Time to keep my mouth shut too. I usually talk a lot of crap in LFR etc or in trade and what not. But I guess now I have to keep the easy clicking eyes off me. Le sigh. Lol Overall though safe botting will keep you safe regardless. I know of people who report botters and they will put a ticket in or click your name if they feel like it regardless of the system used. Nothing REALLY changed.
I think it takes no long time and there are the first "Report a Bot" Addons :-/ with lists who have i reported and much more "features" -.-
first thing i implement, auto report people that arnt botting.. just to fuck with there system. i suggest people abuse it so they think twice
trust me, if they wanted to kill botting they would have updated WARDEN. now please shut up about this.
This is just going to get used and abused by idiots reporting people they dont like 99% of the time... I wouldnt worry about it too much.
Im not concerned at all about this, if you just bot safely things like these wont be a problem as mentioned earlier.
yes botting was never safe but with this your chance increased getting banned, indeed there will be morons who report everything what is moving even critter, but dont say Hb dont need small mesh update and some stuck improvence, or bg bot when 10 chars are on top each other
Yes and making it faster means that people are going to use it. For example in a BG if a normal player wants to report a bot currently they have to write out a report and most people in BGs cba to do that But just right clicking there name and reporting as a cheater this is probably going to make people use it because like you said its faster. Like some people have said "just bot safe" thats easier said than done. Because I can tell and non botters can tell anyone who is BG Botting its very simple to see who is doing this. As we know using a bot is not safe but with this new feature wow is going to add its going to make it extremely not safe to do BG's with the bot. With the new dungeon buddy coming out this also might be a problem if this reporting system actually works but to be honest it is going to get abused to much.
oh damn!, bad for bussiness!!! cant players understand that WE create the economy, if not for us they would buy nothing from AH
agreed. the whole thing kinda reminds me of this song. everyone hide your kids, hide your wife (blizzard) is looking for you... [video=youtube;nCXlL2MgIxA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCXlL2MgIxA&feature=related[/video] but thats enough fun from me. really there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
<3333 biggest over reaction this is like saying OH NOES I BLEW UP MY LIGHT, SRSLY RING UP THE POWER COMPANY, CANCEL THE WHOLE WORLD!. there is always a risk in botting guys. its a part of what we do, theres always risks. there will never be a bot that is 100% flawless. or 100% human like. we just have to deal with what we have, and what we have is pritty dam amazing.
Killing botting isn't the point. The point is player reports are likely the #1 cause of suspensions/bans and the system to report has now been streamlined into a few clicks of a button. You've got no right to tell people who are concerned to shut up or stop worrying.
Of course I do, and its my godforsaken right to do so! Lol, maybe this will stop people from botting recklessly and learn to be smarter about it.
Copy/Paste from IRC when this conversation continued on for hours. This is just my opinion, but I felt it was fitting for this thread: <ex0a> but if blizzard really wanted to rid the game of bots, it would be much easier than that implimentation <ex0a> bots keep the economy where people can afford to buy shit <ex0a> you think regular players will go out and farm enough materials to support their economy? <ex0a> not to mention the fact that the people who want to buy the mats then have to pay rediculous prices <ex0a> cause there isn't enough supply for the demand without bots <ex0a> blizz would rather ban the bots a few at a time to make the regular players just happy enough to stay <ex0a> because then the botters will just buy another copy of the game and all the expansions and start over <ex0a> it's a win win for them <ex0a> they'd be fucking stupid to try to ban all the bots <ex0a> and they'd lose tons of subscriptions <ex0a> not to mention lots of the players who help out their local economy do so because of the gold they've acquired because of botting <ex0a> what happens when tons of top raid teams lose multiple players because that's how they afforded the 30k peices of gear? <ex0a> this whole thing is just a way to make regular players happy and still let people bot to support the economy <ex0a> which is why i'm not concerned with the changes
