Blizzard you need to get cracking on the PVP botting situation

What bots can you prove they are bots beyond ignoring you does not mean= bot.

I have methods you won’t understand.

This is a blue post from 2008 (the Old Blizzard), not 2019 (the new Blizzard). Not really relevant anymore.

If player AFK in Battleground, they have to fix the root cause (premade vs pugs). I honestly never heard of anyone being ā€œbanā€ because he’s AFK in BG, fishing, or whatever else, in Classic. And even if it’s the case, they are not permaban but it’s likely a 4 day ban for ā€œDisruptive Gameplayā€. And it’s not like 2/3 afk in your BG make you ā€œwin or looseā€ in AV.

I already report them AFK, and they get no honnor unless they start to play again.

It’s pretty annoying. Especially when it doesn’t feel like blizz bans them or does anything and most of the time we don’t even know if they have when they have etc.

Would be nice to know when blizz bans botters and how many etc.
I still see botting levellers at 2am etc it’s obvious, as opposed to just some nolifer levelling. They won’t even react to a skull enemy faction player right in their face, they just auto target the next mob, walk towards it and attack etc.

Bot in AV is not a myth because you are following a ā€œbot communityā€.
A simple program that automates afk dodging does not require some advanced bot like gliderbot or honorbuddy (because those bots actually went and capped objectives, killed balinda, lieutenants etc. they just keyboardturned and autohit in pvp situations.). A simple bot that just emulates mouse clicks or keyboard strokes can be written by anyone, even an ape. All they have to do is perhaps read the documentation of their OS, not even that is required, there are so many ways of doing it.

Besides, a botter is actually more usedul than the netflix slacker, the bot at least contributes to the team by actually attempting to cap objectives.

Account sharing is not against ToS if it’s a family member

yes it is. only minors are allowed to account share with one(!!!) of their parents or guardians. the rules are very clear cut.

Blizzard AS ALWAYS will do nothing. They say, you can report them so they wont get any honor. So im fking playing customer to report multiple people, who gets no punishment just wont get honor, while Blizzard grabs money from both of us.

Well done Blizzard.

Account sharing is literally uncatchable if you have the same IP adresss.

For example, if I share my account with my brother and we are in the same house, with same Internet Provider (so same public IP address), there’s no way for Blizzard to tell if it’s me that play the game or my brother.

So it’s exactly what I said. It’s not a bot, but simple AFK’er. And there’s a report AFK button that prevent them to get honor ^^. And the simple way to counter it for Blizzard, is to remove the ability to get honor in the cavern :slight_smile: . And at least, AFK’er don’t break the bracket, I often see them in cavern, they don’t get honor kill, while legit player get HK and have more honor per BG. Same for people that fish or farm mob in AV.

Don’t be delusional, the road to R14 is not a road with fairness. On my server, there’s people that share account, some guys rotate at night with their brother so they can get 24/24 AV and they have multiple account to summon themselves with a Warlock in Searing Gorge or Wetland to make HK while in queue, there’s AFK’er that grind while watching Netflix, there’s people on Alliance side that call Horde friends to make 90 low Alliance level so they can increase the amount of pool size for this week. R14 road is full of people that will tryhard their life to get it.

We can blame player for that, but the reality is the ranking system of Vanilla is literally unhuman and favor all sort of sorcery.

Also, a good way to counter AFK in cavern is to bump them with Snow ball outside of BG in red portal :slight_smile: .

Blizzard wants money. Wont ban anyone. Deal with it.

so you’re gonna tell me blizzard won’t raise an eyebrow when they see you online literally 24/7? i mean yeah you’re probably right, but anyone with a spit of logical sense or even just common sense would, since no human can live without sleeping.

and even when account sharing someone at least has to log in on your account, when botting you can literally just 24/7 it and clock in 168 hours a week.

Loads of screenshots floating around on the internet of people botting so hard they miss their 15hks of the week and don’t even get to count on the honor standing despite 800k honor
