Leach botting, ok or not?

#0 - Sept. 7, 2006, 5:21 a.m.

Seems the trend these days is to run an automated bot, that auto joins AB and sits in the starting gate the whole match leaching honor/rep untill the match ends, where apon the script rejoins the next available game to do the same thing over and over again.

This hurts the teams it joins as its down 1 member. Lately there are two and sometimes even 3 bots in Battlegroup 5.

My last MMO, Asherons Call, took a firm stance against unattended macroing and bans were swift, I was just wondering what blue thinks about this current trend invading WoW.

Thanks for your time,
Teth

Hello Tethana,

I have recently posted about this exact topic in the "sticky" thread atop this page at:

This should answer your question.

Q u o t e:

Kaone, could you please remove the link earlier in this thread to the AFK botting program? I know this information is readily available on google, but it shouldn't be linked to from the customer service forum.

Edit: It's post #9 of this thread.

This has been addressed. Thank you.
