Well, i hope they're reading our posts, yea...
How many of those bitching there are also botters who had the luck of not getting caught?
I'm kinda sad, i admit, for seeing m account locked. 8 years account without never having being banned for any reason at all.
Used bot since 1.5yrs just to do archeology and recently catch some lunkers.
So yea, i'm getting a 6 month ban (hopefully it's only 6 months, cause the appeal e-mail said it was permanent, so now i don't really know), because of some god damm fish. Great!
But yea, i knew what i was doing was wrong and there was a chance i could get caught. Ok, chapter closed, find something else to do, and if by November i can still care anything at all about WoW i might come back... or not. 6 month is a long time and i'm going to loose the train... Not looking foward to get back to the game with LFR item lvl gear...
Looking back i think "damm, it was only a few fish.. i wasn't really profitting from it, i wasn't making any1 life's miserable..." I don't even want to know how those who used a simple milling bot are feeling right now. But also, i think "ok, so i'm banned, but heck, i don't feel THAT bad for being banned for not wanting to sit 1hr in front of the pc clicking my mouse every 15secs to catch 5 lunkers.... (yes, because that's how long it took me in average to catch 5 lunkers with 1000+ fishing skill)... I never used it for raiding, nor pvp'ing, not even for the garrison-shit-thingy...
Still, what irkes me most is that i created a start level account (or whatever is called), just to see if i could talk in-game to a GM (cause i'm really bothered about getting automated msgs from tickets... least i can ask is talk to a human being...) (ironic to say that Blizz bans ppl for botting, but are using "bots" to reply to ppl). I ran to Darnassus just to check something for myself and BAM... there it was.
Trade chat in the day right after the ban:
- gold sellers
- battlegrounds and raid boosters (selling the boost for real money)
- CM boosters (also selling for real money)
They were there the day before i got banned, and they're still there. They spamm the chat 24/7 with that bullshit for months on end now, and yet i'm the one banned from botting for some fish... And they do it in the main chat of the game where EVERYBODY can see it...
Kinda revolting...
