Another bot ban wave

[snackfeat]

Looks like another ban wave for bots just happened.

Unfortunately it's mostly just 6 month bans again. Should botters be punished harder, or is 6 months enough?

[Beet]

Hahah six months again? I love it. First they get their bans revoked now they get a slap on the wrist when they go right back to it. I guess when subs are this low they do what they can.

[Leberman]

1st time should be 6 months. Anything after permanent.

^ this! but you know if they get perma ban, pretty sure they are going to buy another BC and do it again since the BC price is nothing much.

[Aggrophobic]

First time should get your bnet account banned and all games with it. 6 months? What a joke.

[nox597]

I like the one where he says, "banned right in the middle of gameplay not botting at the time bot not even ON"... That's pretty funny XD

[Eleccybubb]

Shame it isn't permanent.

[Demitrix]

You break the rules you pay your dues

I got banned for botting today

[Vexilius]

the one after 6 months is not perma, it's 18 months.

[Pann]

Well that's a surprise what with WoD just being bundled in with the base game.

I think i kinda like the repeated 6 months ban hammer. It saves blizzard the time and effort of banning new cd key's. Wait a minute isn't that a revenew loss since those botters won't be buying new accounts with new sub? hmm.. what are our pro's with only a 6 month ban and what is the cons again?

[Bosen]

Good. It should be longer.

[Deleted]

They can just buy a movie ticket, get a free account and get right back to botting.

[Lady Dragonheart]

Good. Hopefully some of them learn their lesson.

[Torched]

It should be permanent on the first one.

Yeah that's gonna show them ! Especially those who post on bossland forums about their bans

Not really sure what there is to "lul" about cheating certainly didn't decrease in the past years.

[primalmatter]

Should vary on what the bot is doing imo.

PvP or something disruptive to other players long ban if not permanent.

Fishing? Three days or so and a not saying don't do it again.

the one after 6 months is not perma, it's 18 months.

That's pretty damn permanent. Most move on after 1.5 years if they don't end up buying a new account.

[Xeroz]

They should not even get a warning nor 6 months. Perma ban them right away.

It's 18 months of not being able to login the chars on the license. Everything else is still available.
