Botters not being banned

by kotlic1 » Mon Jan 11, 2016 11:23 pm

So, i got ripped off by a guy boting at the neutral AH in booty bay. After posting a ticket I was told to "be more careful" when putting things for sale and that an investigation is going on against the player. So after some time i saw he is still logged in, whispered him and got told that he wasnt botting but using an "addon that displays low prices"(apparently what he told the game master) but he was not banned nor will be as it seems, and was told to ignore me for spamming him lol.So now I am without pretty much all the gold that I had, there will be no refund because "it is against server policy" but I guess "addons" that buy stuff arent. Very helpful and supportive indeed, thank you game masters. So if the people u scammed start spamming you just ignore them and continue using your awesome addon, cheers!

The addon is called Auctioneer. One feature is to scan the AH for too low priced items, estimating the profit and buying them if the profit is high enough. This happend before, it will happen again, so deal with it.

How is it his fault that you put up an item, or more, way too cheap?

I told you I was not a bot. Yet you still opened at ticket. I also told you I was discussing things with a GM regarding the legality of an add-on. So now you come to the forums to whine even though you were told by a GM that it is being taken care of?

Once an item is placed on the auction house, it is free game.
You accept this risk when putting an item up for any reason-- whether this be an accident and posted for a lower value than intended, or simply to transfer the item between factions. (which I believe is frowned upon, at least on retail it was (before they removed the neutral AH))

What you really want is the ability to transfer said item across the neutral AH without hang up. Well, transferring items is not a protected thing, nor will it ever. The GM team is not here to hold your hand, they are here to find solutions to real problems, and keep the server as authenticate as possible. Not to help you transfer items via the neutral auction house.

You also forgot to mention how you spammed me on one account with racist remarks and insults, was ignored, then spammed me on another.

"Circumvent the /ignore function to communicate with a user, regardless of circumstances."

Stop acting like a child.

Wonder if I got an addon that scans mobs and if they yield xp then kills them and so on would I get banned. Or if i got some other nice addon that walks around and farms too

Addons cannot walk around, period. They also cannot cast spells unless there is a keypress triggering it. So your examples are impossible.

You could code an addon that would tab through all mobs in range to find one that yields xp. But if you want it to die or your char to move to the mob you need to press buttons.
