So wait... are you complaining about botters(which is a legitimate thread) or are you just turning this into another 'Aestu conspiracy theory against the evil company that he routinely gives 14 bucks a month to even though he hates them with a passion of a million burning sun' thread?

What's your point?
I give money to oil, banking and telecom companies I despise because Jesus Christ hasn't started an oil or telecom company yet.
Do you really think that financial transactions in this world correlate with moral approval?
My point is, ever since Cata was announced, you've done nothing but complain about Blizzard, how they are evil, how they ruin the game, how they screw over people like you by giving out re-skins of the rare mounts that you got without ninjaing.....seriously Aestu, if you hate it this much, and it aggravates you this immensely.....just quit.

I will admit back in the BC days I messed with a few bots just to try them out. But a good RL friend of mine and a buddy ive known in-game since BC both regularly bot. My real life friend has been banned 4 times, made a new account each time. My in-game buddy has never been banned, it really seems like the automatic tracker tries its best to get everyone but it just simply cannot. I have read and seen screenshots a few times where a player is actually by the botter and a GM responds fast enough to catch the botter in action, they were banned asap. So I dunno, believe what you want about the actions they take but it does seem like they try and its just hard to get everyone in one sweeping action or however often they do it, but yes some people never get caught because they either fly low enough under the radar or the routine sweep of botters didnt get em.
My point is, ever since Cata was announced, you've done nothing but complain about Blizzard, how they are evil, how they ruin the game, how they screw over people like you by giving out re-skins of the rare mounts that you got without ninjaing.....seriously Aestu, if you hate it this much, and it aggravates you this immensely.....just quit.
You know what? Let me tell you something.
Mature people don't take life, or anything in it, on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. What mature people do, is try to get a better deal, to work with the flawed realities of day-to-day life and try to make them better. That's true in any frame of reference and in any walk of life.
Um....yeah they do. You cant win everything down to your liking, I am sure you "took it or left it" at some point in your life and im sure you decided on the take it part before, dont try to come out as some high and mighty person above everyone else, sure mature people try to make the best of everything but you simply cant do that all the time.

Aestu:
I'm not quite sure what your issue is here. From what I've read, what the GM spoke to you said is exactly what Blizzard does with 'bots: they ban thousands of them all at once.
Which, while frustrating, makes perfect sense to me... it would take an inordinate amount of time to prove that a player is 'botting just by observation. An automated system seems to be more economical.
And... call me crazy, but I think you might have sounded just a tiny bit rude in your convo with the GM. I've found that being just a bit polite gets me much better results. Your mileage may vary of course.

So you think you are being mature by creating dozens of threads bashing the game you play? Really? It's a game Aestu, and if you are this disillusioned with it, do what other people who hate the direction Blizzard is going: Quit. The fact that you stop paying them a monthly fee will actually have more of an impact that creating dozens of conspiracy laced threads on a third party website that Blizzard rarely, if ever, looks at.
Gradual improvement, working with shades of grey, requires patience, tenacity, strength of character. Those are difficult virtues to develop, but like any virtues, they ultimately serve to make the world a better place.Too bad whining about things doesn't fall under that.
Edit: By the way, yeah, your conversation with the GM......I don't blame the guy for no assisting you, as pretty much everything you said there is like you are the GM and he's the regular guy. Try dialing back the attitude next time, and you might actually get some real help.

I would just as happily bash the companies that sell me gasoline or electricity or financial services because I think they're *******s too. This is no different, and it's how things gets better: by saying, "The status quo is not good enough."
Except.....you are complaining about it on a third party website forum, that is not seen by the actual Blizzard employees. You want to change things, go post on the actual forums; just tone down the way you post, or you'll probably end up banned again.
Edit: By the way, yeah, your conversation with the GM......I don't blame the guy for no assisting you, as pretty much everything you said there is like
you are the GM and he's the regular guy.
GMs aren't "regular guys", they live on Cloud Nine, have six wings and a halo. Or they wear spandex jumpsuits and their briefs outside their clothes and change out of street clothes in telephone boxes. You heard it here first.
And you wonder why people don't want to help you.......

So what, I have to kiss this guy's ass to get him to do his job?
"Man, this guy was rude to me, so I'm not going to ban that bot!"
Do you think I'm the only person who's opened a ticket? Do you think any serious organization works that way?
Like I said, people will make any kind of specious rationalization...because, clearly, Blizzard can do no wrong.
This guy has been botting for YEARS on the same characters. It does NOT get actioned.
No you dont have to kiss anyones ass but its clear you came out like a @#$%^&* from the get-go, immediately attacking him because he pretty much asked you to clarify the ticket.

Must be nice to live in your little world Aestu, where being a complete and utter jack ass means you'll get things done.
