I'm tired of seeing these people not play legit.


Alliance:

[Removed]

You three have been at the kodo bone ruins in front of Gadgetzan for days now, and me and my friends have been ganking you. You spawn at a constant schedule, and we watch your moves. They are the exact same layout between three people.



Horde:

Added:

[Removed]

All were PMed and trade-windowed, no response and just kept fighting. Again, Tanaris kodo bones....

Bone - ??

The list will be added onto when I find more. If anyone else has people, post them here. I want to get these people off WoW, so learn to play legit like the rest of us do.


Please post anyone else you find and help me add onto this list!

Rather than publicly announcing that such reports have been filed, please continue to report any new characters you've come across via the in-game petition system, Dareynadra. Due to privacy concerns, we'd prefer such accusations were not made on the forums prior to any substantial investigation. All reports of botters are forwarded from our Game Master staff to our Hacks team for further scrutiny. It is for this reason that you may see a delay in action taken after having filed a report. With this being said, we appreciate your assistance in helping us to determine which accounts are being used for malicious purposes! ; D

Q u o t e:
I report them all the time to the GMs, and the bots are still there. This is BS. You do nothing, just admit it.

As much as I enjoy being forthcoming whenever possible, I cannot make the admission you seek, as you are simply not correct.


Q u o t e:
These people have gibberish names. They are all hunters. They are guildless. They all have boar pets named "Boar". They are clearly bots if you watch their actions. There are no privacy concerns here.

You may feel this way after having seen these players in-game regularly and feel as though they are certainly guilty of such violations; however, it is not okay to simply publicly accuse players of violations for which they have not yet been found guilty. This opens up a floodgate of issues. We do not want players making it a habit of slandering the names of players with whom they do not associate well in-game. For this reason, we have a blanket privacy policy. There is no point making the names of botters public when it fails to aid in the actual investigation of the report to us.


Q u o t e:
I do think you are noting names, and will be banning them all at once in a wave, as you have in the past. But this does not help our servers now.

It is true that we are not always able to grant instant gratification by banning a bot here and there when reported. It is, however, much more beneficial for us to utilize an active game plan in order to more effectively cripple the bot community by collecting information from them. Your reports help us do this.

If you truly feel reports do nothing to combat the situation, you're welcome to refrain from reporting. Either way, attempting to corner me into admitting fallacies will fail to address this situation by any means.

Q u o t e:


Duh! lrn2patriotact!

Any time we talk about wire tapping... a wire tap requires a court order.

What?

It's right outside your door. Now testify...

Q u o t e:
So, please don't insult my intelligence. Your GMs are ignoring any reports of bots. The reason? Simple. You already know all the patterns of the current bot, <Edited the name out for good measure.>, and will be hitting them in the next ban wave, which you seem to go every 3 to 6 months. Further proof of this in the fact there is no "Bot / RMT" option in the GM Contact interface.


Serge, I believe we're splitting hairs here unnecessarily. There's no need to utilize such antagonism in your posts; I was not attempting to insult your intelligence. Your explanation of the way in which our Hacks team works is largely correct. With this being said, testing and analysis of botting as reported to us via the in-game petition system are still conducted regularly as a way of reinforcing any of our other methods for combating the issue. Additionally, a good deal of bot reports we receive actually fall more legitimately in the "farmer" category, which is why we still accept and review the reports we receive.

While you are not wrong in noting that the most effective actions taken toward the botting community do not come as a result of frequent reports to Game Masters, you are incorrect in stating that it is useless to report suspected bots for any reason.

Q u o t e:
Someone said they would give me free pie and chips if I came here and posted in this thread.

These articles meant for consumption were intercepted. They were exquisite. : )
