WoW Forum Suspension...LOL @ Blizzard

[Vicer]

Blizzard is the most screwed up company I've dealt with. I think our government functions better than Blizzard.

I got a 7 day forum ban today with a threat of a perma forum ban.

Note my guild name is probably the best in WoW, which is "PissingBlood".

~~~Here is my actual post~~~
What you are about to read is my story of botting during WoTLK (aka Wrath). I'm writting this in the attemp that Blizzard will update Warden.

My fishing bot was a pixel bot (non memory reading and non memory injection).

I copied some windows API code and then coded the rest of the bot script myself.

It did the following:
~ Equipped fishing pole
~ Equipped lure (had a timer to re-apply lure after X minutes)
~ Cast
~ Screen scrape (find bobber color) - get X,Y corridinates
~ Move mouse to bobber
~ Wait for bobber to go down (script kept checking for pixel color at location X,Y to change, if change then fish bite)
~ Send right click to catch fish
~ Recast

I used random number generation sleep statements throughout all of my code as to not be detected by Warden. I wasn't sure if Warden was checking for user has been performing X action every Y milliseconds.

Needless to say Warden never caught my bot.

Warden just needs to be updated to check various variables.

For example if player position X, Y, or Z are adjusted via memory injection versus mouse or keyboard input then bingo you've found a bot.

Another exmple is if player position X, Y, or Z are adjusted via CTM (Click To Move) via a script and not direct input from the mouse or keyboard then bingo you've found a bot.

If Warden was even advanced to this basic level I would have been busted years ago when I wrote and ran my fishing bot.

They foum banned you because your talking about what you did to break their rules. I dont see whats funny about that, they did what they do lol

Have you never had a job before? You have to do what your employer says to do. In this case, the people who moderate the forums are required to hand out bans that violate the policies of the forum. It does not make them bad people, or a bad company; rather, it makes them a good company for having guidelines set that they actually follow.

I'm not agreeing with the length of the ban, but I do agree with the ban. If you feel that their warden is out of date or useless, just e-mail them with your concerns. No need to bring it up on the forums where no one with access to utilize the information will be able to see it.

You basically admitted to botting on the official forum, pretty much laughing at them because you didn't get caught and somehow are surprised that they'd be quite angry about this?

Its basically like stealing something irl, then a few years later stopping a policeman in the street and saying "Hey man, i stole this a few years back but dont arrest me, its in the past"

[meilleure]

Just reading your first line hurts my brain...

[TheNationGaming]

OP is a idiot and bragged about botting and he was confused why he got banned lol

[Stabsincerity]

You are an idiot, and deserve to be banned.

Really, what did you expect? Sure, they can't get you for botting in-game but they sure got you for talking about botting on the official forum.

[Sarick]

You got off lightly, if I were them I would permanently suspend you from the game.

[CreativeXtent]

Mine is better

[C4RL20N]

Stopped reading after you calling "PissingBlood" the best guildname in WoW. It's the worst ****ing guildname i've ever seen.

[Nyuelol]

OP -> please tell me, it's a joke. *facepalm*

[MylesCore]

so funny i forgot to laugh

i hope this is a joke if not you deserve it.
but
I dont give a ****.

[Dirrrty]

Why would you tell them that? That's like running to the cops after knocking over a bank and telling them, hey mate that bank down the road is crap, I went in with a stocking on my head and a banana in my pocket shouted this is a stick up give me your money and they did!! Stupid bank. Tell them to get an auto screen for next time.

Should have given you perma ban :-) daft bugger!

[Disphotic]

why are you guys feeding the troll?

[lookinboyz]

WoW official forums are shit anyways. Consider yourself lucky that you have a reason to not post in that shithole anymore. MMO-C is a much better place.
