Bot ban waves happen every x months…but last week i was reporting many bots over 100 reports on 5 chars. this week i got mail, 10 GM blue mail that said due to my reports a bot was banned!
so reporting works, it s just that not many do it!
if anyone is interested we can make a community in game to do a weekly ‘‘cleanup’’ fly over in zaralek, drustvar, ohnara, azure span and report bots together to make more bans and clean wow from illegal bots who destroy the value of our honest gathered gold
after a few people supporting this i made a community . link does never expire.
You can make an in-game community so people can apply and join. You just need to leave some info here and other places where you think people might be interested
I got suspended in the past for a couple of hours (twice) because of people behaving in the way that you are suggesting. I won’t even use add-ons of any kind. The way I look at it, the company suppling the game should supply everything you need to play it (regarding the game’s software).
So I’m just wondering how many innocent players you and your group of vigilantes will get banded or suspended.
You see when groups of players send organised reports against other players it adds weight to their argument if the company isn’t aware of the link between those reporting players.
Currently, bots are almost exclusively in very low level gear [ilvl 200+] farming in greens at level 70 (leveled up from 60 to 70 via gathering). You’d be hard pressed thinking an ilvl 400+ fella is a mass made farming bot.
Wrong, I’ve never used any add-on or bot programs in any MMO and I started playing MMOs in 2004.
In ESO I still have the exclamation mark next to the add-ons tab as I never had to sign the agreement for using add-ons, for the simple reason I don’t use them.
I don’t like botters, but then I’m not keen on vigilantes either.
I can’t think of anything good to say about botters just as I can’t think of anything good to say about RMTers.
Like a lot of people I don’t like those that cheat in any game. My posts are not designed to defend those that cheat and I would never do so.
I’ve seen a good number of them in their usual spots on my RP character. The people who use the botting software don’t go “oh yeah we better no make our bots farm on RP realms, none of those players buy our gold!”
Considering RP server players spend a lot of gold on transmogs, I’d beg to differ
