Massive Ban Wave

now we need to make a petition to get /follow back.if its true that bots are calling it quits then they should reenable it?

Please do not mention bots by name; this forum has no desire to advertise for them.

Where'd you get that "bots are calling it quits?" This arms race has been going on for a decade in this game alone, and has existed in every MMO since the beginning. :p

It took me 2 clicks to read an official announcement from the same company stating that:
- they will soon release a new client
- they have no clue if/how blizzard detected their bot, they suspect blizzard installed malware
- they say less than 100k users got banned, cause their bot never had more than 100k users to begin with

well even if there not gone we should look at doing a petition to see if we can get /follow back in since there doing something about bts.

Petitions are absolutely pointless and brainless. Solid arguments & reasoning is what matters to Blizzard.

follow was removed because of a very simple bot, if they was to add it back in then the simple bots would come back. i would stay out of it. am sure they add it back if they feel it needs to be back in the game but i think you find they like us out of bgs "it maybe fun for the boxers but its not fun for the player thats at the other end"

This is the internet now full of cry babys

With that said the majority of botters used program/plugins as auto combat rotations bot which is harmless in it of itself. The code needed for just this part in general is much less intrusive.

The players who have taken the small amount of time to code their own combat routines have not been banned to my knowledge. I am not saying none of them, but the ones I know havent, including myself. I am not a coder at all by nature however it was pretty easy to find the all material needed for wow out there on the internet.

It seem that only the ones who using this particular program gateway were banned which apparently blizzard can now see on their machines in which in the previous five years they couldnt.

I feel that some of the lazy botters who just installed this particular program and then just added their choice of plugins will learn to write/modify .lua code themselves. Making it a hell of alot harder for blizzard and time unconducive.
