When i was playing on Private servers before Wow Classic came out we didnt had a single bot on those Private servers.
I think Blizzard should talk with the people that managed Private servers.
The moment a bot Noclipped through a wall or floor the anti cheat system on those Private servers would Kick that bot from the game instantly.
This is a paid service we all pay monthly for and you are a Billion dollar company, and you cant even invent an anti cheat system for World of Warcraft like the people did on private servers…its ridiculous.
Same thing with tickets…it takes atleast 25 days before a ticket gets answered, what happened to the Game Masters.
What on earth happened to Blizzard and the state of classic wow right now.
When does Blizzard do anything about this problem?
Thousands and thousands of people pay for that service.
Its a fact Gold sellers run this game right now! and blizzard put zero resources into fixing it.
I hope atleast “one” person at Blizard reads this, and cares about this situation.
Not true, because Blizzard sells tokens on dragonflight and trading gold from there to classic is not against the rules. Blizzard sells gold, sells boosts, sells cosmetics and still there are so many bots. Its just that the bots are slightly cheaper and the risk of buying from a botter is nearly non existent thanks to Blizzard.
It might not be against the rules but if you get scammed you only have yourself to blame if you do that. Its a gray market at best.
Difference here is that the admins on pservers can and have been known to spawn in fresh gold to sell, blizzard dont, they take a bit of money to transfer gold from one player that have it to one person who wants it.
And there were also bots on pservers they were just not as noticeable seeing as 1 not as many people wanted gold (private servers might have big pops but nothing like classic) 2 they had to compete against people who literally could just spawn in how ever much they wanted without having to actually make it.
Still, Blizzard is effectively selling the gold for money.
While its true for some private servers, classic bots “spawn” more fresh gold into the game, than any halfway competent admin would ever do.
It does not matter how much gold a private server admin would be willing to sale, its all about the price its sold compared to the effort it takes to generate it with bots, plus the risk for the buyer.
As far as I see it, obvious botters get banned on private servers. They get banned too in classic, but while it takes hours or days on private servers once a bot is spotted by a player, here its like weeks or months before the bot actually gets banned. Thats the main reason why botting is much less profitable on private servers.
Additionally if players get caught buying gold from a botter on private servers, its usually a perma ban. On retail some gold gets removed and 1-2 weeks ban max.
Here in classic the risk of generating gold with bots and buying botted gold is much much smaller compared to private servers. Its even easier and saver to buy bot gold in classic than buying gold from Blizzard dragon flight and trade it to classic.
