    Easy way to report the bots?

    Hey, I've been looking around, haven't found a good answer. Is there any smooth way to report all the tons and tons of bots that exist in Hearthstone. It's legit 25% of all games and while it might be a free win, I don't care about wins, I care about fun and it's not fun at all.

    It's seems far to inconvinient to report these guys that should all be banned, am I missing something simple?

    If you mean in-game, no. Yes, I know it's ridiculous.

    No Hearthstone section for "How to report".

    https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/14726

    Has only emailing them as the solution.

    Why? Who knows.

    No matter the topic, someone will find a way to redirect it to complain about their current aggro.

    For hearthstone, unless they added something in the last few months, no you can't.


    Which I did check, and the website has updated since then.
    So now, yes, you can. It seems like it was about 4 months ago.

    Which this post is nearly 8 months old.

    Well...maybe not all bots...sometimes I like to install Hearthstone and lose a bunch of games on purpose just because I was so annoyed by having to play it for the mount in WoW. Sorry about that...

    No, you couldn't

    At the time I posted, the article said that you have to email Blizzard to report.

    It's fine to bump the thread to point out it was updated since the original thread, especially since this is a quiet section, but it's pretty well documented when it was added which was well after this thread.

    Because Blizzard is so well known to keep their support articles well updated

    Anyways it seems like I should start taking videos of random shit that is added to the game and buy a few hundred TBs worth of memory so I can prove to a mod that doesn't even bother opening the client to check something that I am correct yeah no. Fuck that.

    Also... Out of Cards? THE SITE YOU RUN, WITH A ARTICLE YOU POSTED? Get out of here man.

    I have no idea what you're on about.

    Hearthpwn is the MMO-C version for Hearthstone. I do not write articles for any site. This genuinely seems like you're just initiating to start hostilities. Blizzard is good at keeping their support site up to date, yes.

    There's also multiple other sites about it.

Now we can all work together to make sure the tavern is a safe and inviting place for everybody to play!
    That patch notes post is from the August 30th update. I don't know why you're so insistent on this, but I don't think you can really disagree with the patch notes for the game. I did start up the game I posted that post, just for the record.
