One of the More Amazing Bot-Cleansing Videos

[Starym 3,800]

 

Bots have been around for a long time and will be here after we're all dead and gone. Ok that turned dark really fast, but my point is bots = many. Today we're taking a look at one truly funny video of a player dealing with this ever present infestation, perhaps not in the most original or incredible way, but the video and execution of it was just top level, so I thought it was worth a look.

First things first, a little backstory as a few days ago a post trended on the WoW Classic reddit, as a player spotted a stuck level 58 boosted bot near the Maraudon entrance:

Apparently this gave (the honestly completely appropriately named) Sick_Nerd_Baller an idea, and it was executed brilliantly, so I won't spoil it (there's also a BIT of a message at the end). Make sure to enable the sound and play the video from the start (as it unfortunately autoplays).

Dude Botting was bannable since the beginning and bots are banned the only problem is botter make so much gold that they can easily make another account.

so fighting against bots is like don quichote

Got to love these multi-dollar companies.

The goal is to find that perfect amount of time spent so as not to deter the players that use the bots from buying another account, while also banning them just often enough to keep legit players happy.

Funny thing is, my husband just got 6 month suspension for botting. He never used a bot in his entire WoW career, and he's been playing since the game went online all those years ago. They have no problem banning legitimate players, but actual bots get away scot free.
