How many Players are botting in WoW?

You can see the Question in the title. It would be very interesting I think.

 

a shitload

or

more then you think

play a new game, spot the bot... and find out yourself

no one can pin a number on it so poll is kinda useless.

 

Just what Blizz needs, more ammo with the lawsuit coming up.

 

Boss land is not a public company which has a shares to sell on a stock market. With that said bossland does not have to have his business transparent to the public.

Tldr; he does not have to disclose to us how many subs he has

 

of cause but that thread is just to guess a number of %

Edit: So many 4-6%? thats surprising.

 

im sure it's more then 4-6% of the playerbase. i'd guess more like 10-15%

 

i dont think so. there are a lot of casuals and a lot of people that are scared of a bann.
maybe 4-6% of the playerbase are botters but not to make gold i think. i play on a high popular server and there are about 10 bots in each cataclysm zone to farm herbs and orbs, thats not much.

 

haha i laughed when i saw 4-6%, its so much more than that

 

More people are botting now than ever because WoW is just a very old game.
You get bored doing the same old grind over and over.

 

i think 15%

 

Yea alot more you should jump in a BG and see how is botting I have spotted about 6 in 1 game so yea. That says alot

 

25%+

 

agree

 

i'd say 20% of wow players bot , using honorbuddy and about another 15% using other bots . ive seen bg games at night where there are 1 or 2 players and rest bots

 

more then you can count an 1 hand :3

 

not all botters gather overnight. not all botters are gold farmers. there are casual botters also, not just casual players. honestly, 10% is an understatement. personally, i've known many more botters in every mmo i've played vs. legitimate players. unless you are botting to farm gold, there is virtually no way you will be caught or banned for it. there are probably thousands of people who have purchased hb and havent made a single post here. consider that there are something like 37m characters in wow and august 2012 reports 9.1m active subs. you're telling me that there is a maximum of 546k (6%) people out of 9.1m (roughly 4 toons per account) who are using third party programs?

 

It's like asking a bunch of coke heads. what % of the population do they think take coke regularly.

The number will be inflated, vastly inflated.

 

awww...now I don?t feel special anymore
I just thought there are not many bots because I dont see many bots that are farming gold. The most people in WoW are poor I would say.

 

Well the thing is if your botting you see a lot more botters because your probably running the same path as them, kicks profiles or a BG etc..

It's probably quite low but it just seems like a lot because of where you are

 

This question is put out wrong.

It should go like this instead.

Why are botters so greedy that everyone notices them on the AH.

By the looks of it they would sell their mother to get just their stuff sold.
