Tell your "I've been called a bot" stories!

i once did a instance with my tank druid and my freshly moved lock.

no one except the healer knew i was 2boxing it . i was doing the good ol 2 screens one comp. and had my g15 do a alt tab to the second box to tank my druid.


about 1/2 way into the instance someone msged me on the lock asking if i know the tank . i go nope.

2 secs later the same person msged my druid and go " pst this lock keeps forgeting to loot can you boot him .

i send him a tell using both accounts at once and a quick alt tab enter so he gets thema t the same time . i was /reported on the spot and a GM was talking to me the rest of the instance asking me questions and how i was doing tanking and dps .

I haven't been accused of botting yet, but I've noticed more people following me around now that I'm in higher level areas like EPL and Winterspring. I'm almost dreading what it's going to be like when we start running around in Outland.

The best comment I ever got was when my three identical toons were lowbes, standing around on the Zep to Org. The one other passenger just said "Creepy."

The worst that happened to me was I was being called a NOOB for having to play 5 box. I replied that playing one character or even 2 or 3 lost its flavor for me and the only challenge left for me is to do end game raids (which I do T/W/Th) or 5-box instances.

I then replied just coz you can't afford doesn't make me a noob, so don't hate. I then added, "Thank God for /ignore" and he responded with "Thank god for /report"

Well - a GM approached me and booted me from the game. Well - this is only because I had "illegal" characters like the carrets on my names to make them nearly identical (and prevent people from sending me tells). I log back in and just had a flag for name change. The GM said that I got reported for "botting" but informed me i wasn't doing anything illegal - my name however breaks the EULA :P

Funny stuff...

Someone just called me Xzin in game Must be the guild tag.

Those 10 boxers cheat the most. Honestly - nobody should be able to 10 box. You only have 2 arms. I can't possibly comprehend how this is possible so clearly it is cheating. Blizzard, please ban them thanks.

The signature was a giveaway, you should've toggled it off for a few days and it would've been real funny.

What sorta illegal characters?

Some special rule for the US client or.. ?

Wakk�� for example would be illegal on a US server.

I had GMs change my name from Xz to Xzin. More specifically they booted me off then flagged it. Still not sure why, because I later just remade a character called Xz.

I guess it worked out though, otherwise there would be no 'Zins".

My first characters when WoW came out were 2 letter names, and everybody would complain about it because they couldn't /who me, LOL. I didn't even think of that when I first made them. People would ask me, "Why the hell do you want a character with the name Lo?", and I would just say, "Because Rivendare sounds lame."

Every single "nonsensical name" that I have had on my accounts has been stealth nerfec / changed by a GM. Keep in mind that most of these accounts were never even logged on.

But I did have some good ones I rolled on Mag the day it went live, so I had a character named Everquest for example. Never logged them in but I guess I was reported so much the GMs just changed em.
