From the beginning of WOTLK untill Cata. I think i reported around 30 or so bots that i saw farming.
However now i join a game of AB and see 6 people mounted up at LM sat ontop of each other who instantly dismount and run at people who get to a certain level on the hill at the side and then run back to the same spot and mount up again.
And no one seems to bother. People post /bg 'urgh bots' but nothing happens.. There should be a 'report bot' button and if they are botting then instantly get banned not this whole report to a GM and then nothing happens.
If you open a ticket to a GM and are reporting a bot they should teleport to you (fair enough if they are busy answering other tickets) see if it's a bot and then just ban them.
GMs are constantly answering tickets. Unfortunately, dropping everything to immediately teleport into a battleground to check if someone might be using a bot may delay a GM from helping someone who may have been waiting longer and perhaps can't access the game.
It's always worth reporting players who you suspect may be away from their PC in a BG. There's even a handy built-in tool for it. |
