same pattern with their rez sickness and all
Von ennena, 07:26I've seen countless bots in this game over the years. Back in BC on Thunderhorn there was a bot that used to farm motes of fire on the exact same pattern for hours on end. At first we reported the Bot and nothing was done, not sure why and world of Warcraft po really don't care. Eventually, the hunters in our guild would make a game of pulling as many mobs as they could near the bot and feign death to see how many would shift agro to the bot. That poor bot went from killing one mob at a time on his path to getting killed for a couple hours. Cause as is with most bots they return to the same pattern with their rez sickness and all.
Bots and gold sellers will always be a facet of this game. And for those that don't believe it ask a GM and see what they face. So what if Blizz bans their account. The gold seller doesn't care. It costs them one gold sell to replace the banned account. Try investigating it and you will find a cleverly crafted web of IP addresses leading to no where in particular. Try prosecuting off existing account information and you will find a fake name and address along with an email that apparently belongs to a fake person. See the most successful gold sellers use hackers and programmers that are near or better in some cases than Blizzard security programmers. They make big money off this game and pay their people a sizeable wage to get the job accomplished. And as for the FBI's task force on internet crime, I believe they are years behind the game developers and hackers. Who the heck would want to work for a federal government salary when there is far more money in game development and hacking?
