What Does a WoW Bot Look Like

In this video I show y'all what a WoW bot looks like in case you haven't ever seen anyone botting while playing. First off, I want to be clear that I don't support this, it's against the Terms of Service, and will get you banned. It can be educational to know who your competition is though, if someone is using a bot to control the ore market, herb market, or fish market.

On the topic of his casting speed, there are ways you can cast this fast. Set up a keybind to "Interact with Mouseover." Then set up another button for your fishing ability. You can then either just press these two buttons back-to-back or set up a castsequence macro for a button press of the two buttons that these two abilities are set to. Since "interact with mouseover" (the ability that loots the bobber) is not a castable function, you can't actually set it to the castsequence and instead have to set the button presses. Anyways, this is how I fish. I just spam my little castsequence or 1-2 buttons and fish quickly. But my guess is that there are more botters than people who go through this trouble.

How to identify bots:
Low cast time 20ms-80ms. These are set up by the program and adjustable usually.
Do not reply to whispers. I generally report once someone doesn't reply. There are sneaky (and expensive) software suites that have dynamic auto-reply to whispers and even guild messages. People go hardcore with bots.
Don't react to ridiculousness. Transform into a Goren with flaming wings and a growth potion and /dance with them. If they don't "lol," within a minute or two, after everything else, then they probably aren't at their computer. The choice is yours as to whether you want to report or just note whether that person is a botter. Again with this one, some expensive WoW botting programs auto-logout when another player comes within a certain radius of the player, or they /hearth.

The moral is that even good software, with variable cast times etc, is automated and easily identifiable. Blizzard's Warden is always updating and it's not worth losing your account when it's easy to make gold legitimately. Good luck, gold makers!

Hey guys, found this guy while filming for another video today and thought I'd share with y'all a little bit about what I know about #WorldOfWarcraft botting. Enjoy!

that's probably a bot, but not necessarily.
in basically any game when i do fishing i hook up my controller with the vibrate function, then i either shrink the game down as small as possible, or throw it to my 2nd or 3rd screen, then i throw on a movie, tv show, anime... and i push a button on the controller to cast, then when i have a bite it vibrates, i double click to reel in then recast, and wait again for the controller to vibrate. if i don't feel any vibrations for awhile i know the spot is depleted and i pause what im watching and move to the next hole and start again. also, there are some spots in some games where fishing holes respawn relatively quickly, so ill just keep pressing the cast button a couple times a minute until i start getting bites again, then back to waiting for the vibrations. i also do that when i am really into what im watching and don't wanna mess with pausing and switching back and fourth.
i've had people report me in a couple games, and i even got a ban on 1, but i explained what i was doing, and i actually happened to accidentally hit my OBS record key bind the time i had gotten banned for. so i had solid proof that i was doing what i said i was, and that i was not botting.
it's can be a pain dealing with false botting reports, but it is what it is, and there are so many botters that i understand why it happens and don't usually get mad about it

Near the opening of Mists, I saw (and reported) several characters "flying" at level 85 in the Jade forest, mining. They were riding on flying mounts that could be ground mounts at the time, (like the faction flyer, ) and they were running in the air. This was quite annoying when I was leveling on my miner, and I would run to an ore node, only to have a 85 run through the air and steal it from me.

still on the lookout for your garrison guide

I usually watch a movie or something (on the computer) while fishing, so I always minimize WoW to a tiiiny window, just large enough for me to see where to click when I hear the splashing sound. I obviously can't read the chat, and I ignore the people around me (I often have the DND on so people can see that I want to be left alone). I guess a lot of people who see me assume I'm botting then :(

[tyriom]

This is why you only use fishing bots in your Garrison :P

[disfunkshin]

You make some some very valid points. Sometimes I just don't want to talk to people though and sitting somewhere out of the way and watching something with headphones on (to hear the splash) is great. But I suppose if someone whispered me "Im going to report you" I would probably reply with "fuck off lol"

[ravager]

Question: did you even bother to report this person for using a bot?

[mxbcreative]

The fact that you say there isnt alot of botters is bad lol. There is tons. I personally have fishing/archeology bot, Pet battle bot. I dont use them anymore. Cause I PvP most of the time.
