So there's been someone botting Storm peaks for 96 out of the past 110 hours. Still not banned, reported twice. Impossible to get any farming done there. Seriously blizzard is there nothing you can do about it...

There is, Bankitup, but these matters can take a bit of time to get resolved. If you have already reported the character then a report would have been forwarded for further investigation. If the character is still around after an extended period of time, a couple of weeks, feel free to report them again.

We understand that this is an inconvenience, and that everyone would like to have these matters addressed much quicker. Unfortunately we are simply unable to go by purely visual queues, we must verify what is happening with our tools so we can not only use that information to hunt down other botters that may not have been reported but also so we can validate our findings when the registered user of the account disputes the actions that were taken. This can happen days, weeks or months later and in order to effectively uphold such actions there needs to be more than "well we saw him, he looked like a bot".

Q u o t e:
So what would you propose? Nuking them from orbit?


It's the only way to be sure.
