- bantam, on 10/12/2007, -4/+65Good. I hate cheaters
- TreasureChest, on 10/12/2007, -16/+50Don't take it too seriously or you'll end up like this guy:
http://digg.com/gaming/World_of_Warcraft_-_Raid_Leader_goes_Crazy - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22Those poor chinese gold farmers....
- SilentBobSC, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21The patch didn't ban them, if you'd READ the post you would have notice they said SINCE patch 1.10
And it's real interesting that you all are saying "Good for them" when a week or so ago everyone was saying what BS it was that they banned a player for using macros to farm points... - Xalorous, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Patches don't ban people, people ban people.
[thumbs down for horrible word substitution (aloud for allowed). Go to school, learn some grammar, then abuse us with your wisdom. ] - tehJR, on 10/12/2007, -5/+19haha you sound like a character from Star Trek
- aguita, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9@Anth
You do realize that the guy was not at his keyboard? The GM's sent him tells and he did not respond. He had set the keyboard to automate lvling his weapon skill. Basically, it was playing for him and he didn't respond when asked about it. That is botting and against the ToS. - SilentBobSC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah, absolutely out of control! They should allow people like you to cheat their system and destroy the experience for the rest of us....
By the way, did I mention ***** YOU - FishyJoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Botters are like drunk drivers. If you know what to look for you can spot them all over. Only a very small minority of them ever get caught. There are way more than 10k, probably a few 100k. And there is no way they will ban that many people, it would hurt their revenue too much.
- CorpT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7This is one of the reasons I love WoW. Asheron's Call let (and in some cases helped) cheaters. It made the game such crap. There are good reasons so many people play WoW. This is one of them.
- streetstealth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It's good to see Blizz taking these steps, but they still haven't dealt with what I consider the biggest obstacle to enjoyment of the game:
It's time to do something about these mean-spirited, puppy-kicking, kitten-stomping gankers whose perverse pleasure it is to insta-kill players half their level and camp their corpses. I know PVP servers are supposed to be dangerous, and I'd love to go out into contested areas to be ambushed into a fair fight -- but this is just ridiculous.
These maladjusted people have sociological problems, and it's time Blizz found a way to keep PVP fun for all levels, not just 60s. - CaptainMal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7First Reply!
- DarthDaddy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Someone should ban Blizzard for their recent lack of technical stability.
- Starch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6i agree, the end-game left much to be desired. I played for about 8 months and had a good time, met tons of cool people in chat and over voip. No regrets.
- gol706, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I have notice that now right after you log in it says something like "Submitting Anonymous Information" for a split second.
- sishgupta, on 10/12/2007, -8/+13Hopefully this will restore some balance to the economies on the realms.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7so is the real world.
- Anth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Yea but Blizzard was using a very blurred line to ban that guy. Its one thing to ban people using bots and whatnot, its quite easy to justify it, "You were running X program which does Y against the TOS." Whereas using the Macros on a keyboard is a but blurry. Use them to switch weapons, cast a spell, thats OK. Use it for a bit more? Maybe, if we catch you..
- SilentBobSC, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6If you have that big of a problem with it, go to a PVE and then just hit the Battlegrounds or PVP raids when you're feeling froggy.
- TreasureChest, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6haha glad you all liked it, if you haven't had enough here's some more:
http://digg.com/gaming/World_of_Warcraft_-_Raid_Leader_goes_Crazy_-_Part_2 - bort, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Correct, but still makes me happy!
- scispaz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9If you don't enjoy playing the game yourself, don't play it.
It is the easy way to get out and do stuff without being a jerk to those who enjoy the game, - v0id, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7thank you captain obvious...
- heresy_fnord, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@bort
I don't even play the game anymore and it still makes me happy. - jarofclay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I am glad Blizzard banned your cheating buddies.
- rderveloy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Reported as inaccurate. The patch didn't ban the players, the players were banned by GMs after the patch was released.
- lizard_king, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3aptly named 'The Warden'
- Stegg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Good for Blizzard.
- CoolSilver, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Wow it looks like all you need to be banned is a shallow accusation and a email address to send it.
- Starch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3no, i believe it was something they added a few patches ago; something that ran in the background and supposedly picked up third-party cheating apps.
- tapo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4By ruining the economy. The only way the guy who actually spent 5 hours in front of his computer can sell his stuff is by selling it for cheaper than what you cheated to get. It's as if you decided to make counterfeit money, and then wondered why it's wrong.
Besides, how does your arguement "let me get out every once in a while" apply when you do it while you sleep? And who says you needed that 40g you cheated to get anyway? - tapo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Why stop at MMOs, why bother playing any online game then?
Some people are dicks, and if they can find a way to cheat, they'll do it regardless of the genre. - neouser99, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5i can't quite get over all the totally l4mz0r posts inside that WoW thread.. sr sly :)
on the serious side, anyone else notice the maturity level of all the people in that thread? it seemed that none of them really had anything to offer, other than 'first post' or 'first page' or 'great'... i guess coming from a higher maturity level i would rather read about things that make sense instead of wasting needless amounts of time searching for the posts that really mattered or had something to say. it makes me really value the good affect that 'digg'ing individual posts has created. - Squidly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've noticed that many many farmers have completely disappeared. On Azgalor server, Ashzara and Felwood used to be littered with them. Completely gone now. No more identically equipped female rogues farming satrys 24x7.
There was also a hack that enabled hunters to teleport around and solo the Gordock King in Dire Maul. They've evidently done something about this too, as the prices of Major Mana potions hve shot up through the roof (the king's chest had Major Mana pots in it, and it was farmed so heavily that the price dropped on these items in the auction house.) - CaptainMal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Anonymous information that can be used to identify you if you're cheating.
Ummm, yeah that's real anonymous. - Xalorous, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Blizzard should be leading the pack on finding and eliminating cheats. After all, Diablo was one of the first online games with massive widespread cheating.
- Sophren, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Looks like they're cracking down on those G15 keyboards..
- shaka999, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4So I wonder if there was something added in the 1.10 patch that helped them identify the cheaters?
- |ant|, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Looks like my choice of Guild Wars is still looking solid. No problems, free gameplay, and an entertaining game.
- CaughtThinking, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5banned from wow? they just did their lives a major favor.
- jdavid, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4this was on blizzards front page as of monday or tuesday
- fishbert, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4At level 60?!
Hell, this game became brutally tedious by level 10. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2WOW! Nice digg, sucks to be the people banned, are all of em cheaters though?
- CaptainMal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Clearly you've never played any other MMO in your life.
- rderveloy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@xmuskrat:
"If they ban people "since 1.10" then all of the banning has been during the 1.10 patch."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Um... duh! But that doesn't mean the patch banned anyone! Game patches in MMO's don't ban or suspend accounts. Bans and suspensions are done by game moderators.
The forum post itself blatently says that it was Blizzard who banned the accounts after the patch was released. - Izzie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4+1
I wish posters could write. - UnderLoK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's sad that they don't do a better job catching the cheaters considering the revenue that this game generates. It is absolutely INSANE...
- revenant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3burn cheaters burn!!!!! MUaahahahahahaha! :D
- CaptainMal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, because when I'm paying 15 bux a month for a game, what I want to do is play babysitter to the hundreds of childish ganker 12-yr olds and go around reporting everyone.
The "non" PVP servers are a fine place for anyone who doesn't want to babysit though. I don't have a problem that the other servers exist. It isn't any fun playing on them though. Especially if your playtime is limited. - hcetrepus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I for one will put up with the shoddy service, and an extra wait time to authenticate, if it means getting those who wrongly farmand sell gold online kicked off. WTG Blizz!
