GMs have no power

A battleground bot can't be banned by a GM.

Has blizz become too big... bureaucracy getting in the way of GMs actually acting like ones. In a smaller MMO it would be simple. GM observes player casting spell every 20 seconds. They have done zero damage, zero healing for last 45 battlegrounds. Ban player.

Instead, you wake up 12 hours later to see the same bot still running.

Hitu,

If you have a question we can help you with, please feel free to ask.

If you have a Suggestion on how to better deal with this, you'll want the Suggestion Forum.

Simple AFKers can usually be best dealt with the report feature in the BG. It does take more than one report to flag someone and boot them out. That feature was put in quite a long time ago and overall has been quite successful with the 'cave sitters'.

I quite appreciate your concern on this, but there are tools and avenues available to both deal and report this type of thing. This forum isn't one of those and we don't call folks out here.

Thanks!
