Punishing honest players

As part of our ongoing efforts to eliminate exploitative and automated gameplay, with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region, we’re implementing the following change to our settings on all WoW Classic realms:

• You may now enter a maximum of 30 unique instances (dungeon and raid) per day, per realm.

In Blizz vocabulary, “exploitative and automated” means cheating. Automated is easy enough to understand as cheating but if you have any doubt about the other term, the follow up blue post shows what they mean by “exploitative”:

ACTIONS TAKEN TO ADDRESS EXPLOITATIVE GAMEPLAY

@Kaivax

We’ve recently completed a round of actions against players who were found to be cheating in World of Warcraft.

[snip]

Including today’s actions, over the last month in the Americas, Oceania, and Europe regions, we’ve closed or suspended over 74,000 WoW accounts that were found to be in violation of our End-User License Agreement .

So, either due to lack of competence in combating the cheating problem or simply not willing to put in enough effort to constantly monitoring and banning cheaters, a decision was made to punish honest players.

Let’s be clear: doing 31 Jump Runs in a day is not against the EULA yet it is no longer possible. Why?

Will they have the courage and good sense to recognise a bad decision and reverse it?

Why not post this in the relevant thread rather than create another thread?

This is a thread called “Punishing honest players” and this is the correct thread for this.

doing two molten cores in a week is not agains the eula either. blizzard can change gameplay however they want and they’ve made it perfectly clear they don’t care about the game

[Synrelia-kazzak]

they care about classic as much as pvp on retail. or atleast its close to that.

It’s nothing to do with bots in my opinion this change is against mages and these type of players who boost players for gold and farm ZG Blizzard want to add token to classic after realizing it’s doing well in China.

On the contrary - you could have replied to the existing topic with the same post and it would have been A perfectly relevant post in the topic.

Or we could just have everyone open a topic stating their point and have hundreds of threads that people can’t keep track of.

There’s a reason forums don’t like topic spam.

Your “opinion” is just a bad conclusion. They clearly stated exploits and automation is their reason and they further confirmed that “exploitative” means cheating.

There is nothing cheating about selling boost runs like there is nothing cheating in selling a stack of bandages.
