Highly controversial i know, but its the truth, and here is why.
RMT exists to fill a gap of something that is lacking. In this case time consuming leveling and obtaining gold. Providing leveling while your offline, and getting gold the easy way are the easiest ways for botters to provide with that, their bots kill things on a constant predictable way so they can extrapolate the xp per hour and thus provide a price for their leveling service. They also have an average gold per hour and thus can set a price for gold as well.
Since they have no competition except other gold sellers and botters its quite easy to monopolize this. A price minimum for boosting or gold is easiy to setup and in every botters intrest.
So in order to reduce RMT activities and botters in general there is a need for competition. Driving prices down on the RMT activities till they canât make a profit. The only way to do this is provide a long term legal way to obtain boosts and gold. A.K.A Boosts and Wow Token.
Do you want your game to be RMT and botters free? Then accept Wow token and character boosts.
Do you want to end up with servers where 70% of the playerbase or more is a bot, then be against it.
âeveryone buys gold and boosting services anyway, so itâs Ok to pay real money to skip contentâ
Iâve read to date.
In that case âeveryoneâ uses underground hack mods in arena, so itâs OK for me to win trade.
All youâve done is compose an elaborate self justification for wanting to jump the queue, based on the notion that 'lots of people use dodgy exploits to jump the queue, so why not use a legal exploit?â.
Actually depending on how the bot levels this makes it harder to detect if its a bot.
If they farm for 1 or 2 levels in one area, and then continue to do this till 58 this is difficult to detect, at least more difficult then the bot farming the same area over and over again at max level.
Most bots arenât detected while leveling.
This is not true, a bots effectiveness will be greatly reduced when it has to farm wow token (as well as its boost token) before it starts earning a profit. Time that can be used to locate and ban the bots.
Wow token and Boost are things that increase the time before the bot starts making a profit. Further more since wow token price is determined by players, they will drive the prices down of gold sellers since they need to give significant discounts to players so that they will continue to use the far more risky way of getting the gold.
Lower prices, longer time to make profit allows a longer time for the automated detection system that blizzard uses (lets not kid ourselves thinking they actually spend more manhours on this) to detect if someone is botting before they make a profit (they basicly have to make at least double the startup cost to break even)
The ideal solution would ofcourse be that Blizzard takes a way more active approach to counter botting, but being against a system that reduces botting in the first place is also not helping
Not going to lie, Iâve never seen a bot I reported get banned in a 3 week time window. During that time they have earned needed tokens and plenty more.
Two wrongs do not make a right OP. I donât much mind a single 58 boost per account, but adding unlimited boosts and tokens is NOT a way to combat bots and rmt. Perma-banning bots, gold sellers AND GOLD BUYERS is the way to combat it.
worst bait ever. look at retail and how many people are unhappy with it. why are people advocating for this weird amalgamation of classic and retail??? they are so fundamentally different, its worrying how you are so keen on getting retail features into it. mark my words, in 6 months everyone will complain about tbc being full of bots, due to your boost. watch madseasons video related to the boost, as it actually encourages bots to buy it and get insane amounts of gold way faster than they could without boost or tokens
