Hey, time after time i ask myself the question: what is humanlike? Humans are very very different. To give an example: My wife is a massive farmer and can farm for hours and hours. e.g. Timbermaw classic, lock boxes for the insane, Dire Maul 2! times farmed till exalted,massive strat for orbs, massive amount of E'kos for classic raiding buffs, wintersabers mount, shadow protections potions (ghost mushrooms in scarlet monastery - graveyard), ... She also farmed hours and hours ores and herbs That sounds not very humanlike and there are only 2 opportunities: 1. My wife is a bot 2. Humans are different Many bans occured due to massive farming - so WTF Blizzard? Greetings PS If this isnt the right place for this thread, please move him and sorry then
srsly, do yourself a favor and buy your wife a bot, so she can do sth more important then manual farming in wow...
Thats the reason why i cant understand blizzard this agressive accountbans for gatherer. One of my real friends are a hardcore farmer too, farms 12 hours without breaks and was banned too. He was a co leader of a guild. But i can understand, why blizz loose more and more gamers from wow.
Like making you a sammich. But seriously, I've thought the same thing. Blizz has the option "move with mouse" as an in game feature. This is like, the main way the bot program moves the character in game (to my understanding). So any human who would ever use that, which I imagine plenty do for it to be a feature.. would technically even be jumpy and not move smoothly like people who move with the keyboard/mouse are. I also know people who can do mundane tasks in game for hours on end with zero issue. I think the main thing Blizz looks for is other players reporting you do to AFK tags while farming, or ignored messages.
If you ever noticed how the bot moves while flying, it actually clicks on areas of open space, which is impossible to do with your mouse (unless you are clicking on the ground). Things like this (and I'm sure there are others like this) are probably very easy for them to detect.
really you should take a look at this is about a competition that they do to make "human like" bots for unreal tournament 2004 the best bot last year only got a 52% human like rating. Custom UT2004 bots are more human than real-life players - TechSpot News
Most people appear to get banned for abusing the economy by moving ridiculous amounts of gold. From what I can tell Blizzard waits until they have multiple reasons to believe you are botting in order to move this crazy amount of gold and are correct almost always. I've never heard of somebody being perm banned for legit farming that they didn't sell for IRL cash or use to break some other TOS. They don't catch a lot of bots let alone legit people.
