Today, i want to discuss something that has been in the game since the day the game was created; Botters.
-
Wow has all kinds of botters, Gathering botters. Mining/Herblorism, Leveling botters and the gold botters.
In the end it is all for real $ anyway..
-
But what i am wondering is what is blizzard going to do about them, it is obviously against the rules and it would be not fair to the 'farmers' who are not using bots, like me.
-
Like this morning, i am flying around in Uldum for my daily JC rounds, gather some Elementium/Pyrite nodes to prospect, but all i find is level 80-85 botters botting the nodes.
You can /W them, they won't answer, you can follow them , they will just not notice you are there, they don't even target you, and when you kill one of the other faction it is just respawning over and over again ( Which is free 10x honor for me, but it is just not worth it)
-
Now the only thing you can do is report them, so i did..
Dear blizzard, i opened a ticker with the title: Botters in Uldum, i even named a few characters, the avarage waiting time was 8 hours so i decided to go offline.
The next day, and now it gets really funny, i get this responce:

Obviously, this has 10000000% nothing to do with the ticket created by me,
And lulwut, a trojan/virus? My computer is OK.
I also never gotten a password reset or another e-mail...
Explain me blizzard, is this what you do for your paying members, sending people automtic created answers on their tickets, i bet not even a single employe have been looking into the ticket
Im looking forward to answers from the blue ones.
Other than that, discuss about how to deal with futured bots.
Will we just need to report over and over and desperatly wait till bliz ban them. Or is there an more effecitve way, anyone has any mining related solutions about what to do with botters?
