trollbane- wg icecrown/sholizar is being over run with the same botting program unmounted under the map mining and moves 3x faster then my 310 then just vanishes n re appear there horde and alliance all on the identical same path blinking in n out at the same points 5+ that ive seen just sitting here for ten minutes as im typing this one of them (see my ingmae ticket for names) just popped on tracking n took this titanium from under the map n was gone

i know you might not be able to do anything about the program but at least take the characters out of there possession lol just saw each of them(horde+ali+ train by on my mini map in the exact same line again same turns same blinking in n out

there doing this constantly all day i can only imagine how much ore that adds up to...
and how much ore that noone else will stand a chance at getting cuz nothing can move or mine that fast

if u stand at 60.6 52.6 in wg and just wait a few ull see them and notice ther unmistakable patthing

i know trollbane problem isnt the only one but you gota point it out sometime or they dont get caught

Q u o t e:
I appreciate blizzard as a company, the great products they have given us, and for the most part, their customer service but when it comes to handling the gold sellers and botters is where I have the issue. They have been apparently studying these bots to break them but when are they going to or be able to break them? This same exact problem of underneath the world mine botting has been a problem since december after wotlk was released. By the end of the expansion and almost 2 years later, nothing has been done to correct the issue? If anything, it has gotten worse. Breaking the bot and banning in waves can be great if done in a faster period of time but by this point, they have literally gone rampant and run most gathering markets on most servers.

You are presuming nothing is done, that is NOT the case.

There just is no fanfare about it. You have no idea how many of these are dealt with daily, weekly, monthly. Trust me if nothing WAS done, you WOULD see a vast difference.

The two biggest tools to combat this are

They have multi-BILLION dollar a year enterprises going with the sole goal of separating you from your real world cash. They don't care what they do to the game, players, the players they compromise or anything but their own bottom line. They lie, cheat, steal, scam, swindle and are not at all above going after their very own 'customers' in the process.

So moral of the story is protect yourself (and get an authenticator), and don't just accept people that you are aware of dealing with these miscreants into your social circles. These are not victimless crimes and it truly is everyone's business.
