is pretty obviously done to save money, at the cost of customer service. It’s not that Blizzard is an evil company but rather that they’ve gone from customer-oriented to money-grabbing. Ofc, we are paying the same fee as we did 15 years ago so a lesser product is to be expected. Personally I’d rather pay more and have better service…

Only 1 employee per server would be more than enough to prevent all bots in that server.
He check /who and famous grind points. Than he just check 1 hour skill log. Thats all.
OR
Just make botting legal and give all of us blizzard-made ingame botting option.
Yeah, heck, one per region who focus on this could be enough to get rid of most of the bots…
lol, legal botting would just make everyone do it. That would be terrible.
If they are stupid and don’t want to lose the income from bots it will hurt them in the long run by turning real players away from the game and giving Blizzard a bad reputation (which they don’t seem to care about anymore).
Can you imagine scenario where blizzard game losses subs one by one over a period of time bcs people don’t like the state of the game and then blizzard says there are better things to measure success than sub numbers in mmo game
While I don’t think the botting is bad enough that it’s killing the game or anything, it is pretty sad that it would take a single person like a week to get rid of more than half the bots in europe, but that’s an uphill battle.
The biggest problem is that people buy gold. Start more actively going after gold buyers and the bot situation will solve itself.
