Current Cataclysm has been broken.
I have been playing WoW since BC/WOTLK and cataclysm during its release. Recently returned to the game and found it a blessing.
Accordingly after a few weeks with the specific starting point the Burning Crusade expansion i oftenly found myself ganked. I had made some alts to try to do some PVP which remained unavailable during this period of time. So i checked the server population on ‘Ironforge’ and i had found that the Horde Population had dropped since 2022 from around 11.000 to about 521 while the Alliance population had still remained.
Upon entering WOTLK i got grieved auspisciously by a named troll. I have a warrior. Found them ‘still’ repeating the same act of griefs against the warrior i once remembered; they are BOTS. Item grieving of the worst kinds.
Once i entered Cataclysm Content the farming ‘bots’ became a bit more aggressive up untill this point i have not engaged in any activity as a “DPS” but during the Blackroot Forge i found a lot of them disconnected after moving to the first boss.
Last night when i was playing with a Troll Hunter i found they manouvered’ they team and they share heirlooms with each other and they even vote-kick you out of their groups.
So i stopped attacking them and their response was a ‘predictable’ dysfunction of the ‘encounter’ type which has ‘gotten them stuck’ when encounters occur from blind corners.
For example i found a ‘Blood Elf’ lvl 31 Hunter on my lvl 26 Goblin mage and he seemingly got stuck in a tree. I was doing mining in the Deepholm region and i found them ‘zig-zagging’ towards me and stealing my ore nodes in my back.
