Blizzard's Views on Botting

Ever since wrath it seems that Blizzard's stance on botting is getting more and more lenient. Every night that I attempt to mine sholazar I am greeted with an army of at least 10 people flying around with resurrection sickness getting stuck on trees and every night I report them. Every report produces the same copy and pasted response that says they will look into it but they never do.

Take for instance <removed> on sargeras. They are in sholazar 24 hours a day 7 days a week, I personally have reported them over a 100 times across 3 weeks attempting to find a GM that would bother to actually look into it. Unfortunately, neither my reports nor anyone else can actually find a GM that cares.

Does Blizzard intend to actually try to stop this or should we all purchase farming bots of our own because it's obvious Blizzard doesn't care.

Amazing that if these two are on 24/7 - neither happen to be present at the moment, Gilk.

I just checked out Sargeras both Sholazar Basin and Wintergrasp, I didn't see a single one out of over 40 players present between the two zones.

I know it can be annoying but these are addressed regularly. Trust me, my personal playstyle is often that of resource gatherer - I do know what it's like if one of these are in the area.

They may not be addressed on the spot - but they are addressed, often.

Botting is not healthy for an account if you wish to continue playing :)
