To making it really annoying because the gold and items they create really fuck with the economy. It makes the effort put in by people actually playing worth less because it can drive both currency inflation, and the supply of crafting materials. Botting is also one of the mainstays of illicit RMT, which along with inflation helps promote shadier ways of getting gold (account hacks etc). <br />Funny thing is that the people who are gold farmers and not scrub players just know this is reality and don't cry about it. so these tears are some of the sweetest I have seen in a while.AnEveNonEntityhttp://anevenonentity.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-6651678454917074192015-05-15T10:34:28.174-05:002015-05-15T10:34:28.174-05:00I remember one addon that would, if I remember cor...I remember one addon that would, if I remember correctly literally put a circle on the ground where you needed to stand, and do a couple other things. Blizzard didn't like that, announced that doing so was not intended game play and told the users of it to stop. Those who did didn't end up with bans etc, but the people who ignored the rather public warning did face action (short bans IE a couple hours, for not heeding the warning after they detected it). They also worked to make the code no longer function. Problem for WoW is that the lua coding language is actually really powerful, so people come up with things that abuse this power.AnEveNonEntityhttp://anevenonentity.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-58341472500577350592015-05-15T08:38:12.730-05:002015-05-15T08:38:12.730-05:00People go to that exact same court to win with rea...People go to that exact same court to win with really weird cases.

It isn't a coincidence that they banned everyone just a little while after introducing the wow tokens....many many who get banned will 1) Buy a new copy of the game, 2) make a new subscription, 3) buy crap from the blizzard store since they lost everything and 4) buy wow tokens to fill up their gold stores that they lost. And blizzard makes 5$ more on every wow token than they do on a normal subscription fee. They are laughing all the way to the bank while walking on the backs of people who have been paying their paychecks already for 10 years.(BUT THEY CHEATED? Whatever, it's a game and botters don't really do any harm to anyone in any way that actually matters, particularly people who are fishing in their garrisons or some stupid crap like that). The whole thing is just a way for Blizzard to exploit the real world economy - shame we can't ban THEM for that shit.lalalaynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-19933364727989645222015-05-14T22:35:22.792-05:002015-05-14T22:35:22.792-05:00Noizy's roundups of tears are always delicious...Noizy's roundups of tears are always delicious, but this one was so huge that I actually think I have indigestion, like I'd just eaten too many slices of delicious cake.David Carsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-12326881169358381702015-05-14T19:04:53.577-05:002015-05-14T19:04:53.577-05:00You have anything to back up that bit of fear mong...You have anything to back up that bit of fear mongering?
