Druid boting problem

how about just making better anti bot software? if the creators of other multimillion dollar franchises like league, counterstrike, fortnite, CoD, battlefield etc can code a functioning anti-bot software then so can Blizzard

Well, you’re not taking your own advice for one and not reading my posts so onto ignore you go I guess. Try reading my posts next time, though hard to expect much of people that play druid.

This is a good suggestion - if we can’t just ban multiboxing outright, this solution works.

Ah. Insult time. Sorry that people disagree with you, I guess, I hope you’ll overcome that eventually.

So this is the problem. Not druids.

You do realize how many people get caught cheating in those games and why it’s not terribly beneficial to ‘bot’ those games because they’re shooters and MOBA and not a long-lived RPG with progression right?

Nah, druids still have an advantage over every other class which should be addressed as well. :slight_smile: Either that or make everyone able to farm herbs while mounted and no longer become dazed.

Oh no, a slight advantage should be fixed.

Lets all have auto attack and no mounts and no abilities. There. Problem fixed.

Stop being a crybaby because other classes have tools you do not.

So? What does that have to do with my point? Instead of trying to do some complicated workaround just make a better anti-bot software

It’s not like Blizzard is out here starving for talent when you have people willing to work for IRL honor points to step foot in their offices.

NIce, ad hominems and personal attacks because you have no argument.

You’re crying because a class has abilities that you do not. Stop crying.

You have no argument, druids have literally a slight advantage, and that should be removed, why?

May as well not be able to AoE in the world, because other classes use AoE better.

While we’re at it, remove pets because I don’t have them.

Remove ranged abilities because other people are tapping mobs before me at range.

They continually lay off QA and CS, so that’s not going to happen either. ‘Just make it better’ Clearly with the tech and how complex bots are in 2020.

No. Ban bots.

I think the issue is a little separate from the bots. “Regular” players shouldn’t be impacted negatively in an attempt to hamper bots, but Travel Form is simply too strong.

It’s an instant cast, 2 person mount which is usable in combat that can also gather herbs, fly in zones where flying is eligible, automatically turns into water mobility when submerged without any extra input (and back again of course), can be augmented to add extra mobility/avoid fall damage through Wild Charge and is usable in the Maw.

When was the last time you saw a Druid on a mount? It’s simply because they just don’t need it - Travel Form does everything a mount does, but better, and while doing more. It simply needs nerfing regardless of the bot problem.

I would just like to point-out that in the interaction between the two of us, you were the first to resolve to personal insults.

I’m just gonna throw it out there.

That’s not a plus if you get in combat. You will get slowed down to 40% when you shift back from being in aquatic form.

Ah yes so just start carving off the block, okay once you’ve removed druids ability to do stuff in form what next? Because the bot creators will adapt no?

They’ll start making Rogues, because rogues can stealth past mobs, do we remove stealth from the game now? Or how about when they move to hunters, because hunters can use their pets to draw aggro when gathering, do you remove pets from the game?

See where your ‘‘solution’’ ends up? You’re not adressing the problem, you’re adressing the symptom, the PROBLEM is that people bot AT ALL, them using druids is just a symptom of game mechanics, if you just change the rules they will follow that change.

Then they dismount, and are already slowed… Unstealth to pick herb, draw aggro, have to waste 2 min CD to run from mob or kill it then mount and repeat.

Hunter pet can draw aggro but you’re still in combat and have to dismount to do that as well, still not on a mount so…
