This is tin foil hat fake news. It’s all so dimensional. Yes there are some bots on servers… op’s self appointed mission is odd… like being this blizzard version of blade runner is obviously attempt at building a personality and community online. Self appointed wow cops… ok op. If that’s how you want to spend your time, but don’t sit here and try to make it look like you’re enjoying yourself or doing anything besides spitting in the wind.
Not everyone has the free time to spend 1-2 hours hunting and killing bots and or the desire to do so. Alot of people may only have a few hours after work to play and they most likely don't want to spend it this way. This is a problem that needs to be addressed further by blizz otherwise it's all for naught. This is not the job of the player, this is the job of the people who we give our money to in order to have a fun experience within their game. The intention is nice tho. As someone who really enjoys going out into the world and farming and then to find a nice drop or reap the rewards of the grind, bots kill the economy in a way where my efforts basically have no value. I wish it wasn't this way.
It is difficult for us to find bots on Soulseeker. We've killed so many of them, that its not profitable for them to run on HC. We are dealing with the fishbots as we speak. HC will be bot-free soon...
@@GrancapitanWoWclassicHC Awesome work! I absolutely loved playing Holy Paladins back in the day, so seeing one pull off the ballsiest BS I've ever seen is top notch!
most experienced botters oversee their bots. Those that bot while sleeping or so lose their bots due to bans pretty quickly and they have to pay for new proxies, new subscriptions and such. It is not really profitable, maybe for those low level fishbots. Anyway for those that have to overlook their bots are practically working for 10 hours a day and still get pretty low profit compared to regular job. I think what will happen next is that hunters from that leaderboard will be pulled by bot software and whenever bots encounter these players, it will deactivate bots. I think bothunter names should be hidden to public to make patching this harder for devs of GMR and other prominent botting tools.
I don't play classic WoW and I am not a fan of hardcore games but I love the way this community is trying to self-regulate. Lovely video, thanks for posting!
Stitches is also running low on bots - more now than ever. Got like 4 on my watchlist but they haven't been very active this weekend and 2 of them are opposite faction. There are still 6 stockade bots and 10+ scarlet monastery bots too.
I know ur not a native english speaker but you have such a way with words it always makes me laugh. The disdain is palpable 😆Big fan, you inspired me to check out the hunter and fishing bots in Tanaris on my server and they were operating just like in your videos. Too bad I'm not on a hardcore realm and they can just run back as a spirit, but I try to report as many as possible and when counting the blizz mails in my box it seems like they maybe are starting to take it more seriously.
Indeed, tribute to how hunter is OP for solo content, also bot scripts seems to be decent enough (these bots are much more competent than bots few years back).
love the new website, been going through some of the videos there and love how dedicated everyone is. Bigups to everyone who didn't get mentioned here!
The prize is your time putting effort into making videos and content. Keep up the hard work because I think you really have something going! Please don’t worry about giving cash to your viewers. 👊
No. The names are important as an inspiration for encouragement. This should motivate so many players that it wouldn't even make sense to start botting
can use slightly different names maybe or different nicks, i agree that its a good feature :) and players shall be commended just wanted to point this possibility out
Stupid question but aren't mobs resetting at some point? How are you able to kite the mobs on such long distance? PS : I don't play wow anymore but I hate bots.. So keep up the good work guys gg!
You guys can just replicate what we do on EU side. The bots are farming the same locations. Just take a look at the clips from the website and check the same spots on all layers on Doomhowl.
Amazing work. I'd like to make an honorable mention to Thor (PirateSoftware). He uploaded a short on his channel of a bot, explaining how it works and then had a GM ban the bot on stream.
Hot take: Supervised "bots" are not botting, it's automation. That's the same as using macro's. I understand you don't like it, but if there's a person on the other side of the character it's not botting. If the player is "supervising" 50 character's it's still not botting. It's important to define what botting is and isn't. You can't make rules against results, only against actions. If you don't like the results, but their not breaking the rules then change the rules or do what you are doing. Thank you for trying to keep the game fun.
I must disagree with you. If someone is able to supervise 50 characters playing on their own. I will classify that as botting, cheating or whatever you wanna call it.
Priests: MC'ing a humanoid that can cast and casting on the bot/pet causes them to be in combat, drop the MC, fear and run the opposite direction. (I've only tried with skull splitters thus far.)
Saw 3 on the beach around the lighthouse in Westfall farming crabs 2 days ago on Soulseeker. They are low level, but if you're bored, you can always reck them early there :)
@@Madskillzzhc I'll write the names down in the future. Btw You should make a video on how to kill bots with different classes. This community is growing. If everyone knew how to kill bots with their own class...bye bye bots. Make a 50g reward for first kill by each class that hasn't killed a bot yet :)
I've added you to my friendslist, Madz! The urge to whisper you ingame and say hi is real. But I will behave myself. I want you to know that I'm keeping my eyes open for these sussy bots. We'll do what wow gms can't do anymore and make Azeroth ours again!
I remember Swifty doing giveaways constantly to people. I think you can just throw all the names of people who submitted clips in a hat or on a spinning wheel website and chose the winner. It wouldn't be considered real money trading since someone isn't guaranteed to get something from it by submitting clips. I would go with products/Amazon gift cards, not directly money.
I'm confused where does the $6k figure come from? Its not like they have to buy a new game or sub if their character dies, they just make another on the same account. What am I missing team?
Back on the day I used glider bot. It would stealth as soon as it saw another player. It worked very well and would even mount ride to a fly point and execute another set of way points in another area. It was shut down years ago but sounds like someone else got the code
Bots make irlmoney for people which is illegal dont see how blizzard would ban someone for cleaning up their servers from bots. Bots destroy the game tbh.
I seen some sus hunters in Barrens (Horde), so you likely got rid of higher lvl ones and they are in process or relvling (I'm also on Soulseeker) That being said, idk if you seen last PirateSoftware's clip of him getting a lv 60 bot banned, but have you guys been checking that cave from the clip (I believe it's somewhere in Winterspring) for bots on Soulseeker? Also, I do think, for the fish bots, sharing a list of names to mass report would be a good idea (even with proof-clips to show that they are actually bots)
I saw that clip today actually! That bot was both jumping and taking aggro with pet so the bot could run through and mine a rich thorium vein. Impressive scripting tbh.
Bro you're single handedly creating a new game mode inside a game system.
I don't even play Classic HC, but watching your videos motivates me to want to create a character and help hunt down bots.
ull Die 😢
@@olszynasajje6835 all a part of the experience.
100%
I joined back on HC this weekend for the same reason haha

The more people in the community that do this, the more the market regulates itself, if it becomes too expensive to replace bots on HC theyll move on

Just the gold price will rise up
the pyron kill was smooth velvet. thats crazy. huge respect to capitan for pulling it off
Thanks 😀

Wow! The creativity with these is getting impressive. Watching these clips never gets old, so cool.
I love how this has all progressed after the slight bump in the road. Keep up the good work everyone.
we all need a friend like skorpid
Bot hunting. The real meat of the game in warcraft anymore..
Keep up the good work, sir!
Aesome work, keep it up. Reached 38 on my rogue! Can't wait to join the party!
Who wouuld have thought, that bots on hardcore are going to bring us the best content I saw in months mby years
Hi ! I came after the video made by "KOMBO" a french youtuber! Just to say you are a hero !
I’m so glad to see you didn’t give up. You’ve got quite a community supporting your work!
Whatever clown that thought laying down threats was a good idea sparked a movement
its the Streisand effect in action. They tried to silence him and stop him from doing it and ended up bringing it to everyone's attention.
WHEN THE BOTS AHVE TO BE MANULA OVERSEEN i think youre doin a fantastic job

I will say its kind of impressive the bot almost killed the Overmaster. That mob is scary af. Good job killing him, especially on a paladin!
Indeed, tribute to how hunter is OP for solo content, also bot scripts seems to be decent enough (these bots are much more competent than bots few years back).

I remember seeing that fire elemental bot kill shortly after your video attempting it. Ballsy Pally
Could send virtual chocolate chip cookies as a prize ! NOBODY turns down a free cookie.
I would love to see you as GM sooner or later thanks to you and all these people for the hunt. I wish you luck, happy hunting mate
A botter working at scale's worst enemy is FRICTION and this sure as heck is FRICTION
I don't even play but I support this whole-heartedly, keep it up y'all
Awesome work! Love what you're doing.

if you list the most successful bot killers on the website, they can just query that and use in their scripts, cant they?
Yes they need to be hiding names
Very underrated comment.
No. The names are important as an inspiration for encouragement. This should motivate so many players that it wouldn't even make sense to start botting
@@nashi_1111 what are you talking about it is about 22 minutes ago and 5 likes??

Great what you and the community are achieving! (nb: You should look into a cheap Microphone Popper if you want to get rid of the "P" and "B" pops.)
never forget cozy hc
I used to hunt and look for bots, I have not found a bot casually playing through 40-55 zones for a week now. Brilliant stuff !
I didnt even know bot killing was a thing. But now I'm completely invested in it.
These are freaking awesome, you guys rock. 😂
Thanks to your tips we are able alocate and report a lot of bots at anyversary. Thanks for your service.
You single handedly created a bounty hunting mechanic.awesome
Shouting out the homies for doing the lords work is actually so beautiful to see man

@@SebLeng-x7qwow great explanation bro. Could you be anymore enigmatic?
Hunting bots in game is better than any NPC kill I've ever had. What a rush.
the site you made rules! i love seeing the community come together for stuff like this
Bro, we need you on US Doomhowl, and we need you on HC Doomhowl big time. The market is getting blown out from bot's.
You guys can just replicate what we do on EU side. The bots are farming the same locations. Just take a look at the clips from the website and check the same spots on all layers on Doomhowl.
@@Madskillzzhc No no no... you should be the Global Hardcore Cleanup Crew
If paladin sets its vision range to minimum, will it drop aggro faster or is it fixed range no matter your settings?
‘He has great pet control’ proceeded to click pet attack 😂
as a number 1 hater of gold buyer and bots i salute every one of you
Real content here, real player, big heart ❤
Amazing work. I'd like to make an honorable mention to Thor (PirateSoftware). He uploaded a short on his channel of a bot, explaining how it works and then had a GM ban the bot on stream.
Imagine coming back to your bot and seeing that it got killed by Overmaster.
I love that this has been turned into a sport
Awesome work. I wonder if they'll ever adapt to the situation.
Maybe you should leave the fishing bot alone to keep potion affordable? I haven't played in years i assume they are pricy
Truly, you do the work of heroes.
I love this so much. This made me start playing HC. Hunting bots/gold farmers is just the best past time ever.
now we need something that also works on normal servers.
I don't play WoW anymore, yet I visit your site on a daily basis ^^
Mr double bot the bot.
A true life story of a nolifer.
Finding a bot who in shadowmeld somewhere in a big zone is quite impressive!

The word automation... as in robotic automation... it's literally in the definition.
I must disagree with you. If someone is able to supervise 50 characters playing on their own. I will classify that as botting, cheating or whatever you wanna call it.
I got a bot in Hillsbrad the other day. Keep fighting the good fight brother
Can someone please explain how you get the mobs to attack the bots? How do you shift the aggro onto them?
Just joined the community of bot hunting, dwarf pally is hungry!
what´s the song in the backround please ? from the begining till 2:47

Do you have guides on how to do this stuff with different classes?
When they add your names to their scripts you know you are seriously effecting them
Glad to see yall still trolling after watching that video bout the mafia or osmething trying to shut yall down.

It's good that you have that guy scared enough that he has to manually hide every time you zone in. Please keep these guys scared
i knew they werent going to make you eat your own fingers, apparently those threats were empty
top bot kills of the week 😂 amazing content idea
Ty everyone for cleaning up the bots. I'ma start playing again just because of this.
im about to start botting on hc if you keep doing such a good job xD
can the warlocks summon the infernos down and let them go berserk on anyone around them?
You guys should be hired by Blizzard on an hourly rate to kill bots!
I would do it for free. Give me Noclip, invisibility, teleport and banhammer. Then I could keep the HC servers completely clean :D
Pyron… so brave.
Thanks 😀
Can't someone pick a rogue and one shot them? Or are there addons to track stealth rogues?
I'm confused where does the $6k figure come from? Its not like they have to buy a new game or sub if their character dies, they just make another on the same account. What am I missing team?
Badass Paladin.
This is unreal! Players taking the bot problem on

I understand bot hunting, but does it not count as griefing that is a reason to ban?
Bots make irlmoney for people which is illegal dont see how blizzard would ban someone for cleaning up their servers from bots. Bots destroy the game tbh.
Good job everyone who made this 👍
How would I do this as a warrior though?
you can taunt a mob away from the bot and run it through a million other mobs, which will slowly but surely overwhelm the bot
@@dunkelstich Yeah but I mean with fishing bots. Thanks for the advice though. Will definetly try that!
What if every uploaded kill was an entry in a draw for a cash price? Would that be within ToS?
I seen some sus hunters in Barrens (Horde), so you likely got rid of higher lvl ones and they are in process or relvling (I'm also on Soulseeker)

Amazing work
I’m just hoping a guild starts up for killing bots and they make a branch on every server.kinda a fun game and your actions do mean something
Curious why so many bots as I recall hold was not scarce anymore. Are they still selling gold?
Cleaned up or did they advance so you can't detect them anymore?
I wonder if the bot killers are just people that enjoy griefing, but now it's an acceptable target.
Absolute madlad that paladin holy shit haha
