BoE Farming in BFA ?

[WoW06]

Hello,

In Legion we had Suramar to farm BoE, what about Legion ?
Do you have a place to farm BoE with instant spawn ?

Thanks

[WOWBOX40]

Thats classified information: "cosmic top secret" ;)

[Jofogutt]

Ive been using these spots with 5 warlocks and 5 druids

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmyAE1bkRa4

Works like a charm, u get mounts, bunch of cloth and greens. with the chance of getting BOE epics. (after 19hours of farming i've only gotten 7 boe's, so not sure if there's better spots)

[WoW06]

Thanks Jofogutt !

[Nezreck]

the BoE market is amazing, i've got 36 in the last 2 days, i'm trying to keep my spot secret tho :P all these youtubers keep making videos and causing a flood of thousands of group farmers lol, can't really find a clean phase of Any of the other spots atm

How do you farm this on 10 chars? Isn't tag cap at like 2 groups of 4?

No its tag capped at 5, so 2 teams different spots

[thedreameater]

What are people doing with all the greens?

[Nezreck]

i'm super lazy and just hired a bunch of guild mates to do the scrapping for me so i get the trade goods and they get expulsom :P

[WOWBOX40]

I dont have the will to go over the bags, so i added two macros way back, which i included into the "farm buttons". Just add a key re-map step on your key in isboxer. One deletes all greys, one deletes all greens. So all i get is basically mats, blues and epics.

Got tired of having to mount up and empty bags every so often.. im a old man haha

[Kojiiko]

so u selling greens to a vendor? So much wasted on the started on the expansion.

I’ve been coding Greens to someone is willing to pay 300g per green. When the price comes down on them greens I’ll Just send them to my alts to disenchant. But that be for a rain day been hard trying to level up to 120 to do some boe farming.

I see they forgot to put lockboxes to drop!!!!


i'm super lazy and just hired a bunch of guild mates to do the scrapping for me so i get the trade goods and they get expulsom :P

love that idea. :)

[WOWBOX40]

When your running tons of characters, its a major headache to go thru bags because their are either full or near full. Thats a full time job in itself. I got other more interesting things to do, like watch movies etc while i casually press a few buttons.

The only thing thats vital..is to quickly check bags in case any got any mounts...and send those to the banker, because those items are unique, so you cant get two at the same time.. working on a tellmewhen addon full screen warning atm...so the entire screen will turn green and sound an alarm, at the toon that looted a mount.

[Toned]

Spawn rate seems nerfed?

[Kojiiko]

i'm super lazy and just hired a bunch of guild mates to do the scrapping for me so i get the trade goods and they get expulsom :P


Well u suggested that and everyone said just send to me coz I can de and then sell erm!! sigh, No-one was willin to help ;(

[valkry]

Scrap all the greens and sell the crafting mats, you can get addons that do half the work for you. Everything else can be deposited in gbank with addon or auto sold if junk with addon.

Was not botting, was actively running around and chatting at the time in game chat etc. no contact from the gm during his check etc.

[WOWBOX40]

If you did nothing wrong, it was probably just a random GM that took a look at you, then did some minor adjustments to your character(s) to see how you reacted. Then, he most likely just banned you, just in case, as you looked like maybe a bot.

Just write a veeeeery solid complaint and insist that it gets escalated to the anti-cheat departement.

Also, the GMs never contacts you in person/ingame while you are "farming". If they did, it will tell you that they are or have been "watching" you.
They also do "ban waves" every so often, usually couple times a year, so if you happen to do something ... / cough .. for 3 months ago, it just might be that you got the hammer now instead of back then.

If you used "monk statue" strats etc, that might actually be a exploit, then you have poor odds.. you really should send in a ticket and ask if its a legit strat to use, before you start really using it. Whenever you find such a farmspot.

And be carefull indeed, im pretty sure blizzard can run special botting detection software that records and detects any patterns in your keypresses and a lot lot more, if they want to investigate you spesifically. Like if you used a keyboard etc that allowes you to spam a button when its pressed = big no no.

Sucks big time either way, that you got banned. Best of luck to you.

[WoW06]

Hello Nezreck,

All your accounts have been banned ? What was your farming spot ?
I noticed that Blizzard banned a lot of multiboxers these days

[Andreauk]

Were you doing this in a quest area? I was having hell getting my quest done last night on a solo toon, there were so many farmers everywhere.. perhaps it's counted as griefing?

[WOWBOX40]

If you are camping and have 100% tag on an entire spawn area, where others cant get tag on the spesific mobs they need for their quest, at all, then thats asking for trouble.

Try lower down the amount of keyspamming / aoe / statue, so others can get a tag in inbetween, if this is the case.

[Opticore]

@Nezreck
This makes me worried. Before I did not care about other players whispering they reported me. I would just ignore them or paste this link https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/11704 were Blizzard cleary states that my accounts will NOT be actioned for multiboxing and that it is NOT a violation of Blizzards Terms of Use.

[Nezreck]

Yea all 8 of my accounts we're banned, i was farming on an island NW stormsong valley where the venture mining co is and there are for sure lots of mobs in the area surrounding the spot i was farming, Never had a single person complain next to me that i obstructed anything etc, but i did have quite a few people who did not understand what i was doing message me to let me know that they are the ones reporting me for "botting". I also run a 4x4 stack so any single player out there that Needs to tag my mobs can because it will not tag lock them until that 9th char taps it.

The only potential GM check that i noticed was that my main toon seemingly lagged backwards about 30 yards and i was facing the way my other toons we're so i was never out of follow range and pretty much ran right back into fighting, I assumed it was a potential GM check so i had typed in chat for sillys "das no bueno" and then about 20 seconds later my accounts started dropping out 1 by 1, Attempted to speak in say chat a few lines before the final ban hit but didn't see any response.

my team comp was 8 balance druids and the farm was not even stand still, i have to actively rock back and forth at the spot to tag specific mobs out of range, so that alone could have been observed for a little bit to be seen random and not scripted or robotic etc

[WoW06]

Thanks for these informations, i hope you will appeal and get success !

[Nezreck]

Denied, doubt they made any effort to even read what i said to them :\ i even provided twitch VoDs of my play and nothing, pretty bummed out

Hi Nezreck sorry to hear about what happend, sadly I also got hit few days before BFA realese. I got banned on all of my accounts 5, the reason was Abuse of the Economy, I do not farm gold, all I was doing was dungeons, WQ's and pretty much this. However 2 weeks before the ban I've got mythic argus boost for in-game gold from guild on my server @Draenor that does those kind of boost 3 times a reset. I obtained gold through wow tokens.

I have made ticket explained about what happend, I even told them time and date and the person to who and what for I traded the gold, after first ticket I got response that I've been banned for using 3rd party program and I didnt use anything beside ISBoxer and ingame addons such as ElvUI and Jamba etc, nothing has changed since the past.

Then when I try to make a phone call them they didnt even pick up and just connected the case and told me that the appeal has already been look into and actions won't be overtaken.

I wanted to start over but since I belive May in EU the law has changed and blizzard cannot delete WoW accounts anymore only whole battle.net account.
So Im stuck with 5 banned licenses and no more space to 5 box, so I just decided to no longer multibox and play a single character.


Its really sad that more and more boxers are getting ban, and I belive that most of us are actually innocent but this is just how it is.

[Kicksome]

Careful farming boys,
... was actively running around and chatting at the time in game chat etc. no contact from the gm during his check etc.

@Nezreck really sorry to hear this, hopefully they clean that mistake up.
If you could answer these questions, it would be much appreciated:
How active were you on the AH? e.g. didn't sell stuff, bought tokens, sold tokens etc...
Did you have a lot of gold or stuff worth a lot of gold?
Approximately how old were your bnet account(s)? Where they new for this xpac, or had you played previous expansions with them? e.g. mine are about 8+ years old bnet's with wow accounts that were upgraded through the years.

One time (3+ years ago) I got a three day ban on a couple guys, because I went in a instance and left 2 of my guys outside. I had keymaps on, so they were outside attacking air and casting all sorts of random stuff. It was on a ledge, so they couldn't attack anything at all - nothing to pick up anything etc... It was enough to get them banned for 3 days.

[Nezreck]

i was active on the AH selling BoEs that drop in the world, i looted around 30 since expansion release day.

I bought about 12 tokens for some toon boosts, 8 tokens for subscriptions, 1 token for a buddy to gift a mount, and traded a guy from a twitch stream enough gold to buy BFA. I had also given gold to a few friends to buy stuff they wanted, "i've been doing that for years".

I had about 6million gold on my account at the time and about 2million gold worth of stuff to sell.

And my main account was made in 2004 back in vanilla and i started boxing early WoD with 3 accounts, then upped to 5 at the start of legion and then upped to 8 around 5 months into legion and have had the 8 since

[JohnGabriel]

May not be important that you are multiboxing, they seem to be cutting down on the farming. Their decision based not on if you're following the rules to the letter but on the economy.

[Kojiiko]

Thats fucking shit!! sorry to hear about this! I know the feeling about getting banned!!! I hope u can get ur accounts back keep trying and keep onto to them, Must be a noobie GM dont know the different between a botter and a boxer :(

[WOWBOX40]

Sad news indeed.

Ive never actally payed gametime with a token, only thru my creditcard. Maybe thats why they dont ban me lol. My main income has always been boe's etc ive farmed. I dont do any raiding etc, all i do is buy boosts and mounts with the gold. Only from top world guilds. Hundreds of millions of gold worth over the years. Got many battlenets i wish to get the same mounts etc on. Not one issue so far.

Disturbing this if they are banning people based on new "rules", regarding the economy, without first informing the public about the risk of getting a ban. Espesially if we have been doing the same for years without problems.

How i havent gotten any ban must be a miracle.

Though i dont give out large amounts of gold without getting something concrete in return shortly thereafter. And i always write a contract / the reason why we traded the gold in chat. Which the other person has to agree on.

Greetings,

This penalty has already been upheld. Any further requests on this topic will not be reviewed.

Blizzard Entertainment

They have succeed in ruining me :\ this ban is completely incorrect and they refuse to even let me make my case, Blizzard does not care it seems. Was good knowing you guys but i can't afford to get 1 new account let alone a handful, i wish the best to all, I'm broken

[WOWBOX40]

How many times have you contacted them?

The "This penalty has already been upheld. Any further requests on this topic will not be reviewed" is just the current default answer that follow the corresponance.

Did you spesifically ask for your case to be reviewed by the anti cheat departement? You need to explain your setup in detail to them. What happens when you are farming. Maybe that would help.

[Nezreck]

was my second ticket and i explained boxing, i explained follow and how teleporting my toon only 20-30 yards would be hard to notice, i asked to be escalated and provided video from my Twitch Vods showing the Exact spot i was at with the exact same toon comp doing the same thing as when i was banned. etc, i added everything i thought would be required but it seems they never even read the second ticket.

[WOWBOX40]

As ive said before and ive told blizzard spesifically, i only visually check my monitors around one time every 30 to 45 min. As im either laying in bed or sitting in the sofa either reading in university books or watching tv. And i dont reply to /whispers or communication from strangers. They said "ok :)" in reply to this. As long as i dont cheat, and it was strongly implied that they would be able to find out, if i did, they couldnt care less what im doing while just pressing my few "farm buttons" over and over. And ive done this around since oct 2017.

Admittedly this feels like a grey area, but ive never really noticed any very obvious botchecks. And never been contacted by a gm. People travelling past say they have rapported me or going to rapport me for botting almost on a daily basis.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

i explained follow and how teleporting my toon only 20-30 yards would be hard to noticeDunno about anyone else but if one of my guys teleports 20-30 yards away, my /follow-broken warnings start going off and I sure as hell notice it. Then again, I'm usually watching all my characters closely so YMMV. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Nezreck]

It was my main toon that was tested, Teleported Backwards facing my follow team, i had no warnings because the gap was never wide enough to break my follow. If it we're far enough to break my follow like it should have been then i would have not gotten the audible warnings because they are god awfully loud :\ and i have turned them off.

[WOWBOX40]

People can be deaf, drunk and whatnot, thats a terrible bot test, to just move a toon slightly. If they really wanted to test if you were botting and afk, they could f.ex kill one character and wait and see if you, the player, notice it "soon". If you are still not responding after "hours" and keypresses goes on like nothing happened = banhammer

[Andreauk]

Kayley managed to get the ban overturned.. so maybe keep trying?

[MadMilitia]

Sitting in popular BoE farming areas as a multiboxer is going to get you flagged repeatedly by angry players. The GM shows up, does a few things and observes what they believe (and probably rightfully so many times) a bot just repeatedly going to X, Y and Z farming mobs. I emphasize X, Y and Z as very important here. It's something of a hallmark bot behavior and its very easy to spot. Unfortunately when our slaves are running behind the master it kinda looks the same but isn't quite the same thing as 5-10 characters CTM clicking to the same locations over and over again.

The teleport test is pretty simple. A greater distance than follow and IWT should guarantee that a bot is operating under CTM automated click circumstances if they continue to B-line for the target. Unfortunately most of us have CTM on for interacting with stuff so that's another false flag.

I don't know if I've ever been teleport tested but sometimes characters just wind up not following or have the appearance of not following. But now that I think about it that was probably a GM randomly teleporting one of them so follow broke and they sat there unattended which verified multiboxer not botter. I'm talking rare circumstances not getting stuck on a random rock in the road.

tl;dr: Don't give them any reason to suspect you are botting. It's shitty but the more frequently you involve yourself with other players the more likely they are going to abuse the report feature. Because they envy you and they're assholes. It's really that simple.

[papapacioli]

Along the lines of teleporting. I've been doing the Freehold Porter/Great Sea Privateer farm (no mount but no competition on a large server). Occasionally there will be an elite mob that comes out of nowhere. One of his abilities is a disorient, he doesn't hit hard, but has a bit of HP. It is also not interruptable, so I have to collect my team back to the statue after he's dead. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the mob, but it is not the 'rares' on that little island, Barman or Accoutant. Could this be a way to 'check' for botting? To see how I react to the random NPC?

The teleport test as far as I've read is the GM teleporting one of your characters 41 or more yards away from the target. This breaks IWT and follow. The idea being you teleport someone and they bee line towards the target anyway without interruption.

[WOWBOX40]

Maybe they do other tests vs people that arent known to be a multiboxer. Who knows.

Mind you, ive farmed with 15+ characters for hours almost daily since oct 2017. In public. And ive yet to see any of my toons get moved around on any spot. The only thing ive noticed is that one of my characters could be dead or logged out, when i visit the monitors. As you may know i only visit my monitors around once every 45 min. As im sitting in the sofa or laying in bed and press the keyboard buttons casually. No issues so far.

So there seem to be some "grace" periode, which you have available, before they will believe you must be a bot. But then again, they do have the ability to also track the periode between each keypress and much more.

Ive never used melee characters.


This is my most used farm macro:


/cleartarget
/targetenemy [noharm]
/petattack (optional, class dependant)
/cast spell or castsequence



Hunter example single target:

/cleartarget
/targetenemy [noharm]
/petattack
/cast [@pet, nodead, exists] Misdirection
/castsequence barbed shot, kill command, cobra shot, cobra shot, cobra shot



Create a straight broadcast button: this is your favorite spam farm button.

F.ex button "1":

Create additional steps as needed as a re-map with "1".


First keypress = macro to delete all greys
2nd keypress: single target
3rd: single target
4th: single target
5th: single target
6th: single target
7th: single target
8th: single target
9th: single target
10: 3 (mend pet / small heal)
etc
etc
etc instant self heal
etc
20th: spacebar (prevent to go afk)
21 2 (loot-a-arang)
21 2 (loot-a-rang)
etc
etc
macro to delete all green items
etc
insert group heal
etc
etc
and so on.

Depending on the spot, you may have to adjust a little bit, f.ex if you need to heal a bit more often on one spot compared to another. And you could also re-map to a "aoe macro" in between here and there.


If the mobs die fast, but its handy to misdirect to the pets, cause the mobs hit hard, cd will reset and you can use it on every mob:
aoe example:

/cleartarget
/targetenemy [noharm]
/petattack
/cast [@pet, nodead, exists] Misdirection
/castsequence barbed shot, kill command, cobra shot, cobra shot, a murder of crows, multi-shot, cobra shot


If the mobs die very fast and your own health isnt any issues: (no need to misdirect)

/cleartarget
/targetenemy [noharm]
/petattack
/castsequence barbed shot, kill command, cobra shot, cobra shot, a murder of crows, multi-shot, cobra shot

(the entire area will be 100% filled with crows in the air, fun times).


Most of my farm buttons have around 200 steps to cover most situations.
"So, 200 keypresses, then it goes back to step 1 again".

[Perrigrin]

@wowbox40 : how do you loot when not watching screens?

[WOWBOX40]

I use the loot-a-rang toy every 1 to 1,5 min. Just get a stopclock and make sure you atleast have a step, so you loot around once per minute or so. That way you dont miss any loot. If need be, create a doublestep to loot twice.

Sore subject? Are you really insinuating that anyone who finds that sort of thing objectionable is being irrational?

[WOWBOX40]

/silent prayer to all the good 5man hyperspawn spots that got hit by massive nerfs the last 24 hours. As in: before almost instant respawn, now several minutes between each time.

[Brandish]

Well, I've spent the last few days updating addons and getting my WoW setup ready to reactivate.... but between the multiboxer ban threads and this news of nerfing farming spots... sort of make me wonder if reactivating will be a waste of time.

[WOWBOX40]

You wont get banned if you follow their rules and dont have any neferious programs/software running in the background. Its also wise to inform Blizzard that you are a multiboxer and a bit on what you are doing and which programs you use.

The 5man spots are getting nerfed much faster and much harder than i ever thought was possible. Good spots before, are now totally unusable, a dessert.

Though there are lots of spots everywhere in the public, if you have 10 characters available to kill the mobs that share a spawntimer.

I learned a bit from legion, in that i should always investigate a area that looks promessing, before i complete the quest in that area. Reason being that if its a phased area of the map, and i find a great respawn spot, i rarely if never will get any competition. Everytime i was on a quest, that phased me, i visitted the known spots from beta etc and took a look around, before completing it.

My current fave spots, i probably see a couple of players running by in the distance, but they very rarely came and talk to me. They dont really have any reason to be in the area where i am, as there isnt any mobs that will complete the quest they are on, where im at. I wont tell where these spots are, obviously. These spots have never dropped any mounts. They do drop boe's though, and the usual mats.


If i were you and a new player, i would rather get a 10man up and running and herb and mine, then/also learn how to use TSM.

[WOWBOX40]

I happened to get a new fiber internet connection lately and its yet to loose connection. Ive had the last days off work and ive been farming around 8 hours a day pretty intensely, while catching up on a tv marathon serie i just noticed.

During these 16 hours of stand still farm, the only abnormal event was around the 8 hour mark, where account nr 5 got disconnected... accidently just as i came back to the pc.

I smelled a botcheck hehe /tinfoil hat


https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=na_pwx3jUBs

[WOWBOX40]

Lmao. All accounts except nr 5 got disconnected. Blizzard doing their checks im sure. https://7chan.org/phi/src/148261917389.jpg

[WOWBOX40]

Seems they have new tactics. Now account 6 disconnected and around 10 secs later the "various clumps" of my characters got "fearedbombed" all over the place, resulting in only a few actually beeing able to attack anything. Was kinda hilarious.

Have you changed how you do anything? Just wondering if you think you are being flagged by the system or if you think they're all from being reported by players.

[WOWBOX40]

Your guess is as good as mine John.
I havent seen many other players around either.
No changes to how i farm. Same method for the last 6 months or so.

You do realise ive been actively doing stand still farming as my main income of gold etc for the last 12 months. I have never botted and i dont condone it. You have no idea how often i get tested ingame, to test if im botting. Its quite often. More often that you might think. If i were botting i would have banned a very long time ago. Ive yet to have a single strike on any of my accounts.

So now we arent allowed to discuss what can happen during a stand still boe farm?

Its a high risk activity, and you will get checked. If you were botting you would be banned pretty fast.

And as i mentioned awhile back, i have a website with every detail of my setup, macroes, pictures etc. Which blizzard have full access to. Im completly open with them on everything regarding my farming. I even have a thread for each of the farmspots i use. They get nerfed around every 2-4 months, but thats no problem. Another spot is just over the next hill, usually.

i feel like im talking to a wall here, but im going to give this another try. from one socially inept person to another, let me clue you in.

there's a "spirit" to the game, and you are going against it. if multiboxing as a hobby is to continue, people like you need to be banned.

its not "funny", "interesting" or in any way "entertaining" to hear about your game-play being actively interrupted by game-masters, it is TERRIFYING. and whats worse, you don't seem to understand it. they don't want you doing what you are doing, is it really that hard to understand?
if you continue, you are putting us all at risk.

bth, this last wave of multiboxers that do it just for farming are cancer, cant wait until blizzard to just ban boxing completely... or hopefully we get lucky and they just revert the multi loot change... one can only hope.

there's a "spirit" to the game, and you are going against it. if multiboxing as a hobby is to continue, people like you need to be banned.

its not "funny", "interesting" or in any way "entertaining" to hear about your game-play being actively interrupted by game-masters, it is TERRIFYING. and whats worse, you don't seem to understand it. they don't want you doing what you are doing, is it really that hard to understand?
if you continue, you are putting us all at risk.

bth, this last wave of multiboxers that do it just for farming are cancer, cant wait until blizzard to just ban boxing completely... or hopefully we get lucky and they just revert the multi loot change... one can only hope.

wtf are u talking about?!! Most ppl that mutlibox farm some kind of farm, if its the stand farm for cloth or the farm for picking herbs or getting the ore. Some how we need to pay for the accounts via gold, if it werent for the gold token we can get via the gold we make I surely wouldnt be boxing.

I suggest you check through WOWBOX40 history before you go defending their honor.

Edit
I don't farm.

Its more of a gold addiction for him. Hes got more gold than he knows what to do with even using it for island expedition carries. I am not sure if he's ever mentioned but I bet hes cashed enough tokens to have a couple years subs for his whole team.

I buy the majority of the expansions with battlenet balance. And when one characters subscripion lapses, i can reactivate it by paying with ingame gold at the character select screen. So i play "totally free". And will for many years to come.

I guess i could stop farming, but its a kinda relaxing side activity while im reading books after work. Doing some studying at the university, so i can apply for a more cushy and better paid officejob in the near future.

I don't farm gold. The only thing I ever farm is rep/etc. for specific in-game achievements.

I dont believe this to be true. I have pretty regular dialoge with gamemasters and they have always been very friendly towards me, even cheerfull. There has never been any sign of them not wanting me to do what im doing. Im pretty sure they would let me know if things where to be otherwise. On the other hand, it appear their automated systems do investigate me once in awhile, maybe based on player rapports. When "warden", the anticheat software doesnt find anything on my computers, it seem to do other tests to try see if im actually behind the keyboard. And it probably does this towards all/any players, if rapported. But thats fine ofcourse.


Also, i play on some of the largest realms and back in legion there were maaaaany multiboxers farming. Im pretty sure i know about almost every inch of bfa and ive only seen 2 other multiboxers (one 5man stand still farmer and one 10 druid herb collector), thats it. I guess the others got banned or quitted ? :p

Also, people that do join in on the farming randomly are very thankfull and there is loot for everyone.

I was thinking of boxing 41 characters. No videos of where I live or which buttons I push while farming.

Back in MoP, I mboxed raid-content and had GMs porting me around making sure I wasn't doing anything 'shady'.

In WoD I had my 20m roaming gank squad where I would camp towns, cities etc. GMs would talk to me, watch, laugh and also thank me for only camping one area for 15-30 minutes and leaving for a while so as to not truly disrupt gameplay for others (I also played on a server where there was no horde.. max level it was split 1200ish for horde and 78,400ish for alliance).

In Legion I was Perma-banned for standstill farming, I nearly lost everything. Mostly because they said I was involved with RMT and I defended myself based on that-- which wasn't what they banned me for. Was quickly reversed when I found out what the real issue and sorted it out.

In BFA I decided to pretty much stay in constant contact with 'Blizzard' by way of online tickets. Anytime I do something 'suspicious' they are aware of it before I even do it. During the black friday sales I spent 65m gold+ and bought a crazy amount of items, pets, gamekeys, mounts (etc) and had huuuuuge giveaways. Did all sorts of crazy server events for fun. I literally sent my entire setup with a recording of how it operates which they thanked me for.

If 'they' don't want you doing something they will break it. If you find a way around it they will hotfix it.
'They' personally called Malseph and asked him to stop 'something' he was doing that they didn't like (Malseph is a decent boxer, PVP and stomps BGs).

The 'spirit' of the game is what you make of it and I feel it's quite informative when boxers talk about (legal-ToS) things they do that might involve a GM because it can look suss. The game evolves. The players do too. Things that didn't exist 2 years ago now do. I dunno.

[JohnGabriel]

Every single time they find your standstill AoE farming area they nerf it, that certainly seems like they don't want you to doing it. They let you because you're not botting.

Though if they really didn't want you to they could just add diminishing returns to the loot. Like every time you attack a certain mob the loot reduced 1% and increased 1% attacking a different type mob or different area.

I would love having tons of gold, but I have some social anxiety and cant handle the stress of it, I would rather hide and not be noticed. Other people box for gold advantage I box so I don't have to play with others.

[Kayley]

They nerf the farming spots when they become popular via Youtube. Most of those (BFA) aren't even 'stand-still', the players are active and running around.

People still 'stand-still' farm that place in Nagrand for sumptuous fur/leather haha.
Who knows what Blizzard use to decide if an area is too good or not.

This is true, there are few true "stand still on one spot farm spots" left, but you can still start "hyper spawns", but it usually require a "lot" (10+) characters spread all over killing mobs, and after a min or two, the mobs start to "hyperspawn" = many characters all over doing their own "stand still farm". Sometimes you just need to test out a area and have a little patience and then "baaam" /yes

[WOWBOX40]

Was casually farming a bit with all my characters tightly placed in the same area. I basically just got there and noticed some other players that wanted to join. I went on to change groups and placement of several characters. This took 10 min or so atleast. I then noticed some characters had been teleported away a bit. I quickly moved them back, then they disconnected and got banned. I had been rapported for cheating from other players. After many mails to blizz, to the very top, they insist to keep them banned for several months. Its only those couple of accounts though and no big deal for me. Understand it those who can (only those 2).

Apparently (my best guess, as they wouldnt reveal the reason, as they had to keep that a secret), they didnt like the "one button key remapping farming button" i used and ment it was automation. So i will be using 1 button for a dps macro, one for looting and one for jumping, from now on.

So if you get rapported, you can get quickly tested, teleports, games disconnects and maybe more. Better be awake. Be carefull out there.

People at Blizzard, probably thinking:

I don't farm and I pay for my accounts, been like that for 10 years. Though I would like to make some gold... not for game time but for mounts, gear etc
