Wow Bots - Take ur pick...
There was only ever 3 working bot vers in WoW.
- Glider - which is long gone since many years ago, stamped out by blizzard and the game warden.
- The new sgather bot - which blizz well aware of, and what they will do is a giant mass bannination of 5-10K accounts as always, then game warden will stomp that one
- The BG bot - which most don't care about so it surfaces often. The real PVP gear comes from arena, not BG's.
They "exist" yes. But lets compare.
Wow: I've never seen a bot myself in 5 years.
SRO: Grinding in a cave every day next to 4 bots.
But in the bigger picture, something gets done about it. Thats the real point. You can't click an ingame GM icon in SRO and write a mail to a game master and have a botter banned the same day. You never will have those levels of support in a Korean, F2P game. And I dont think joymax would do it because they'd lose money in that arrangement.
Outside of that, theres little gain by botting in WoW. The good equipment doesn't drop from quest mobs. The gear that is tradable is extremely rare and not as good regardless. WoW doesn't have "skill points" to bot like SRO does. And getting 80-85 takes 3 days.
In short, botting won't make your char stronger in wow. Neither will buying gold. Only effort. You can ebay to become stronger, so long as nobody clicks the ingame GM icon and reports you for it, thus getting the account banned after spending all that money.
Not to be confused, I am not comparing the "games" themself or the play value of these games. I'm bored right now in wow with the new xpac, because I decided to not raid 4hrsx4days a week so theres nothing for me to do. I've been playing D2.
Simply that one of them is ran by a real company that actually cares. If JM cared about the issue and fixed it, more people like me would play it.
