June Banwave

[admin]

Blizz has banned lots of accounts before for botting, here is a post taken from the WoW forums regarding the latest banwave.



1.) I'm a bot developer.
2.) I'm an American.
3.) I work for companies that cheat at WoW for a living.

Purpose of this post? Several reasons.

1.) High five to Blizzard. I botted and cheated at this game for well over a year without a single ban. June ban wave knocked out 8 of my personal accounts (including my epiced out 70 main), and over 200 company accounts. Never thought I'd see the day that Blizzard would completely devastate the botting community, not only dealing a nearly lethal blow to the most popular, but as well as decimating the less popular alternative program.

2.) Let players know that Blizzard -is- dealing with bots. They may not deal with bots in the way you expect. Reporting bots may at times seem fruitless, but trust me, they are doing their jobs. I've seen complaints on these forums many times, and can think to myself "If only people knew". Blizzard can not delve into what they're doing, and you don't see much proof of their accomplishments, but they're there.

3.) Let players know that Blizzard is keeping up with this. I stopped cheating on personal accounts after the last ban wave, so the second ban wave they did a couple days ago didn't hurt me personally (unless you count the wallet). Yes, they've just done two ban waves in the span of 3 weeks. While everyone was trying to recuperate losses, they go and knock the crap out of them once more.

4.) Let players know that the asshat spammers have nothing to do with me. They trip whisper detection and auto-replys so often, it pisses me off too!

5.) Let you know that not all of us want to ruin the game to fill our wallets. I am in this profession because I love Blizzard games, and I'm good at what I do (and who can argue with playing games for a living...). Given an oppurtunity to work for Blizzard instead, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately they don't pay relocation costs and have no HQ close to where I live, nor do I think I'm qualified...being only 21 and having little schooling.

Basically, Blizzard is doing a killer job. Love this game, love the company, and a huge fan.

Blizzard's Public Relations isn't so hot because they have to keep many things secret, so if this post can help improve yalls image, I'm willing to endure the flames.

Oh, and I absolutely love the plausible deniability you gave botters a few days ago with the server news. "Players may experience disconnections or be unable to connect.".

Was a good laugh when we realized that everyone getting DCed and Banned could use that as a cover story.

Thanks Blizzard for everything you do, you're one of the few companies I actually believe does what they do for the customers. No matter how much some of the outspoken ones whine and complain.

Well, I am happy to see Blizzard being active in the battle against bots, even though I find goldsellers to be the real problem. Bots are not in the same way ruining the game for other players. With goldsellers we get spammed, and the economy is effected as well. Hence botting is better than goldfarming in my opinion, so I would like to see Blizzard being more active against goldfarmers rather than botters

quite interesting. Its good to know that blizzard is on top of things, even if it sucks for  all the busy people who want to gain a few quick levels. haha.

The new spamming activity that is going on is you will be invited to a random group.  I use to accept these because I figured it was some other person in the same area wanting to quest together.  Once you accept the group they spam the party chat with something about 'go buy wow-toolbox'.  I started to not accept the group invite and then they just whisper it to you instead.  So now I have to stop what I am doing look at who is inviting me, if they are lvl 1 or have a weird name I put them on my ignore list.  It is just annoying.  Especially becase they are advertising a botting program.

Okay. So I did a lot of research (and I mean alot) and I found out that 1. it is illlegal to use adware, trojan, malware to acess your personal files. They actually will go through and search your history rams programs running processes. this is illegal to do without notifying the owner every time and 2. you can use programs to block this. 3. clear private data and offline history before you go on WoW

[powerlevelreviewer]

I wish I could bot.

Grinding sucks and it makes me not want to play most of the MMOs out there.

I am a PvPer. I am on a PvP server yet I am forced to do PvE horse crap quests and junk to pay to repair my gear. It shouldn't be a factor on a PvP server. Make PvE servers do all the ghey questing and let PvP servers just PvP.

We need more games here, because this software kicks ass.  Im planning on running a long game every two weeks.  If somebody has an idea that they wanna do, tell me, and you can have a slot.  My games will not be excessively complicated, nor will they be heavily themed.  I just cant do it right now.  Nor can I play.  But, I can do this.

So, while theres still people around playing a game, Im putting up a signup.  Next game starts June 16, will have some additional powers, but not too crazy.

Sign up now.

Heres another question for the MD.  Are we going to have to reload our carbine during any of the stages or just realize that almost everyone will be shooting with a 30 round mag or more and not have to reload?
