Hello there,
First things first i really like SoD idea and i enjoy game every single minute which i can spare in this virtual world as many of us do.
We know bots are big problem from Classic even Retail. And we know Blizzard won’t take any action against them because they pay 13€/month and there is many of them.
But this completly ruins point of this game. When you earn mats, items by your hard effort… they just farm it 24/7 for free without action taken (reported many of them but they still are in duskwood or murlocs in Wetlands) and i see almost same names for weeks. Guildless hunters etc…
We know blizzard or GMs don’t care because we have no real GMs. Propably they could hire remote workers from low salary countries and they will do their job.
What can we do as players against them?
Force raid groups and make free farm of these bots, just kill them over and over again farm that nasty honor points and report them all time.
And what about gold sellers? Ye theyre against ToS but if these golds are farmed by real person it will be less evil than botted gold which is propably most annoying thing to entire economy… not now but over time you just swipe your card on bot shop and buy gold or just grind 24 hours for 100 gold (could be less later on)
Boosters… Boosting for gold is okay but when you get boosted are you really good player? Or you just sucks and cant do it? Isnt classic about achieve some things by yourself? I remember from retail… we got 3k rio boomkin and he dont even know what is solar beam… he sucks at dps and dies every single harder mechanic. After checking Rio he was boosted by same group over and over again. Same in pvp.
How is possible? Blizzard know about these websites like Overgear, G2G, AOEAH and still they dont care for years… even they acting against ToS.
Also how is possible there is AIMSHARP which have adds on google etc… how is possible to skip Blizzards eyes? They are just blind? Or just only care about subs not about real players how were in previous days when GMs and Blizzard were owned by ppl who actualy love games, play them and share everything with comunity.
But one positive is big shoutout to SoD development team. They doing nice job with everything, i hope they will keep it on.
Have a nice day
And what are your thoughts?

I think that Blizzard enjoys having bots around as it skews the number of players that plays WoW. Eg if there are 1m bots then it can be claimed there are an extra 1m players and thus they won’t ban to many or they will slide down the charts of the most played games. It may also be true that other games are more popular than WoW when only calculating real people? For this reason I think they only put in a token effort to ban bots and do so in waves so each of the bots subscriptions is able to make its money back and at least some profit. Thus it makes it financially viable to keep creating accounts in a sort of symbiotic basis for both parties. But whilst there are losers out there buying money, we’ll have bots providing for them. Whilst GDKPs are not against the ToS, they do very much highlight the players that do break the rules.

The only reason that bots exists is the WOW TOKEN
And before you start saying "there is no wow token in SOD, think first
Non of these bot accounts pay 12/month
Each one of them has a character in retail/wotlk to farm gold for wow tokens.
There is nothing we, normal players can do about that. Even if they ban these bots (actually they don’t, i will explain why) they don’t even care, they play for free
Why Bliz ignoring bots and how they benefit from them?
Simple is that, bots keeps the wow tokens prices high enough (because they are wow tokens consumers) and makes it an attractive option for gold per 20€ for normal players.
If there is noone buying these wow tokens there price will go down and it will not worth the 20€
The only thing we can do about that is “stop buying wow tokens for real money” then bots have to pay to play and if there bank gets ban is not worth it
Tbh at this point I think blizzard co-operating with gold seller company.
Most of the show running legal company with employees, pay taxes ect.
Seen kinda documentary about it.
Its billions of profit.
Kinda same as most private servers does, are involved in gold sellers.

Exactly, i m pretty sure that this wow token was gold sellers idea
They said “ignore us and we will consume wow tokens to keeps the price high enough to be attractive for legit gold buying”
Also i think we will never see wow token in era/sod as part of there dial
bots, gold sellers and gdkps are extremely good for the future token introduction
easy, 9 months top
from current state to wotlk like state full of bots, LFD with instance teleportation, tokens
Bots are here to stay, they haven’t resolved the issue for 20 years, it’s not something they can fix.
At the very best I’d hope they will keep bot population within “acceptable” levels.
Bots will always be there as long as people are buying gold…
Get rid of the people get rid of the bots lol.
No really make Gold a perma bannable offense. F them for being lazy.
