#Asmongold
servers need low-level dedicated GMs that act like mayors to go around cleaning up the server on a local level, kind of like a local government/council. I bet a single GM could honestly have such an easy time just gathering intel and deleting gold farming guilds if dedicated to a single server. the only risk would be the gold farmers making their guilds look legit or using legit guilds to launder the gold. that's when it would become more complicated
ok baller
here's the thing
It costs money
Wont happen.
It was the case long ago but Activision came in
@@youtubesuresuckscock why you watching this then? Toxicity is so annoying
The people that play do this for them already though. Also you have to differentiate between which guilds are breaking TOS and which guilds are farming legit, which is pretty easy to tell I suppose. Farming is the backbone of of the games economy, getting rid of the shitty guilds using bots and other means of ruining the game need to go for sure though, drives me crazy
Lmao when asmon showed the slow support window opening and then the shop window was instant lmfao I died. That shit is no joke
For real, i had a character stuck in a loop that would keep dcing instantly, legit took 5-10min to open support, meanwhile shop was instant. And to think that i pay monthly to play..
The support tab is a literal database with access to articles about basically any word you can think of relating to the blizzard games. The shop is a few pages of 3d models. I get it's fun to shit on blizzard, but this one doesn't make sense. They aren't comparable.
Another fun one is if you’re click the mini menu (like spellbook & talents ect.) if you have one of those windows open eg: talents and click on another eg:spells it will close talents and open spells. BUT IF YOU’RE IN THE SHOP?!(which is on the same menu bar) that shit won’t close if you click on another window. It’s such a small behaviour but it makes me so mad
@@scladoffle2472 No, it's just an internet Browser and the Webserver it is trying to connect to is underpowered at best
As hilarious as it is, it was probably from the heavy traffic. Everyone there was likely trying to open tickets a the same time.
It's like an accidental DDOS, like when a Streamer with 50k viewers goes to some website, and every one of his viewers tries to go to that same website at the same time.
Still hilarious though
the fact blizzard layer's him out is so unreal..
But its real, and I hate it.
No worse, I don't like what they did to him. HOW COULD THEY!?
What happened?
@@Maltesfilm wow classic realms used to exist on multiple "layers" so that everyone could be out questing instead of waiting in massive lines for mobs to spawn. You could only travel between layers via group invites. Basically Blizzard just swept the bots under the rug to make it seem like they got banned.
@@josephrobinette8609 I hadn’t watched far enough in yet haha, thanks for explanation tho.
soooo fucken trash they tried to hide it?!?!??! hahahah how can you not realize that just makes it look worse, how fucken simple minded are they.
Asmon : WE NEED A GM NOW!!
GM comes*
GM to head GM : GM asmongold is exposing the bots... what should we do??
Head GM : Are these bots legit subscribers?
GM : Yeah!
Head GM : Make it appear like they are gone but dont remove them we need their money!
Exactly. Anyone that thinks Blizzard is going to ban revenue is INSANE.
@@Jeffrey_Tyler I learned that during the old Alterac Valley caveman days. Every AV, at least half of each faction would just sit in the starting cave to farm honor and the game was usually decided by who had more active players. Blizzard never banned anybody and tons of people were running around in full sets of honor gear that they farmed by sitting in the AV starting cave...
the thing is though, they aren't paying with their money. if a single bot is making a million a month they dont need to spend a single yen on a sub. blizz doesnt get anything from this besides appeasing their chinese overlords
@@fadingjupiter2621 Alterac Valley was never faction balanced so most afk people were alliance & alliance lost 98% of AV games, even for Classic. So that 15$ a month was used for nothing. Not for AV equality improvements that's for sure.
It’s so sad. Blizzard actually protects botting over fixing the issue. But don’t forget that blizzard needs the bots for engagement metrics. Realistically the subscriber numbers would be staggeringly much lower if they enforced rules banning botting. And the people in charge of making decisions to enforce it get a fair portion of money from stock options that rely very much on reports like engagement metrics and subscriber count. So they need the bots for their padding their paycheck
I came across the Druid army in Ardenweald once. It took a miracle for me to finish a number of Killing Quests in the area they were in.
was it like this? i know bunch of people farmed and hyper spawned mobs there for boe two weeks at start of SL - but those should be normal people jsut running around
@@poro9084 what are you ever saying dude? That makes no sense.
just turn on war mode dumb fuck
@@thotbreaker wouldn’t the farmer have to have war mode on as well to be able to kill him? Doesn’t matter if yours is on or not or am I wrong?
@@breed187 turning on war mode would phase you to another layer.
Blizz doesn't respond to Asmon's tweets because he's on a different layer.
@@martinivanov1319 this game is TRYING to cater for different types of gamers. If this is not the game for you anymore, then move on. Plenty of games out there, for you.
Just keep the hate to yourself and stop looking at any Wow content. You know blizzard won’t listen regardless. You’re just feeding their marketing strategy(getting a lot of views). Asmongold is part of it.
I’m here trying to make people realize how things work.
but blizzard doesn't hire the people who care about the game...
They shouldnt give a Shit about His tweets at all. There are thousands of people reporting bots and Run sellers daily and in forums and nothing Happens. Asmonbald is Not the jesus of wow
They ignored and removed my post for same issue
Slaps can you make a vid o on why class utilitie is just as important as dps aka Stuns,ccs
The only real way to fix the problem is mass quitting the game.
Did that in in early BFA.
@@Dim3s. I quit at end of Warlords of Draenor.
best way to blocking players from china palying on US / EU servers
@@xelthiavice4276. Just gotta convince Blizzard that. They seemed to have joined in the "can't say anything negative about China" now.
Yeah. I quit this game the moment they did the "I hate thinking about it" event years ago.
Cheaters tolerated everywhere - in gaming, in real life, at work, in politics. Humans are garbage.
You do realize you're human too right. You talk like you're from outside your own judgment.
@@BelimaiSykes Imagine being so Incredibly dumb that you defend someone who declares that humans are garbage after seeing a single travesty. Your own immaturity is showing with that little outburst.
@@BelimaiSykes I’m doubting the validity of that statement given that your response is only about 50% literate.
@@BelimaiSykes Calm down Karen
Lol. It's ShOcKiNg that a comment thread calling people garbage is in fact a dumpster.
The problem is they don’t have active GM’s anymore...
This ^^^
Yep. Nowadays, GMs arent logged into the game, playing, or wandering while invisible. They are just at a chat console, and never see WHATS happening in the game anymore.
Everything is handles via chats & tickets, and the GM never has to see anything of what is happening in the game.
Which is sad, cause it leaves some GMs disconnected from whats happening.
Brah, GMs are players too, they literally get infinite gametime as one of their work perks.
I remember in legion one of the logged into my char to see if they can reproduce my problem, turned out an addon was fucking around w some stuff for me.
So they aren't just chatting. But their main stuff is customer service. not botting, especially that it was semi legal until now.
@@robertg7249 they are there to give great customer service to select few to generate good stories to tell when ever someone brings up an issue like bots, that would cost the company money to fix
asmon has a video of one killing an entire raid in beta to stop them from showing a broken part of the game so they obviously pay attention to him and will take action but for some reason not here?
The reason why they didn't send a GM over is probably because Blizzard fired them all so that green goblin Robert Kotick can get another raise.
what a fresh take.
Botter lives matter too. Nerds.
It took asmon crying for hours for anything to happen for this ONE incident.
Asmon also self explained to why they arent doing anything about it. Its inflating the value of gold which in turn is putting more money into their pockets
Gallywix runs Blizzard
Did they disolve the bureau in france?
Imagine paying for this. And gm just phases the streamer out so ppl cant see it instead of fixing it. What a chinese approach to problem
Imagine buying the game and paying a subscription fee for this experience
@@odenoki9571 Imagine going online to defend the cccp
blizz during investor call: UsEr EnGaGeMeNt Is Up...
Haha, so silly how they think they can fool anyone with using bs terms like "User engagement". Everyone knows player count is in the dumpster
Blizzard: You can't complain if you can't see the problem.
Yup , sounds like their mentality xD
I bet they learn this mentality from their CCP shareholders
The thing is - Blizzard does what makes them most money.
I think bots make them money too, even if the do not admit it...
@@samjones5399 business as usual B-)
Chinese company, chinese solutions. Have fun supporting communistic brutality.
7:47 , this killed me. Asmo is like "you're looking at tens of thousands of dollars invested in this game", and then that bastard's like "I sniped mine for 100g"
I love this guy idk xD
What does "sniped" mean in this context?
@@NikkiSerB I think he means he outbid in the last minutes of the auction, or something. Haven't played in a while, I could be wrong.
@@heatseeker9573 I think it means that someone who has no idea of prices put it up on the auktionhouse and he bought it for a tiny tiny fraction of it's actual worth before anyone else could.
@@leonm8906 is it obtainable off the black market AH? that could be what it means.
The sad part is I've seen private servers insta ban bots and show their names
Imagine if after all the bots stopped they just slowly turned and stared at Asmon in sync.
This just in, Blizzard doesnt give a shit about the botting issue.
I reported some bots farming a hyper spawn with a couple randoms I ran into while questing. I got a letter from customer support thanking me for reporting them and such. So blizz might care if enough people report the same account but it's slow going. You report a handful of botting accounts but these guys have more accounts on hand.
@@Bismuth00 the response you got was probably written by a bot too
@@Luna-vc7lv THIS !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Luna-vc7lv Its an automatic response sent out when they do ban a character that you reported for cheating in game. This is one of the few exceptions for when you get confirmation that a player was banned.
@@Bismuth00 Thats supposed to happen anytime that you report a player in game for cheating and it results in a ban. This is one of the few exceptions when you get to know that your efforts resulted in a ban. Sadly, I never got such a letter despite my efforts leading up to the banning of Input Broadcasting Software and so it doesn't always get sent out. On the other hand to ensure these players got banned I also reported the players via email.
Plot twist, blizzard is the one botting to increase income from the market.
Deep conspiracy 🤔
@@TiggyRolls As admins they can just type a command and spawn gold in their bags......so no
It’s not increasing income from the market tho
Blizzard benefits from bots subscription 👌🏻
Another day of work for Blizzard China division.
The real sad thing is:
WOW is just a RPG but really shows the CORRUPTION of real world.
Those greedy crazy bots are real Lich Kings and Old Gods in Azeroth.
THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. THEY RUINED EVERYTHING. WE CAN NEVER WIN.
I just found out about this video and seriously why doesnt everybody just quit WoW? Based on this video Blizzard seems more intereted in hiding the bots and protecting them than protecting the average player
@@JimRaynor2001 pretty sure he didnt quit the game for good. From what I heard Asmon said he would quit if the next expansion sucked but I dont think he sais anything about classic wow
Ik it's crazy.
Playing as long as some people have its hard to just quit. Sounds stupid since it's a game but for example I've been playing my priest for 10 years lol. I don't play as much now but I'll come back every big patch or so, just to pug some mythic+ and pvp for a month or so
this is the most productive thing ive ever seen out of a video game youtuber. using your small amount of celebrity to actually make a difference. awesome.
Remember when they fired a lot of personal at activision blizzard? Those were mostly quality assurance staff like GMs etc because big guys thought they aren't important at generating revenue and firing them allows them to cut more costs and increase growth to please the investors. Of course it leads to the big downgrade in quality since with no support and no people who watch over the quality various hackers, botters, gold sellers etc. start to get away with more and more shit (since it will take much more time to punish them properly). Those things are much more difficult to control with a program (that can just autoban you for using no-no words) and require actual people to work but blizzard doesn't want to spend money on it. For the same reason they didnt care about bots on classic, where even private servers would put more effort into preventing this.
I do not think they reduced WoW staff. I think they have most people working on WoW they ever had.
The thing is - botting makes them money too, even if they will not admit it. And they are not going to remove things which makes them money.
They will try to make even more money from it, like they did it with WoW Token, gold selling was always a thing and it always will be, so Blizzard took they cut with introduction of WoW Tokens. :))
Acvtivision is like a sickness
@@Spazik86 obviously they don't, if they can affort that many bots means that they are worth it in form of selling gold , which means less wow tokens.
"Please the investors". Not with this company, the executive staff are the ones raking in the cash. ATVI pays a very low dividend rate
I remember when a GM would be an actual character in blue robes that would appear near to you in-game and talk to you via whisper with a fancy blue "Blizz" next to their name, like some sort of guardian angel. It was great. No-one else could see them, only you.
Then they stopped that because a few friendly GMs would become actual friends with players, give out their fancy blue clothes, or just generally do fun things like spawn in random NPCs or kill players in a tongue-in-cheek manner... yup, now it's soulless. WoW Classic can't bring it back, even TBC Classic can't.
the fact that they layered asmondgold is srly the biggest fuckfinger to the whole community (quick we must hide our money income)
What do you mean by layered?
@@Botchulism_asdf They got sent to a different "phase" or "shard." Essentially think of it as a different realm within a zone. Every zone can have multiple shards on it, especially on high pop realms in order to reduce lag. They essentially just "hid" the problem from the players.
Layering is something the servers do automatically to help server stability, you actually think they did this on purpose?
@@Jokervision744 Well yes, there are way too many people on that layer, so obviously the servers would do that.
@@Jokervision744 Did you ever do raid farming? It layers out your entire group... It's an automatic thing.
Imagine paying for each expansion, having micro transactions, and still having to pay every month AGAIN just to play a boring out of touch mmo filled with bots and. An mmo that is managed, by the way, by immature frat boys who disrespect and blatantly discriminate against women in their work place to the point where a woman committed suicide because of her boss.
I’m not sure if this company deserves to die or not, but it definitely deserves a huge reality check. We’re sick of this.
The company _is_ dead. Blizzard was dying 10 years ago, and Activision finished it off with a bullet to the head. What we have now is just a zombie, a shambling abomination. It has no worth, it has not made anything good in its entire undead existence, and the sooner it is entirely burned to ashes the better.

Same.
I reported these bots in this location last month. Good to see they're still at it.
no one will ban them cause blizzard fired all the mods
Lmao same I saw these guys at the beginning of prepatch doing this same shit in Suramar and i reported all of them I even remember getting a little mail message saying the problem had been dealt with a while later
They just make new accounts. Will always be a problem
@Zharas Kerimbay with VPN existing, IP bans are as reliable as any other ban, and you best believe they use VPN. No, what you need is hardware ID bans. Disallow the computers that are multiboxing these things to play the game. Whilst it might be possible to spoof hardware ID, it is surely a great deal more work than getting a new IP..
what is it they are farming? meat drops? are they skinning? EDIT - oh just farming gold ok
So creepy when they all stopped moving. It's like the AI hivemind suddenly became self aware.

Essentially. Players are buying (Blizzard tokens) and feeding these Moonbots. As long as Blizzard is making actual $ from players getting the gold from these bots. Then Blizzard will protect this activity rather than adhere to their own ToS.

I used to hate asmongold after watching GW2 video.. from now he earned my respect... subbed 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This is game-breaking when its this blatant, no one wants to pay a sub to see this shit and have their server lag out on top of the in-game economy being screwed. This is some free-to-play shit right here ..
Right, like what is the sub actually paying for at this point, there's no GMs in game. Anyone with a pulse can see that this is blatant botting. People need to stop complaining with their words and complain with their wallet and unsub and go play some other game. $$$$$ is all blizz understands. If there is no playerbase for the bots to sell gold to then the Actiblizzsion will lose the money from the players and the bots, theyll lose everything.
Well im actually glad i saw this video because i just leveled 2 chars to 20 level and i was about to sub for 6 months and start this game. I have bought MnB bannerlord instead. I get what i pay for and it isnt a sub too. WoW is not really better than a normal f2p game and even worse than many as far as i see and on top of it its not f2p but you have to subscribe AND buy the latest expansion everytime if you want to play the actual game, like what the fuck? And these army of bots, no thanks i can even smoke with that money and it still would be a healthier and better choice. I recommend you guys to try out other games because even some f2p games are better quality and much more caring than this. Seriously i have never seen this level of bullcrap in any other game holy shit...
I don't often agree with Asmond. But on this issue i whole heartedly agree. This needs to stop. We pay good money to play this game and these farming companies artificially inflate the ingame economy forcing us to have to buy more tokens for gold or waste hundreds of hours to keep up.
so its a double jackpot for them why would they do anything about it, they know all people will do is bitching but they keep playing anyway

Thing is, even if you get them banned they have a clean account with guild permissions that will launder the gold. You can ban the players all you want but as long as blizzard doesn't delete the guild and all the gold FIRST this will never be fixed.
They likely investigated it, as soon as it was brought to their attention they likely traced it and temp banned every account in the guild until further notice.
@@drfate7863 No. The bots logged off. Blizzard isn't going to do shit.
@@JayStrun Blizzard is known to hold off on banning until they find the root problem, and once they can identify the program they do a blanket ban and wipe it out. Hopefully they'll do the same, though I wouldn't mind some manual bans in the meantime. The amount of bots is ridiculous, even on smaller servers
yeah they have enough gold to pay for more subscriptions, more subscriptions, more bots, never ending cycle of botting.
@@Brainth_1780 but money
They know about the bots. The bots are pulling them millions of dollars a month.
They aren't gonna ban the bots or the people selling mythic/raid loot for irl money. They make too much money. Someone from blizzard might even be pulling a mod jed here.
It's just like in PUBG that had a massive botting problem - they make so much more money from cheaters than from 'fair' players lol.
@@Crobian - I heard pubg made the bots themselves.
Im mod jed
That isn't how it works though, they aren't making millions they are making literally nothing. Botters do not pay anything for their accounts, they use tokens. With a token sub you can get all content except for shadowlands. That's why you're seeing all of these druids at level 50 after hours upon hours of farming, they can't get xp since they do not own shadowlands. If these accounts are operating, entirely for free, how do you figure that Blizzard is profiting from this in any way?
If anything all of the bots buying tokens is driving the gold value of each token down, causing less actual players to spend the actual cash due to the return being low. The impact this has on the servers also increases operation costs. Blizzard only loses here by not taking action.
If a single player leaves the game because of the bot problem, they are losing more than keeping bots that they literally profit nothing from.
@@Profeces The tokens don't just appear from thin air, someone needs to buy the token with real money first. And tokens are more expensive than subs, so if the bots are using tokens, they are giving more money to blizzard than actual subscriptions.
That’s something I respect about Square Enix, their bottling problem was so bad when ARR came out, there were literally dozens of RMT bots shouting in the cities advertising their bullshit. It took a while, but SE gave us blacklisting options while they started methodically banning those accounts and taking other steps. Now it’s actually rare to see an RMT shout and they made it so easy to report them with a simple right click
I do frequently see the botters no-clipping into the ground sadly. but yes, there's less botspam in shhout.
Boycott Blizzard, hit them where it hurts !!! (They will not ban Bots since they are part of the economy right now, Blizzard makes profit from them)
No need to boycott, they've been hemorrhaging users for years now just because of the state of the game in general
you should be boycotting them for some new shit to do ingame instead of just reskinning it every xpac

Turned war mode on and went to bastion, druids riding druids in a conga line picking herbs. About 12 of them, spent 3 hours killing every single one of them. Reported them all, a couple days later I get a letter in the mail from blizzard telling me thanks for the reports and they banned them. So fucking satisfying
And all that means is they bought more boosted druids and went right back to it. Exactly what Blizzard wants. Otherwise they would track their mails, something they can do, and ban the seller accounts. Guess what Blizzard doesn't do because they get so much money from them lol.
I have seen this conga line druids with cheeta travel form as well, farming herbs in Bastion. Saw them once in Maldraxxus as well. I didn't realise at the time that they were bots, I thought it was one person with a group on Follow. Next time I'll try to report.
blizzard doesnt send that kinda mail to your mailbox.. they do however thank you and that if action will be /has taken place which is auto generated from a temp auto ban triggered from the player report threshold for 72hrs being hit
congrats you along with around 100 other players mass reported bots till a bot auto kicked the bots then told the mailing bot to bot you a letter. lol botception kinda beautiful in a fcked up kinda way

@Joltacks for sure he has
Nice.
Activision/blizzard should force them into warmode.
Would be a nice honor farm.
I used to do this with my hunter. Sic zandalari dinos on them, then feign death and watch as they get rekt.
Another month gone by, another $15 saved. Feels good.
Whenever I played WoW, I always stumbled upon bots, and reported them, days, even weeks later, I still saw same person running around with bot train, or in another area. With nothing being done towards the problem.
Blizzard is simps for this crap, because for them, all that matters is money, not the player experience
That's what I liked about CCP in Eve Online. They didn't care if you were paying with cash or ISK. If you were botting, you were getting banned. If you were caught cheating, you got banned. If you got caught taking part in any RMT, you were getting banned. They didn't care. Those people were going to sign up with new accounts anyway. No money lost to CCP, they would just keep banning the cheaters and TOS breakers.
@@Dakarn What an unfortunate acronym to name your game company
Wby isn't there a Militia? Like having a reroll in the other faction camping the bots?

3 years later, this is still happening on Stormscale servers. Just bought a subscription after barely playing in the past and boom, loads of these owls blocking battle for azeroth campaign quests. I really hope this isn't a thing that lasts forever, I really want to progress and use my money to the fullest rather than be forced to wait for either blizzard to do something or the bots to leave.
The way to beat bots is to use something like talented flamestrike as fire mage where the ticks will tag a mob before a boomkin can. You generally only need to cover one spot and it fatally damages their profitability so they generally quit and leave you with a monopoly.
Man, you're sitting there wondering if you won: That wasn't a win. They logged off, man. Blizzard didn't even come down from the fucking heavens and tell you. Those guys will be back on in a day or two with new software.
Correct, the bot owner just happened to look over and check his screen and seen asmond and crew all sitting there.. Hit stop, then logged out.
Bullshit. Humans herb all day too, bots compete, they don’t drive down prices.
They might get a surprise.
@@gunnar5489 cheap herbs? another way of looking at it is that bots make gathering professions less rewarding
@@breinheimmesotin7166 Saying people are bad because they herb by hand kinda pisses me off! It's mindsets like this that ruin this fucking game.
What Eve online does when players find bots: Organize an event around players killing bots and looting their wrecks for free.
What WoW does: Just blind them to the reality, we can't risk China.
WoW needs to let you loot dead players.
No one tried organizing a ganking task force before in WOW? If I recall Goon's feat was quite public.
@@davidleung9960 it was. Blizzard are so obsessed with making more money, that they loose their fanbase and hence money. Eve knows their playerbase, because they invest a lot of time in their social aspect, something Blizzard has put way back in their priorities.
Blizzard China siphoning western wealth to their county via fake virtual currency is what you are seeing.
Blizzard will never ban bots or gold selling, they actually support it.
Why?
Because the majority of bot owners are Chinese, the majority of gold buyers are westerners.
Everytime someone buys gold on wow wealth is transformed from western nations to China.
At this point it is probably millions, potentially billions of $$$.
The rabbit hole goes deep.
Valve when they ban notorious botters: Shut down the server and then twitch bans the livestream 10 seconds later. GG valve.
Im betting the bots got their own special phase.
Beware, weary npc mob, beware, for there is told of the dreaded moonkin bot who farms your kind ceaselessly, lagging the very game out, breaking the auction house with near limitless gold. Seriously never had I seen so many moonkin in one spot like that all running in perfect lines. Talk about crazy. 😂
Blizzard: lol we are totally 100% absolutely hearing you and will work to solve the issue, thanks for your sub money bye.
"Ban the BOTS!!" Blizzard: "Mmmmmoooooonnneeeeeeeeey$$$$$$$$$$$$$$'
The account bots pay the subscription with gold .
@@johnnypm1034 but they all purchased shadowlands
@@kronniichiwa9909 its like the same with the multi boxer, but they wont them anymore too. If you let the bots win, the subs from real persons going down and then blizz dont make money, so they have and they will go against the bots
@@kronniichiwa9909 no they don’t, they play up until shadowlands, they do not enter it. Though blizzard is now rewarding players for reporting nazmir bots, but honesty, they just need to nuke the spawn rate
Why do people still play WoW, when the game is such messed up by botting/cheating and even the developers dont care becouse of $$? I would have switched to any other MMO, spending my monthly revenue there to help the other game become better one day than WoW.
if more ppl thought like that blizz could have competition enough to care abou customer satisfaction. unfortunately too many people are invested either monetary or mentally in this game to simply leave all behind.
I know its a late reply, but people still sub because WoW has been such a big part of their life. When you have invested that much time and money into something, its extremely hard to just let go, and move on. Its not just as simple as "quit and move on" especially for the people that have been playing since 2004. I've only been playing for 5 years and was only able to let go very recently after seeing this botting issue, but it was extremely difficult because of how important WoW was to me and how much I invested into it during those 5 years.
It is still happening ... Friday night, two moonboys farming pigs in Drustvar - over and over and over, not moving. A half hour later, still going :(
Funny Timing I just ran into this on my server about 5 minuets ago when trying to do a quest. . . Needless to say I cant kill anything for it 🤔
That's happen to me too
Ikr I was trying to kill murlocs for bones and took me an hour or so to complete the quest
Turn "ON" War Mode PvP. You`ll change layer, they are not farming pvp layers, because else they can be killed.
Blizzard so mad at fixing it’s own problems they have to layer asmin to just relax the problem till the heat goes down
The very opening scene of this, just the look on his face made me burst out laughing
I report the same bots each day and i see him there for 6+ hours a day
I played I'm vanilla. It wasnt this hard to get a gm to appear in game. What a trash company
You are vanilla?
Blizzard support is trash, Autenticators dont even keep your accounts safe anymore, people are stealing accounts right now by contacting offshore blizzard support and saying they "lost their phone" and blizz is just handing accounts over to these thieves... happened to several friends of mine.
@@andrew.barker Why an offshore blizz support member has any say in eu or us is very questionable. That they even have my data is illegal according to us or eu laws.
Who asked
I'm Chocolate
Kind of explains why those sub numbers are so high doesn't it?
I mean, their sub money is as good as anyone else's in Activision's eyes. Probably explains why they haven't banned them. They bring in enough money to offset the players leaving, at least in the short term. I know Jagex (Runescape) has a similar issue, but they have even less resources to handle it.
But these bots only sub via AH token purchase.
@@Arouxayis which are bought by someone. Blizzard is still getting their money.
Yeh I highly doubt there paying a subscription when they can easily buy wow tokens
@@Yosh7437 Some real person pays for that wow token, though. They're still making money from these bots.
Blizzard don’t even care. Quit this game
blizzard only cares about standing around ... those who walk she doesn't care
if they're from China, just type 'June 4th Tiananmen Square massacre' and they will all have their internet cut by CCP
This actually worked when I /yelled that phrase. Immediately stopped moving in place and disappeared XD
@@lymadusrodriguez2061 there is no way
😁😁😁😁😂😂🤣😂
@@lymadusrodriguez2061 What, was the CCP afraid of the bots learning about TSM? Lol
@@doctorbrown5957 According to the CCP basically nobody died and the only people who did were basically terrorists. Saying otherwise can at worst end you in jail and at best lower your social credit score which in turn means your children won't be able to go to good schools or you and your family will be last in line for hospitals.
They aren’t going to do anything about it because it makes people buy more wow tokens to keep up with the bots
"NO justice, NO peace, MOON BOYS IN OUR STREETS" LOL
I can understand why games like that would participate in layering or sharding, but it takes away from the experience of a full world. However, when that full world is nothing but bots, then it's no fun.
"it's just how it is"
Asmon should know that better than anyone
This is still happening in a few spots in BFA I was just levelling a new toon through it and saw the exact same thing
Torga mission zone in nazmir was full of these
Saw them in that town near Suramar too.
"Look at all those chickens!"
I think blizzard intentionally leaves the bots in, to make tokens more expensive for the player
Thats what I was thinking! This makes it harder to buy tokens in game with WoW gold, so people are more often forced to pay with real money.
Dude blizz could of done some epic thing where a huge gm comes in and just kills all moonbois with an epic speech.
Wait until you get deeper into it and youll realize these small groups farm gold for the major guilds.
Isn’t that what happened the last expansion with method paying like 10k real money for gold . I’m sure they all do it just method was ousted because of all the sexual charges/allegations going on at the time and was used as a scapegoat.
@@anthippo91 Nah the gold method bought was from gallywix which was a big boosting community not from bots. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the big guilds acquired gold from botters too
The best part was when he got layered and he tought blizz was hiding the bots.
Exactly, what a joke.
They were tho... Regardless of whether it was active sever management or passive from the systems they created...
@@Preacher_. no. He was layed and the bots were hid. That doesn't mean he was layered to hide the bots. You're being dishonest
They "nappy'fied" Stormwind.
At this point they might just do anything bad.
What if blizz has a contract with Chinese companies to farm gold to inflate the price of wow tokens so it's harder for a regular player to play for free that way they don't lose out on $15 a month.
Crazy world huh, it takes a game to show people how the world is being run, but still, can only see the game, unplug from your alternate universes, be a witness to our own destruction.
In FXIV you click on any one and there is a report RMT option and is gone take 2 seconds and gone forever.
Nice Runescape vid. Wait a minute this is WoW? Welcome to the suffering we've felt since 2001.
😂😂😂
Blizz lets this slide, meanwhile I get a 6 month suspension for grinding capital city rep in Heroic BC dungeons to get the ambassador title. Fucking hell, this is bullshit.
Full PvP would fix this quicker than a GM. Just sayin~
The end is the ironic part. Singular bots can't cut it. Only an army of them can.
The setup is smart, but it's wrong.
Lets be real, Blizzard needs those bots to keep the subscriber numbers up lmao
Lol so true, the games so dead, just worthless addicts left.
I bet blizzard devs let these bots run free so they can pretend to their investors the game is a success.
@@eleson2568 retail wow has been trash since after wrath imo
Someone in chat: “HYPERSPAWN YOUR HAIR”
🤣😂🤣😂
That was quite an adventure.
Same happened in Lineage 2 back in the day... it's the beggining of the end. We too fought, we lost, now we rest.
biggest problem is when they hit a zone on a server they lag the living shit out of it , 5sec plus delay makes the game unplayable
thats not the server, that is your computers having trouble processing spell effects en mass
the realm itself can handle more and when it gets within 80% of cap it will shard out
On a private server that I play, you need to write a sequence of 3 numbers and press a button (not Enter), simulating a captcha, so you can keep farming, thus avoiding botting. It's not annoying, though. Something quick and that doesn't keep popping up. Maybe it could be an idea to be implemented in retail too; what you guys think?
Private servers are top tier somehow. What a shame.
i think this method will be hacked, by using copy-paste method from CPU Memory (server generated Captcha -> game got Captcha -> CPU search Captcha after getting message with "anti-bot" -> auto check and enter -> bot is farming again).
It wouldn't work. Runescape tried the same thing back 20 years ago.
and then people wonder why even of private servers botters are getting mass reported
Looks like there's more bot accounts than actual players!
Blizzard pumping those account numbers haha.
can someone please draw asmongold as the smokey bear saying " Only you can prevent bot boys" lol
only you can prevent moon bois
In reality it's one Chinese guy with multiple accounts and VPN lol
fuck the ChiComms.
Bots taking over WoW.
China takes over the west.
A coincidence? Guys - maybe its time to stop playing videogame for a while. Your "epic battle" knocks on your real door.
@@UltimateGamerCC
Your reply was satisfactory though.
I do the same.
Just spread the _"bad news"_ and call it conspiracy tea theory all you like, but make people ready for whats coming.
@@UltimateGamerCC "when the fighting starts then i'll act" - I'm sure you will, by hiding under the desk and panicking.
@@eodyn7 I really like how you base your entire opinion of a 1.5 billion large nation on nothing but your own ignorance and stupidity. You probably can't find China on a map either. No, that's Australia that you're thinking about.
When blizz sees this they see $$$.
Blizzard needs those bots to make the subs looks good. Cross realm was forced on the player base to bandaid a dying game, and to keep the appearance of active servers. And now, bots have taken over.
