dont worry thats normal in classic.
How do you know they are boosted it’s taken weeks to see them couldn’t they have just botted 1-58 then enter outland to bot. 4 accounts will make alot more gold than 1 boosted without the added risk of ban without pay
Wow classic had tons of bots were in classic for buyers to fund gdkp now tons of bots in tbc for flying mounts mats for professions and upcoming gdkp runs

because when you stand outside of slave pens you can see a train of level 70 mages (no longer 69) exit and re-enter Slave Pens in Communal boost gear. They have names like Qwkfjcq and all behave like the other bots. I’m pretty sure that if they weren’t boosted they’d be wearing different gear.

I’ve yet to see that not saying your wrong but without proof I just cannot believe that boosts are viable for gold farmers they stand alot to lose,little to gain and the money is always better spent elsewhere ie more accounts as it’s a multiplied gain
Fair enough. You can make a character in the server i mentioned and check in the who list. If that does not convince you you can whisper me and i’l share my screen with you so you can see for yourself. That way you are happy and i don’t get in trouble in this forum leaking character names
- Check for how much gold sells
- Figure out how long it takes for a blizzard ban wave to happen (minimal 2-3 months and they always ban in ban waves)
- Check how long it takes for gold farmers/sellers to get to lvl70 (with slave pens farm not longer than 30 hours played at max)
Once you have all of the above calculate how much they can farm in 2-3 months and how much it is worth compared to the lvl58 boost (freaking a lot). Getting from lvl1 to 58 is super time consuming, it saves them days and days of not farming gold which in the ends means that lvl58 boost is not only worth it, but it is preferred method to get new characters up and running.
Level boost is literally a God send for botters/gold sellers and due that even better cash cow for Blizzard as they are in the win win situation… Every few months they can do a ban wave and say to community “Hey, look, we care, we are banning bots!” while farmers/gold sellers will just buy new accounts/boosts and repeat the process again.

- theyre are 24/7 online haha
Blizzard bans in waves, with the current gold price by the time they get banned they can buy 20 more boosts.
I don’t want to defend botters but this is original classic feeling right there
when i do /who maraudon there is 50+ players maybe 2 out of the 50 list i see are not mages.
/who mage 58 50+
/who warrior 58 2
/who druid 58 4
its just pure coincidence i think a lot of people leveling mages.

Your right they ban in waves that’s why the upfront cost is not worth the risk imagine them just forking out 10 account boosts then they get instantly banned before making any real return.
Sometimes they also find a way to detect bots and ban them all at once I remember that back in real tbc when everyone was using glider that banwave hit 400-600k accounts at once if I remember
Bunch of druid leveling botters around, seen em farming shimmerscale eels in northeast shattrath lake, zangarmarsh spore bats or hellfire peninsula voidwalkers.
I’ve reported each and every one, but only if I happen to get multiple other people to report with me do these botters actually get the banhammer (only gotten one ticket for action taken, meanwhile this one botter is already lv 67). They just freeroam around, farming motes and herbs and blizzard anti-cheat literally does nothing lmao.
All I can say is report botters as you see them, the more people the better and they do actually get the banhammer if they get enough reports.
The mage bots in Slave Pens have been banned.

These are in my server also. Probably future gathering druid bots because of the flying mount.
There is no war in ba sing se

Don’t worry blizzard will do a ban wave probably every 3 months, giving the botters enough time to make the boost worth the money. they can get that sweet sweet boost money from the botters again and again.

I miss good old Blizzard from vanilla. Now everything is about profit and not the players.
To be fair, no one in this thread knows whether the amount of bots increased or decreased with the boost.
Classic still had a sh*t ton of bots without the boost.
True, and Gnomes falling out of the sky to spell out ads on the ground… hilarious really.

They should’ve made boosts only available to existing accounts as of TBCC launch and at least one lvl 60 char. Now we’re screwed for life. Bots swarm the game, soooo many gold sellers (gladly the buyers are banned + have their gold/ epic flying removed). It’s a bad situation and blizzard doesn’t seem to care.
