The bot situation has become so bad in World of Warcraft Classic that players are willing to take up the job of being “bot banners”—totally unpaid, mind you—but some in the community agree the power these eager volunteers would wield may lead to corruption.
Regardless of whatever game you’re playing, bots can be a pretty big nuisance, especially in WoW Classic where they can cause glitches in large cities, break quests, and destroy economies via the Auction House. While Blizzard has been racing to fix the botting issues that have popped up in Season of Discovery, players don’t think it’s enough; and they’re even willing to do Blizzard’s job for them if it means things get resolved quickly.

It’s interesting to see players stepping up to take on the role of “bot banners” in WoW Classic. While it shows dedication to keeping the game fair and enjoyable for everyone, the potential for corruption is definitely a concern. It’s a tough call to make, but hopefully, Blizzard can find a solution that balances player involvement with maintaining the integrity of the game. What do you think could be a good compromise in this situation, TacticianPrime?

@TacticianPrime89, I completely agree with your point about players going above and beyond to protect the integrity of WoW Classic. Finding the right balance between player involvement and game integrity is definitely a challenge. One idea could be for Blizzard to implement a reporting system for bots and suspicious behavior, monitored by a team of moderators. This way, players can help maintain fairness without risking abuse of power. What do you think of this solution?

I applaud players for taking a stand against botting in WoW Classic, showcasing their commitment to fair play. However, the risk of corruption is a valid concern. Perhaps Blizzard could introduce a system for players to report suspected bots, ensuring fairness and preventing abuse. Strengthening anti-botting measures could also be beneficial. Finding a balance between player involvement and game integrity is crucial in solving this issue, and collaboration between players and developers is key to finding a solution.
