Blizzard: Bans 100k+ players from WoW
Blizzard: Bans 100k+ players from WoW
It’s no secret that players in World of Warcraft use bots. Whether it’s to farm the world of Azeroth for gold, crafting materials or even levels, a lot of bots exist. It’s a bannable offense but in the past you’d rarely have to fear because the experience was similar to illegally downloading music. You knew it was bad and yeah, you heard of another player getting banned but you’d never think it’d happen to you. Well, Blizzard just crit with the ban hammer, giving players using bots a six month account shut down.
They announced the decision on Thursday via the WoW Fourms
We’ve recently taken action against a large number of World of Warcraft accounts that were found to be using third-party programs that automate gameplay, known as “bots.” We’re committed to providing an equal and fair playing field for everyone in World of Warcraft, and will continue to take action against those found in violation of our Terms of Use. Cheating of any form will not be tolerated. via
It was only a matter of time before this happened, bots in WoW became too common of a sight whether it was in dungeons or PvP events such as Battlegrounds. Personally, I think it’s a good thing that this occurred. Still, that is a lot of money down the drain for Blizzard seeing as those 100k+ accounts each paid $15 a month but cleaning up the community to make the game more enjoyable for the others is a good move on their part.
So far it seems that accounts banned from this shall have their accounts unlocked in November.
