The amount of uninformed nonsense posted in this thread is amazing. There are both technical and legal limitations (depending on where you are located) to what blizzard (or warden) can scan on your computer (i.e. check your memory). Updating there engine won't change nor prevent botting in the future.

Google the main bot, head to that forum, check the ban section: many bg botters got banned over the past weeks, to the extend that it's no longer considered safe. They manually intervene in BG's, real humans checking out players. A lot of logistic and human resources are devoted to that. Long story short:

It's the same thing as speeding on the high way or driving when smashed: you can't prevent it, but when you know that there is a good chance that you will get caught with severe repercussions, a big % will actually abide the rules. And that is something they have achieved now. If they will be able to keep up, that's a whole different thing. But in Europe, the amount of active bots in bg's during the night has decreased by a multitude. creating a much more fun gaming experience for everyone in random bgs.
