Botting in WoW
This comment by Bashiok follows a giant banwave of people botting Archaeology and PvP earlier this week. That's why you shouldn't ***** if you want to keep your WoW account and that's why pointing to any exploit or ***** on our forums will get you banned, hard.

It?s a sophisticated level of monitoring we?re undertaking. No one actively playing in the Battlegrounds normally should be concerned that they?ll be actioned.

Scary :O Hope they're full of shit haha
Any idea if the GM which states this is a US or EU GM? I play EU and noticed that they're much harder on the bans in the US, hoping im lucky again haha ^^

edit; Found the "source" button on mmo-champ, looks like the GM was US, hope the EU ones will continue with they're slacking when it comes to taking on bots lol

i dont think the EU can ban you straight away like they do in the US. i cant remeber why

I guess that sucks if you're actually playing and defending a node only to have no one ever come to try and take it.

Shadowbot and Lazybot runs without injections at all so they are safe and you can kill them

Hmm not so safe after all :S
