Some bots support quest profiles, which automatically perform quests (including quest pickup and turn in). This can be done in one of three ways Questing, PvPing, and pure grinding. One of the most popular uses of bots, however, is leveling.

Bots such as Pirox and Honorbuddy even include profiles for all the battlegrounds by default. These farmers automate the process with bots, either to powerlevel characters unattended or to grind mobs continuously for rare drops.īots can also be used for farming honor at the various Battlegrounds. This violates Blizzard's Terms of Use agreement and may get both parties banned, however this is most often not the case as Blizzard has more of an interest in stopping the sellers (not the buyers) of gold trading. These methods are also used by gold farmers, professional Warcraft players who sell in-game gold, loot, or services for real-world money. Items like these have phenomenally low drop rates (roughly 1 in 1500 for the Macaw) and would be almost impossible to farm without a bot. But a lot of botters also farm for rare items which have very low drop rates, such as the Hyacinth Macaw from Stranglethorn Vale. Certain areas in WoW are explored and mapped by botting communities which yield the best rate of gold per hour.

and .īot uses Gold and material farming īots can be used to farm gold, either directly (from gold dropped by mobs), or by proxy (materials that sell for gold). Another way to report any kind of cheating is to send a mail to Evidence such as screenshots and videos can be uploaded to respectively e.g.

You should include the time you have seen them, where you have seen them, and your reasons that you believe that the player is a bot. To do this, right click on a player's portrait, click "Report Player For:", choose "Cheating", fill in detailed information and submit. If you suspect a character is being played by a bot, you are as of patch 4.3.4 encouraged by Blizzard to use the Report Player function.

PvP botters are also seen by many as a great nuisance in battlegrounds due to the disadvantages it brings your team and the boredom in playing against them. Although they may not interrupt you or hamper your current gameplay, botters are considered by some to be a threat to a server due to the excessive farming which can allegedly damage a server's virtual economy, however this is often disputed as there are many examples of economy normalization on servers where there is a heavy presence of gold farmers.
