    Gold sellers infesting the game with bots

    Almost every Dwarf and Troll hunter I meet are bots, once they get to 60 they're off to bot Living/Air/Earth essences for gold.

    It's a serious infestation, like legitimately more than 95% of the hunters of said races you meet in the wild are bots. Is blizz even doing anything to these?

    Welcome to that "Read deal vanilla Feel", my one question is... IS Susanexpress up and running? Cause that would just be icing on the cake.

    This was normal in vanilla and moving into TBC like our friend above said. You will see them more later in battlegrounds too as abandoned accounts are compromised and paid for with stolen credit card details.

    Hey now, Blizzard stole their racket on retail. They gotta make a living somehow.

    say you have a million players and 5% of that is bots. And you just fired 800 staff. There just ain't any way to actually *do* something about it, short of potentially illegal countermeasures that violate various countries' privacy laws.

    But yes, welcome to real vanilla feel. It was infested by bots as well and Blizzard didn't do anything. Many places were botted so much that mobs didn't have time to respawn, one of heavily farmed spots was beach in Azshara. Blizzard didn't bother dealing bots in vanilla and they still don't in Classic.
    not sure, I started in TBC, but I remember Susanexpress then, so if it's not an original Vanilla Gold seller, it's the closest one that I know of.
