Blizz is doing more to inhibit bots?

[morggue]

So as i have been playing thru the new content and making 1-10 quest orders for all horde races (also almost finished with 10-25!) i havce noticed that blizzard has done alot more to inhibit the use of botting! Atleast for questing they have. I wonder if this an conscious move on their part or if they just so happened to add things our bots cant do! For example if anyone else has played thru or tried making a quest order for the troll starting area there is a completely different quest order for every playable class! so you have to remake a level 1-4 basically for every playable class trolls can have! And i have noticed looking at wowhead that all of the goblin starting quests require getting in and driving vehicles! Another potential problem! Also they have added alot more quest that require using items on mobs as well as things like in troll druid quest chain you have to cast a heal on random mobs around the training grounds! Oh well i hope soon in the future HB will have a workaround for this where we can target then use items on mobs! Until then i will have a quest order for 1-60 for most horde classes and races up shortly after the release of cataclysm. I may post the 1-25 for all races (aside from maybe troll 1-4, yes you will have to take ten minutes to manually do these) prior to cata that way you can get atleast to that point beofre the release! Anyways just thought i would share!

Grats Blizz on making your game "safer" from bots!

Tell me how you make quest orders if hb is down?

Didnt say i have got a chance to test them! All i have done is made the questorders. Still need to make hotspots which wont take any time at all and then test and work out small flaws. Made the one i used before the shattering when honorbuddy was down so i dont see how this is a problem. Play the game, write down the quest order and npc id's, add forcemail list and protected items list add faction id's, and then wait to make hotspots and blackspots. Do you need to have HB working to write code on Notepad? Anyways i just thought the new features blizz has added were interesting that was my main point

Blizz is making the game more fun to play. the machines and those types of things are a LOT of fun. It does have a side effect of pissing off the bot creators though =(

I totally agree! I think the new car feature will be awesome and i enjoyed playing the new troll area as each class specifically has different quest and you learn about why you are what you are!

However it makes for one hell of a time making quest profiles lol! atleast grinding will still be unaffected!

Yes, I think this is just for the entertainment of the players.

Which of the following quests would you rather do?

1) Go fetch some lamb heads from the lambs.
or
2) Drive a car around a cool looking zone and pick people up

How did you manage to make questorder for ALL horde races when it inolves different quests for each class for example troll =) every class first quest is different and must be done

like i said later on i will most likely not release a troll level 1-4! you will have to manually do those! I started to make one for each class and would have loaded them separately but with the new quests where you have to target things and cast heals etc. on them i cannot complete half of them anyways so you will have to do those yourself and start at the guy in the tent just off the training grounds for my profile! And yes this did take a lot of time trying to make one for each class lol

(oh and goblin will not be included due to new car features and whatnot. you will have to play them until level 10 atleast until i can find a way or the HB devs can find a way to make this work!)

It will be easier to level 1-10 by hands then make profiles that can be used by all races in same faction, for example, whatever you race is, you go to Mc Bride (Goldshire) and he will give you quest to start in Sentinel Hills.
And by the way i'm going to level some toons when cata hits, so maybe i'll be able to make some grind profiles with the new IDs like Worgens and Goblins.

we do have some nifty plugin's that could help via questing.. or be written for questing
