This is not correct. Multibox fishing is a thing. Of course you need need to click the bobbers separately, but that is in no way impossible. It’s not even all that hard…
Here is Ridosaw setting up a 10-man fishing setup, skip to 28:30 to just see the demonstration: https://youtu.be/N0SRK3l4tRk
Of course, people hide in remote spots when they want to fish for hours watching moves and series, we don’t want to be disturbed by anyone. When I am watching Netflix while fixing I avoid the usual spots with many people fishing because there are so many fishing hooks in the same spot. It requires less attention to the game when your hook is the only hook in the screen.
Tell me, why the hell should they do not ignore your emotes? Why should they stop watching their series/movies to answer your emotes? The last thing I want to do when I am fishing and watching Netflix is to pause it because there is someone like you disturbing me.
The same character? Whose name? I hardly doubt is the same character. I bet you have seen many different characters fishing and you have mixed them in your mind. Believe it or not, there are many players who watch Netflix while fishing, fishing requires very long grinds of many hours and does not require much attention to the game, for many people like me those hours are more enjoyable combined with series and movies.
By the way, have you asked yourself why the hell would anyone level a fishing bot to 110? It does not make any sense. If they were fishing bots farming for DM transmogs they would be level 60 DKs or level 100 DHs, not level 110 characters. DM transmogs farming was done back them with trial characters repeating the one time only fishing quest that requires 100 fishes.
We are not defending bots. We are defending fishers falsely accused of being bots for someome who do not understand how do people to spend hours fishing.
That state is enought to not believe anything that he said. How do he know they have been 24/7? He has been 24/7 too then maybe by his own login he is a bot too, if he has not been there 24/7 probably he is just overexagerating.
No, probably what he saw is different people fishing for hours, probably some of them in many different fishing sessions. There is nothing except his own ignorance about fishing that suggest he has seen any bot. It is so easy to mistake a legit fisher for a bot.
All we can do is report and hope for the swift ban OP.
Anything bot suspicious, spare no reports. The more the merrier. Legit people have nothing to worry about.
One thing we can rest assured, there is only 2 types of botters; those who get banned, and those who dont stick around long enough.
Fight the good fight!
Each to its own. Farmers, gold sellers, bots, whatever have been in the game forever and have never interfered with my enjoyment. It sucks that they do lower the the AH prices, true, but whatever, they don’t raid or M+
typical user that endorses botting
I only have one monitor, so I have to read the stupid adventure guide while I’m fishing, And I’m sick of it!
typical user that endorse lying and false accusations calling bots everything he does not understand.
Just because you think they are bots does not means it is true.
Just because you said they are fishing 24/7 does not means it is true, unless you actually were there 24/7 but then using your own logic we can say you are a bot too.
I repeat, Who is that same character that you have seen 21/7 in the same spot? You are always talking about that hippotetical same character, but you are not able to identify it. Maybe that means you have seen many different players fishing and you have all mixed in your mind. Your fisher bot is just an imaginary amalgama of all the many players who fish in your server.
And second you have not answer why would any bot use level 110 characters to farm DM transmog while fishing? It is not even the optimal way to farm DM, It does not make sense.
Aside from the fact that ‘naming & shaming’ is a one-way ticket to a Forum Vacation, what realistically are you expecting to happen…?
Well, he can give details about that player if he actually exits without naming. Gender, race, class, realm, details about how his gear looks. Some details that proves that he has not mixed multiple players in his mind. But i hardly doubt he can remember any details, because it does not exits. I bet he has seen multiple DKs or DHs fishing and he had create an imaginary amalgama of all those characters
The behaviors that he describes are exactly the behavior of a player fishing for hours watching TV. As a player who likes to do that, fish in WOW while watching Netflixwith no botting involving, only two monitores one with WOW and the other with Netflix, clicking the hook whenever it sounds and in between watching a TV series., I find quite unpleasant those false accusations.
i miss ignore function, why dont you take a round on DMF yourself and see 
and im not going to name and shame,
the point of this thread is that BLIZZARD is LAZY on taking action against bots, cheaters, exploiters and other rule breakers.
thanks and BYE
how can the fishing even be automated?
I did, today, went with 3 friends, saw 1-2 people fishing, that’s was it. I went back 2-3 hours later after some fishing of my own and doing 1-2 raids for Tmog, and weirdly, enough, 5-6 people were there, but none of them were the same 1-2 as before.
I even wrote the first lots names down to “check” if they were still there. Still nothing.
I hate the fact that people can call others bots without getting punished for it. I think that, if you report too many people as “bots” and they weren’t, you should get punished for using the report button wrong.
The point of this thread is CLEARLY “fishing bots in DMF”. Even says it in the title. Unless, you’ve just done a “clickbait” title, which, weirdly enough, is against the ToS of the forums… Sooo, might wanna rethink that 
Rofl, Do you know how sick in the head you sound?? 
So you stalk players and then continue to abuse then with reuse emotes just because you think thier bots ??
If blizz need to check anyone; it’s the stalker that’s going around spitting on everyone he thinks are bots 
I can’t see something that only exits in your imagination. I have been there, not this month but in the past months I was myself one of those fishing in DMF for hours, by your own false logic I should be a bot too, and there is nothing as 24/7 people like you said. You are describing real fishers, not botters. In any of my long fishing sessions, I fit perfectly with your description and I have never use any kind of bots, that is enough for me to not believe that anyone you describe is a bot.
The point of this thread is for you to make false accusations. Of course, Blizzard should not make any actions again anyone you describe, they are not bots, they are just WOW players fishing for hours, probably watching TV. That is the only point of this thread, making false accusations and harassment over people that you do not understand how they play. They are not bots, just because you repeat your lie it wont become true.
Bots should be punished, but you are not inocent neither, because your excuse of you thinking they are bots does not change that they are not, they are innocent players, and that means you are not fighting against real bots, you are harassing innocent players
Retributor, I have to say I agree with the other posters here. I do spend plenty of time fishing in dmf on lower lvl alts to up my fishing lvl and I do tend to find hidden spots to do so and I’ve never seen what you are describing.
However, I have seen you in a couple threads going on about bots and I have to wonder if maybe you are somewhat obsessed with bots in the game. I’ve never even seen bots herbing, I fully admit that could be because I pay little attention but still it makes you wonder why I’ve never noticed any if the problem is as rife as you make it out to be?
I did see my first multiboxer the other day though I think. That was cool. But not a bot.
The nerve of some people here discouraging the report of possible bots…
Lets be real, were talking of fishing bots. One of if not the most abused botting activity since inception.
And not like some other botting activities that are too obvious e.g. fly hacks, it’s not blatant if a angler is a bot or not, therefore the best course of action in case of doubt is to report.
You want to be fishing hours on end while ignoring all interaction from other players? Nothing wrong with that. But it is bot-like behavior.
I don’t understand why would a legit player be bothered by false reports…
We are discouraging making false accusations. In any decent system, false accusations are punished. Because if they are not they can use the excuse of “I thought he was a bot” to harass innocent people.
He could just limit to report the supposed bot, in privately. But any public acusation and harassement should be punished if his claims are false.
Lets be real, were not talking of fishing bots. We are talking about fishing players who the OP think are bots. Just because the OP think they are bots does not means is true.
No, is not, it is a fish-like behavior. There is no reason to think that behavior is from a bot. If you can not differentiate the behavior of someone normal and a bot you have no right to say “it is a bot”. Innocent until proven wrong.
That would be true if the OP just limits himself to report the fisher. But no, he must also harras him doing emotes and split and trying to get his attention. The last thing I want to see while fishing is someone doing that, I do not accept the excuse " I thought you were a bot"…well, he thought wrong, he should be punished for his actions against an innocent fisher.
Report system is indeed private.
Hacks team will judge that
Hacks team will judge that
Oh nooo… someone’s interacting with me in this mmorpg…
The OP should limit himself to do private reports and not making public accusations in a public forum. This post is not private, that means he has made public accusations. Remember that making false accusations of breaking the rules it is againts the rules too.
And then Hacks team should judge the OP and punish him, false acusations should not be allowed. Your excuse is too lame. It is obvious for anyone who has expend many hours fishing that there is nothing bot behavior here. With your logic anyone could do what they want and then just make the excuse “i thought the other player was a bot”
No, someone is harassing me when I just want to be alone fishing, I don’t want to be disturbed when I am fishing calmly by someone accusing me to be a bot. Why should he have the right interacting with me when I don’t want? I can interact with many other people in this MMORPG, that does not mean I should accept any interaction of anyone, especially if that one is just someone calling me bot.
I start to feel I’m being trolled but I’ll bite.
Speaking out against bots isn’t against any rule that I know of, please link if otherwise. If you about to link naming & shaming, save yourself the trouble, that didn’t happen here.
To be clear I dont think false reports help in any way, in fact they clog the system. Yet, in case of doubt it is better to have a report that turns out false than to not report.
What?? lets make a analogy to real.
You in a public setting and someone starts talking to you but you dont wanna hear what they say. You think you have the right to cover his mouth? Suppressing his right to speak? Well no, the right you have is to cover your ears.
You, as a claimed legit angler, could show a bit more appreciation that people are willing to report on what only devalues your activity.
