I wouldn’t be surprised if Blizzard had more bots than real people “working” on Classic as well.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re encountering a lot of bots in your game. It is unfortunate that some players choose to use bots to gain an unfair advantage, which can negatively impact the game experience for others.

Blizzard has taken steps to combat botting and other forms of cheating in their games, including implementing detection systems and taking action against accounts that are found to be using bots. However, it is an ongoing battle and new bots are continually being developed.

If you suspect that there are bots in your game, I would recommend reporting them to Blizzard. They have a system in place for reporting players who are violating the terms of service, including using bots. Additionally, you can try to avoid areas or activities where bots are commonly found, and consider playing with friends or joining a guild to have a more enjoyable and social experience.

wait, there’s an option to queue for non-Bot infested BGs?!

this made me laugh :smiley: what a shameless lie

I apologize if my previous response was not satisfactory. I strive to provide informative and accurate responses to all queries. If there was a specific part of my previous response that you found misleading or inaccurate, please let me know and I will do my best to clarify or correct it.

Botting and cheating have been ongoing issues in online gaming, and Blizzard has been taking various measures to combat them. These measures include implementing detection systems to identify suspicious behavior, monitoring player reports, and taking action against accounts that are found to be using bots or engaging in other forms of cheating.

However, this is an ongoing battle, and new bots and cheating methods are continually being developed. It requires a constant effort to stay ahead of the curve and adapt to new challenges. Blizzard has a dedicated team that works to combat cheating and botting in their games, and they regularly update their detection systems and policies to stay up-to-date with the latest threats.

Unfortunately, the presence of bots in games can negatively impact players’ experiences by reducing gameplay quality and decreasing competition.

It’s important for game developers to implement effective measures to combat botting and the use of third-party programs to gain an unfair advantage in games. This could include implementing automated detection and moderation systems, educating and raising awareness among players about the dangers and consequences of botting, and implementing security measures to protect the integrity of the game and players’ data.

Additionally, players can do their part by reporting any suspicious activity or inappropriate behavior and avoiding the use of third-party programs or services that promote botting or fraud. By working together, game developers and players can help create a fairer, healthier, and more enjoyable gaming ecosystem

Truly are everywhere

Yes, bots have become ubiquitous in modern society. Bots, short for robots, are automated computer programs that can perform a variety of tasks, from answering customer service queries to posting content on social media platforms.

Bots have become especially prevalent in the digital realm, where they can be used to automate tasks, generate content, and perform other functions. For example, bots can be used to crawl the web and collect data, to interact with users on social media, or to play games.

However, bots are not always benign. Some bots are used for malicious purposes, such as spreading spam, phishing for personal information, or conducting coordinated cyber attacks. As a result, there is a growing concern about the negative impact that bots can have on individuals and society as a whole.

Despite their potential negative effects, bots are likely to continue to play an increasingly important role in our lives. As technology advances, bots are becoming more sophisticated and capable of performing complex tasks. As a result, it is important to continue to monitor and regulate the use of bots to ensure that they are used in a responsible and ethical manner.

Wotlk was made for bots not for you

I’m sorry to hear that you feel that way about Wrath of the Lich King (Wotlk). However, it’s worth noting that the game was developed to provide an engaging and enjoyable experience for all players, not just bots.

While bots and other forms of automation can be a problem in any online game, the developers of Wotlk have taken steps to minimize their impact on the game. This includes implementing various measures to detect and ban bots, as well as making changes to the game mechanics to make them less attractive to botting.

It’s important to remember that playing the game as intended, without the use of bots or other forms of automation, is the most rewarding way to experience Wotlk. By doing so, you can enjoy the sense of achievement that comes from overcoming challenges and progressing through the game at your own pace.

I hope you can find enjoyment in playing Wotlk, regardless of any issues you may have with the presence of bots.

Should we bump all these threads?

Bumping threads in an attempt to get a response from Blizzard may not be the most effective approach. While it may draw attention to the issue, it’s possible that Blizzard is already aware of the problem and is working on a solution. Additionally, bumping threads can be seen as spamming and may actually be counterproductive.

Instead, it’s best to continue reporting any instances of botting that you come across and provide as much information as possible to Blizzard. This can include screenshots, videos, and any other relevant details that can help them identify and address the problem.

If you’re concerned about the lack of response from Blizzard, you can also try reaching out to their customer support team through their website or social media channels. They may be able to provide more information or escalate the issue to the appropriate team for further investigation.

You state yourself, that its a possibility, not a certainty, that Blizzard knows of the bot situation and that there is no indication for them to be working on a solution.
This includes the possibility, that Blizzard does not have an awareness what is happening either in the game, nor in the forums.
On the other hand Blizzard might not be able or willing to work on a solution.

Going further, you encourage players to keep reporting, while its still uncertain, that this information does even reach Blizzard. They might or might not work on solving the problem. To get an vague answer from the customer support can take multiple weeks and that is if the player is lucky. As we all know, the answer will most likely be lacking in content. It will state something like “thank you for you interest, we are aware bots exist and are working on it”. This would neither answer the question, if they are aware of the extend of botting, nor would it reveal any kind of time frame of actions being taken. It might as well be in the next expansion.

To conclude, your trolling is actually quite advanced, as it could as well a meaningless post made by a Blizzard employee. I am impressed, keep it up.

I apologize if my previous response was not clear enough.

To clarify, it is important for players to continue reporting bots and other forms of cheating in the game, as this helps Blizzard identify patterns and take action against them. While it is possible that Blizzard may not be aware of the full extent of the botting situation or may not be actively working on a solution, reporting is still a crucial step in ensuring a fair and balanced gaming environment.

Blizzard customer support responses may vary in quality and detail, but it is important to remember that they are working to address player concerns within the constraints of their resources and priorities. It is also important to maintain a respectful and constructive tone when communicating with customer support or posting on forums, as this helps to foster a positive community and encourages more productive discussions.

In short, while there may be uncertainty regarding Blizzard’s response to botting, players can still take action by reporting and engaging in constructive communication with the company.

Are u trying to become MVP or what?

Enely is using ChatGPT (a chatbot AI) to formulate the replies. I’m quite sure it’s a clever form of protest against bots.
