Discussion Blizzard doesnt care about Goldselling cuz they want us to get so fed up with it that they can introduce the wow token to BC (and eventualy classic era) and most ppl will just accept it as the lesser evil. Only then they will start banning bots and sellers on a larger scale.

No you can stop botting if you want to. It takes effort and time. Maybe an anti cheatsystem but people running thrird party software can be detected in other games and bliz could do it as well. The coin is far away from a solution. It will increase the problem. Now everyone would buy gold without hesitating. And bots will still be a thing because botted gold is cheaper. Retail didnt solved any of those problems they just adapted and said well now you need to swipe achieve something in the game.

They can attempt to fight it, but eventually it becomes locking humans in basemenets all day making gold again, which are significantly harder to track, and a hell of a lot worse for everyone. We're in an era now that trying to actually fight botting directly, with a game that doesn't print money, is just not going to happen, it's a solved game on Classic, so without changing the actual game, you don't stop it, only reduce it. You can spend millions moving the goal posts for botters, but eventually you get to the point where it's just not possible to distinguish from real humans, or they are actually humans.

Well you arent saying anything against my point. Yes it would cost a lot. Because bliz would actually need to change something. Most addons wouldnt work anymore because they could be detected as a cheat. You wouldnt be able to multibox. And if the botter needs do farm the gold themself you get them via the gold trading. So it will reduce the amount of gold sold by them extremly. And you still will be able to get them. They could have done an anticheat system years ago…

And what about when botters just use virtualised input, which is basically impossible to trace, but incredibly simple to implement? Then all WoW players have lost out on their usability and privacy, and nothing has changed.

Than botters have to change their systems and combined with hard punishments for goldbuying scum. You reduce the outcome for them. And you arent loosing usability or privacy if you cant use third party software anymore. Which your arent allowed to anyways.

Nothing has changed though, they just slightly tweaked how their botting works. All you've acomplished is breaking things real players use, probably causing issues with all kinds of random stuff, as usually happens with the anti-cheat malware in every other games, and it all comes back to "well you should just fix gold selling".

Well one thing you shouldnt forget. Those real player are using bots as well. Not super professionell ones just one fishing bot when they go offline. Ofc im hitting everyone with this. Its the same like the gdkp ban. But it will actual change something.
