I think its anoying too, but reporting people? comone.... I expect more that this from you.
It is not only anoying its pretty stupid, if i threaten with start reporting, maybe they can start listening? If they keep doing it, theres no need for reporting, they will get banned eventually.
Silent reports are way more anoying, if they at least know that if they keep doing that someone will report them ASAP, they might think twice about doing it.
I dont care if they get banned, I am sure they feel immune to bans by the rate they are posting stuff, a little slap never did hurt anyone.
Regardless, I have been botting my main account for the last 4 years and have gone to pretty big lengths to keep it safe, having those "kids" ruining the whole thing and drawing attention back to bots by massively and mindlessly screwing everyone else just feels like they are spitting on the face of the rest of us, thus, they deserve no respect what so ever, and should be shot on sight. Now tell me, how would you feel if I put a keylogger on the relogger I am going to release, and deleted all your chars? Thus sabotaging your in-game eforts? Pretty bad I am sure, mad even, now, screwing up the AH for everyone can be way worse for some people, but for me is the rep, I have many friends who also play the game, and they dont mind that I bot, god, they even help me a ton lot of times, but screwing up the AH for them is something I would never do, cause I would (in a way) be betraying their trust. Specially when you can easily sell stuff to private buyers. Yesterday I made 10k, the day before I made 7k and the day before that another 7k (single account), and I didnt flood the AH, why would others do it?
I am glad I dont bot for a living but just for fun or else I would be far more pissed. Well not as much as if I had to manually farm anyways xD
PS: I think I am allowed to take the game seriously when I spend more than 2 hours a day in it or working on stuff for it. Thank you very much
