Who would of guessed letting them fester would make things worse. I feel sorry for him but doesn't surprise me one bit with how blizz is with bots. Log in once a week jeeze.

I don’t know how he noticed it, but I remember logging into the Era servers before the release of the Fresh ones and spotting a group of bot paladins in the human starting area. There were five of them, they were in a party, following each other, and performing identical actions.
@@bobthor9647 The names are usually a good give away, Gsdtfg, Jgscftw etc. Now maybe all the characters were genuine players with random letters for names and simply killing boars and not questing.
Imagine hiring GMs to actually monitor your game. Then again, expecting any more from Blizzard at this point is 'fool me once, shame on you, fool me 29387 times, shame on me'
Imagine a blizzard team needing a couple of months to roll out anti-bot measures that work, and cover enough ground that the botters need time to recover, but players who don't understand the process create their own disappointment with unrealistic expectations.
@@Karakorndruid i'm more inclined they were just official blizzard gm bots just to make it look like they were doing something, my friend had one tp in right in front of him while he was AoEing during the leveling process at launch and the gm didnt say a damn word at all
I refuse to play on Blizzard Servers due to Botting issues ruining the economy. It happened on SoD Classic + and Era Classic Servers. That one Bot farm that was shown with 7 large screens with 56 instances of the game was ridiculous to see.
They aren’t better than regular players. They just have an infinite amount of time. They can literally be playing 24/7. Just farm an easy mob of equivalent level and they will level in safety.
"Blizzard, where we take the time to ban real players for the language they use, but don't take the time to ban bot accounts that actually ruin the game."
@@davidellett5065 To be fair everybody can code it in 2min in python. Python made bot development so easy with use of libaries, a 6 year old could code one with cv2.
Saw a whole bunch of those hunter bots in azshara last night. They were killing all the nagas. They run the same exact path and are terrible at tagging mobs.
I picked up SOD again after the runes change and while questing in Duskwood I saw about 10 to 1 hunters bots vs real players. This is totally out of control.
There is also an issue with auction bots. I have two accounts and decided to check if there is a price difference between the Horde and the Alliance. I found a few items that could be bought on the Horde side and transferred to the Alliance through the neutral auction house (and vice versa) to make some gold. I listed an item below the vendor price, and it was bought the very second I posted it. I realized something was wrong, found the buyer's name, reported them, and some time later I received a message saying someone had been banned based on my report.
Golden pearls being 4.1g each last night on PvE EU is absolutely wild. The price has actually gone DOWN by 2.5g per unit since raids and spell power enchant came out... I've never seen so many bots. Fishing bots and naga/turtle grinders. Even after demand and inflation kick in I'm doubting if they'll ever get close to the 2019 classic prices.
If you ban them one by one, they learn about their mistakes and come back in no time. Banwaves are an effective way to combat this. The wave will come, just be patient.
@@davidellett5065 Botters are connected to the International Criminal operations (Cartels etc.) as well as the governments of Korea and Russia. They are part of their funding and money laundering operations in many cases. They Doxed Madskillz and are capable of finding ways of causing harm to his personal finances, his family or Swatting him now that they have enough information from The Dox. Billion Dollar Criminal Enterprise can destroy an individual and once it crosses international lines the courts and law enforcement are powerless.
@@davidellett5065they are it’s empty. I’m currently releveling my hunter on hardcore doomhowl on both my main and second account and I can tell you I will easily be trying to do these things again. More people try and do it too they cant make empty threats to everyone
Im playing Turtle WoW now. I have a lot more faith in the security and future of this server than blizzards half assed servers I havent seen a SINGLE bot yet. Its incredible what a few paid employees can do for a server
@@randylahey2660 totally agree, I hope they don't get Blizzards aggro too soon though. Im a bit concerned about what happens if they launch the unreal engine client. Might be the downfall of their own success
If they were allowed, like the classic EQ private servers, and not illegal, i might give it a try. If they are making money it's more likely to get shut down , but who knows
I first noticed them in southern Arathi Highlands, the area around the ogre part with the raptors. A dwarf hunter kept killing rapors with (of course) a boar called "Boar". I exploited him by skinning his kills before he could; but this got boring fast. Then I realized I was surrounded by 3 of these. Same exact thing happened in STV. So sad.
over at SOD Auction house botting is insane: i have being unable to sell flasks at full raiding peak hours for weeks becuase somebody over at living flame(EU)(ally) just camp it day&night online legit all the time and just standing in front of auction house and instant undercut everyone also always standing on same spot and do same path between AH/Mail i noticed AH Botting is even more worst becuase its more "hidden" but honestly do even more damage to the game atleast with bots in the open world/dungeon farming bots: you are still able to sell stuff on auction house Auction house bots basically do so only Raw gold farms or buying gold is the only way to get gold and becuase of that people gonna buy gold and do this circle so AH Bots is just so much worst and vendor bots too
Blizzard ignores the bot problem and it’s ruining the game. If we want change we should unite and stop playing for 1-2 months. That’s the only way to pressure them to issue mass bans on bots.
I have a friend who reported a Bot, he sent him a message, he didn't respond, and after a few days the "BOT" came with another account and said he was going to "Mass Report" him, 2 days later his account was banned for using a Hack, he complained and Blizzard later said it was a Mass Report, not even they know why he was banned, in short, my friend was banned by someone who uses a BOT.
Was leveling my warlock on eu pvp server, whole 1k needels etc infested by hunter and mage bots, i had hope this time that blizz did something, that was not the case agen.
The main problem here are goldbuyers. Later u can talk about mafias or about an innoperative company. But this problem was created by players, and in second term, hold by people Who knows how to satisfy that demand. Blizz has the key, but looks like they prefer more dollars. They dont care if i play with Mr Anderson, or with Mr Smith. Sad, but true.
They need to remove the limited supply. It’s literally causing bots imo. I had the exact same experience with Qia on Nightslayer because I was at 260 tailor and wanted to make bags for all my alts. Go to Winterspring and see lvl 1 bots surrounding her on every layer, all spamming a macro to instantly buy the recipes. They then post the patterns on the AH for 40-50g. I actually spent 4 hours one day spamming the same macro while watching movies. Never got it. Logged in at 4am. Bots still there. I gave up and bought it on AH for 35g and never looked back. Absolutely despicable.
I quit the fresh pve server wjen i hit stv and didnt see a single mob in 30 mins, so many bots there was literally no mobs anywhere... cant even send them to graveyard like in pvp. Feels like more bots than players
i got a week ban for following a bot around and psychic screaming his mobs. meanwhile sergey can dox madskillzhc, threaten to kill his family IRL and suffer zero consequences.
Blizzard are useless, why is it that the private servers can get rid of bots, but the offical servers can't? The private servers add new content, while the offical gave us SoD lol stop playing on the offical servers imo
@user-darkodbd it's because the devs got rid of them lol p servers used to have bots and goldsellers. And the p server population is in the 100,000s if not over 1 mil. It's bigger than offical classic 😅
So for alliance the thunderbrew flask from westfall that does a cone of fire damage does NOT count as PVP, so if you're on a pvp server and lvl 1 horde bots are sitting there you can use the effect to kill the lowbies camping it and not be bothered by the guards, just a fun way to mess with the bots.
We need GMs but let's be real, there's no way Blizzard is going to pay for them. That's why we absolutelly need a system where renowned players can moderate the game as GMs. Maybe it should be only if you're streaming, I'd be fine with that even tho I am not streamer.
Anyone know if the goldBUYERS will get punished at all? Cause shitload of bots = shitload of RMT right? Everyone and their mother has fiery weapon, full boe's and epic mount on Thunderstrike EU...like cmon it's not even four weeks in
Do not say that bots are better than players. They are playing with literally zero risk - they farm at the low end of their experience range, in areas with mild mob density so its easy to fight them one by one. They do this in an extremely inefficient way because...its a bot - no one is wasting time by playing in such a slow manner. They never do any quests, they never enter caves, they never enter dungeons, and they never enter areas that are dangerous. That is why you always find them in certain locations that are deemed safe to farm mindlessly. Any player could play this way and also get to level 50+, but it would be so slow and monotonous that no one really wants to do this. These bots can do this 24/7 which is why they've reached such high levels. Saying these bots are 'better' than players is like saying someone who climbed a mountain using stairs is better than someone who climbed the cliffs because they made it to the top first. It is not close to equal.
If it wasn't for Fat Sweat, the gold farmers would starve & eventually move onto some other server or preferable off WoW altogether. If you know of a Fat Sweat, then name & shame.
seen plenty of bots on horde side. indeed all hunters. southern part of feralas, killing bears. 1 mob at a time. skinning and sitting down after each kill
If you think botting now is bad then you definitely weren't around when Honorbuddy and Glider were a thing. You almost couldn't level gathering skills. Farming elemental drops? Good luck. No amount of bots are good, but this isn't even remotely as bad as it was. Also, blizzard and bots are like banks and criminals: they both get paid whether people get hurt or not. Why would they want to end all that money? The amount of bots paying makes up for the people saying they won't play because of bots. Probably 10x. But also, a lot of the people you think are betting dungeons, especially ZF, and ESPECIALLY on hardcore, probably are just grinders in countries where selling gold is better profit and more entertaining than trying to find a regular job. I've met quite a few grinders like this from BR and Indonesia of all places, where $300/month USD (in gold selling) makes a giant difference in their daily lives. Also, for the people making money off videos about botting, Et tu, Brute? ;)
They probably got the idea to farm recipes from one of your gold guides lol I have seen those hunters. It's very peculiar. They run up to the mob, then stop, send their pet, then run back, and then open fire, every single time.
personally I've been leveling alt after alt in Doomhowl and Nightslayer and haven't seen a single blatant bot yet. Sure they are probably messing with the AH, bot fishing but I remember classic re-launch servers plagued by bots leveling everywhere
Lol on crusader strike sod i was farming hunters, kill their pet and they summon pet. I got 6 in thousand needles farm killing pets, Summon pet, Kill pet, summon pet, kill pet. Over and over again.
pvp is different. since the bots would get ganked. on anniversary pve servers every zone is filled with hunter and druid and paladin bots. camping farm areas. you want to farm elemental water or something? too bad, there are at least 3 hunter bots camping the area. so good luck getting a tag on a mob.
"They are better than most of the HC players..." Mhm... they are only grinding mobs. What is difficult on grinding mobs to lvl 60? Sorry, but this is not an archievement and nowhere near impressive of a bot doing the same thing over and over again.
just watching them usually is a dead giveaway. The will usually turn on a dime and just act like bots. However if you want to confirm your suspicions you can do things like private message them... you will get no response. you can open trade and offer gold and they won't take it. all things a real person would not do.
Yea, complaining but still throwing money at blizzard, something will surely change...i left that shitty company for turtle wow and never looked back, let them have their bots
Imagine making the same video about bots in classic wow since 2019 lol. Bota have swarmed every version of classic wow why would it be any different now?
Multi boxing itself is not inherently boting and afaik it’s allowed, as long as there is no actual automation involved. 3 shamans doing the same thing isn’t a sure fire way to know it’s a bot. Multi boxing does have certain limitations that bots don’t have so look them up and make your own educated guess.
@@masterzblaze4951 that's what a multi boxer looks like. Their keypress and mouse movements are duplicated across all the accounts they are using so all the characters will have ended up in exactly the same place. Maybe some bots multibox idk, but I would have thought they would spread out to increase the amount of mobs they can grind.
@@theoeras2103 I don't know cause I don't play retail, but the situation being what it is (and Blizzard not fixing botting) it looks like it would be an improvement. It's not like those recipes are meant to be rare anyway if a vendor sells them to anyone. Under normal circumstances it would not take long at all for anyone interested to acquire them at vendor price
they are in on it for sure. probably getting cut from botters. because there are kids who bot and get banned. and there are serious company like institutions where one person runs like 20 bots at once and sell gold. they probably give cut to blizzard to not get banned instantly. its so easy to find a bot that its hard to believe that blizzard has a hard time dealing with it

At level 8 how do you tell a bot hunter from a non-bot hunter ?

But also, a lot of the people you think are betting dungeons, especially ZF, and ESPECIALLY on hardcore, probably are just grinders in countries where selling gold is better profit and more entertaining than trying to find a regular job. I've met quite a few grinders like this from BR and Indonesia of all places, where $300/month USD (in gold selling) makes a giant difference in their daily lives. Also, for the people making money off videos about botting, Et tu, Brute? ;)
They probably got the idea to farm recipes from one of your gold guides lol I have seen those hunters. It's very peculiar. They run up to the mob, then stop, send their pet, then run back, and then open fire, every single time.
Botting on HC makes sense, get a bunch of mats die and wind up on PVE realm and sell it all. I am sure there is less competition for mats on HC.
Or sell them get the gold and sell it for premium to gold buyers
So glad my 6th sense told me it wasn't worth this time.
personally I've been leveling alt after alt in Doomhowl and Nightslayer and haven't seen a single blatant bot yet. Sure they are probably messing with the AH, bot fishing but I remember classic re-launch servers plagued by bots leveling everywhere
Turtle no bots
Lol on crusader strike sod i was farming hunters, kill their pet and they summon pet. I got 6 in thousand needles farm killing pets, Summon pet, Kill pet, summon pet, kill pet. Over and over again.
Haven't seen one bot on Nightslayer pvp classic era
pvp is different.
since the bots would get ganked.
on anniversary pve servers every zone is filled with hunter and druid and paladin bots.
camping farm areas.
you want to farm elemental water or something?
too bad, there are at least 3 hunter bots camping the area. so good luck getting a tag on a mob.
@spatrk6634 sounds like everyone needs to come to nightslayer sucks to here that about the other servers hate bots they ruined MMOs
@@Xceedpvp pvp severs probalby have bots as well.
they just probably in dungeons where they cant get ganked.
Bots pay sub and never complain.
they dont pay sub.
well maybe just first month.
later they just buy tokens.
After the last madskillzz video I uninstalled…Im free!!!…and it feels amazing
arch age had this problem a decade ago. which is why that game died
Prices are 200 euros for 1000g atm. Not worth
"They are better than most of the HC players..." Mhm... they are only grinding mobs. What is difficult on grinding mobs to lvl 60? Sorry, but this is not an archievement and nowhere near impressive of a bot doing the same thing over and over again.
I got unbanned after 5 days.. so annoying.. gains are lost forever 😂
How do you know Who is bot?
just watching them usually is a dead giveaway. The will usually turn on a dime and just act like bots. However if you want to confirm your suspicions you can do things like private message them... you will get no response. you can open trade and offer gold and they won't take it. all things a real person would not do.
Priv servers ban bots instantly. Why are u still paying blizzard
they ban only those that dont give them a cut from selling gold
Yea, complaining but still throwing money at blizzard, something will surely change...i left that shitty company for turtle wow and never looked back, let them have their bots
Imagine making the same video about bots in classic wow since 2019 lol. Bota have swarmed every version of classic wow why would it be any different now?
i have seen 3 shamans doing intro quest and they where moving in sync and attacking mobs in sync i think those where botting i think
Multi boxing itself is not inherently boting and afaik it’s allowed, as long as there is no actual automation involved. 3 shamans doing the same thing isn’t a sure fire way to know it’s a bot. Multi boxing does have certain limitations that bots don’t have so look them up and make your own educated guess.
@@core36 they were 3 characters literally standing on each other doing the same movement and the same attack at the same time they were botting
@@masterzblaze4951 that's what a multi boxer looks like. Their keypress and mouse movements are duplicated across all the accounts they are using so all the characters will have ended up in exactly the same place. Maybe some bots multibox idk, but I would have thought they would spread out to increase the amount of mobs they can grind.
they are waiting for Soda and his guild to get to 60 and start buying there gold and items
I stopped playing cause the bots… it’s so annoying
i just switched to pvp server.
lot harder for bots on pvp server.
Deja vu anyone else?
These videos were made in 2019😂 and you still think they will fix it?
You can’t fix bots until you fix humans wanting to buy gold. Good luck
I haven't seen any boys yet
they should just allow the vendors to sell unlimited quantity of those recipes.
Alas, retail
@@theoeras2103 I don't know cause I don't play retail, but the situation being what it is (and Blizzard not fixing botting) it looks like it would be an improvement. It's not like those recipes are meant to be rare anyway if a vendor sells them to anyone. Under normal circumstances it would not take long at all for anyone interested to acquire them at vendor price
Lol...something never change. :D (Btw there is a classic+ private server without bots, with better content and 5k+ population for free...)
Maybe Blizz is running the bots..?
they are in on it for sure.
probably getting cut from botters.
because there are kids who bot and get banned.
and there are serious company like institutions where one person runs like 20 bots at once and sell gold. they probably give cut to blizzard to not get banned instantly.
its so easy to find a bot that its hard to believe that blizzard has a hard time dealing with it
I haven’t seen any bots
Report them dude
cant believe people are shocked that GMs arent baby sitting classic servers.
New server same story
