Where do I report bot programs?

I'm not sure how to report this, but I think a GM should go to the Kurzen Compound in STV right now to check this out.

I found a paladin being followed by 4 warlocks (each with his own water elemental). Aside from being an odd group, what's really suspicious is how these warlocks follow the paladin...

Whenever the paladin stops, all the warlocks stop at the same spot. Which is not odd if everyone is using /follow.... until I saw them attack the Kurzen mobs and all these warlocks are still all in the same spot. They do this on all mobs. I was following them since I can't believe what I'm seeing... until they went inside the cave, which I can't handle... so I went here instead.

I'm not sure but it sure shouts like a bot program / power-leveling thingy to me.

It's very possible that the characters you witnessed playing in unison were the result of a practice termed "multiboxing." Multiboxing is presently permitted within the World of Warcraft and you can learn a bit more about it here:



If you would still like to bring the players in question to the attention of our Game Master, though, you're certainly welcome to do so via in-game petition or email to [email protected]. Just to be sure to include the characters' names, realm, and location within. :)
