Ugh - Instancebuddy brought up on WoW General Forums

Holy cow.. This actually means me and my mates will be blasting through the levels with instance grinding and RaF. And also able to boost, fucking awsm.

 

wow.

i have no words. seriously. amazing.

 

I wish the BG bot was just as smooth as IB and had a smarter "AI"

 

idk, like all bots the general public has no clue, as long as it stays that way. it will be fine, obviously, they think oh its an auto fallow afk kind of bot. when its obviously not. and who knows there's more then just instancebuddy that's able to bot instances.

 

Oh em gee!

<3 too (non gay)

 

thank you so much. i understand your reservations about implementing this but for the botter/multiboxer in me this is nirvana. i would not dare use in a mixed party - because i'm selfish and 'tank time' is too valuable in most realms i'm on.

 

Wow awesome news cant wait to Ib my way from 80-85!

 

that's such good news.

 

The replying is already here

 

Wow is going to turn into D2, everyone loved my enigma pally doing baal runs, great find OP

 

If you work it out I hope Bobby can borrow your code and add it to squire.

 

Yeah, that would be great, or atleast make Squire mimic the way navigating, sticking with grps.

 

Erm, something tells me you shouldn't take those suggestions to serious though

 

We can always dream about it being implented, hehe

 

after seeing the way squire moves based on player density, it shouldn't be too hard to imagine raphus's new features would be too hard to implement.

 

The blood is rushing to my loins as I type this, thanks raphus. I guess soon we will be able to tank to our hearts content.

G

 

Many bots do use the "/follow" feature, so they're not entirely wrong

 

Maybe, but I was referring to IB. When i'm watching it I can see the pattern that it navigates through. It clicks on the ground. Would you call that a /follow feature?

 

good read xD made me lol at some of the comments

 

This is a thread we can all ignore because..

The botting community is only going to get stronger as our bots get more complex and smarter than blizzard. Blizzard most likely knew about things of the "instance botting" because if they were going to ban people left and right because of botting (they won't for economics) they would have already banned everyone! This is also less detectable if your smart with configuration.

I can see it now! The bot will be able to walk into a dungeon.. say a randomized phrase or Hi message, effectively follow the tank and kill with very customized instance scripting and custom classes. Some would need much more work for example "OCC" will probably be at the end of the list.

In the small chances that blizzard wasn't very aware of instance botting it is a sad day to see people posting like this on the forums. While they most likely know, it could be a wakeup call to change some things.

We should not need to worry because we are growing stronger with each update (usually) and this will probably be a safer method.

NOTE: One thing I really hate is when groups call out they are doing achievements. In the Culling of Strathlome they were doing that zombie one. Lord I was killing each thing the tank picked up and they ended up kicking me for stupidity.
