If you’re not quite bright, you should stay away from botting in World of Warcraft. An “expert” has exposed himself.
If you don’t want to manually fish in World of Warcraft and also don’t want to spend money in the auction house, you may have thought about using a fishing bot. These automatically fish the waters of Azeroth empty – but they are of course illegal and can lead to a ban if discovered.
On a WoW community Discord server, a player seemed to get a bit bold. He posted a video of himself with the question “Am I a bad person?” In the video, you could see his character fishing and also that the fishing rod was automatically reeled in – a clear fishing bot and thus a violation of Blizzard’s guidelines.
Blizzard employees on the server. This is particularly annoying when there is a community manager from Blizzard on the Discord server at the same time and witnesses the whole thing. One could basically count the minutes until the account is banned on one hand.
Blizzard employee promises “a bad time.” The aforementioned community manager, Ythisens, even jokingly commented on the Discord about the action and wondered why someone shared a video of it on a Discord server where a WoW employee is known to be. To top it off, you used one of the “dumbest bots ever made for WoW” that is “pretty easy to spot.”
Once again, this shows: If you want to cheat, you need to be smart about it. It’s nice when such cheaters expose themselves voluntarily.
Have you ever thought about using bots in WoW or another game? Or would that clash with your “gamer honor”?
