Meta This sub is getting brigaded by Bot posts.

0 Upvotes

Now bots exist in the game, don't get me wrong. But recently I've been looking at the profiles of the "look at these bots in anniversary!" post OP's, and many times they have no other posts or comments in the subreddit.

Who's doing this? I don't know. Mods should look into it. Out of over a dozen posts I saw this week, barely five were made by actual users of the community. It's possible it's from pserver people who never intended to play the game, and just fearmonger.

All I know is it's in bad faith and mods need to step up. Bots are bad, but it's getting overblown.

This is /u/meinboesesich's only post in the subreddit, ever. Not so organic.

Golden Pearl Market Exposes Blizzard's Defeat in the War on Bots

I'm convinced these people don't even play the game. This is insane hyperbole.

He has 2 posts in the subreddit and one is from 5 years ago, no comments

Armory drama is always peak cinema
 in  r/classicwow  Dec 18 '24

do this with "dungeon gear" in brd and see how it turns out

if that's where endgame begins, is ST okay? needing offspec on zf? slippery slope

Armory drama is always peak cinema
 in  r/classicwow  Dec 18 '24

today a tank pulled and wiped the trash after flamelash in brd because I took too long to roll on the 0.28% epic headpiece. I was making sure to not do a ninja roll and was seeing who wanted it. 

 He started shit in party about the wipe being my fault and for once, I was one of those monkeys, entertaining the other 3 party members. I de escalated things because I didn't want this mostly competent save princess group to implode over a wipe...but man I REALLY wanted to call him out and make it cinema. 

Dude. You pulled without your best dps being there and blame it on that dps for being in the other room. You're a moron.

It sounds like he requested a fast way to level, so that's the play style he desires and mentioned a bis shaman in 2019. Not to be told to level slowly by AndyGPT 😂

That first MC Hypeee!!!! Something about this instance which is exciting every single time you go into it again.
 in  r/classicwow  Dec 18 '24

The best analogy of purgatory is being forced to do the weekly guild MC into phase 2 in order to stay competitive on DKP. 

mc/bwl farm is such a commitment akin to a weekly family gathering. only saving grace is if you really like the guys in your guild.

Wich classes (fresh) make best use of dualspec?
 in  r/wowclassic  Dec 17 '24

For mage dualspec is incredible - single target dps/pvp and aoe being separate. No more crappy jack of all trades builds

A full rewatch of the pre netflix seasons has paired perfectly with this fresh. I'm on season 7 and in my mid 50's now

Is becoming Armorsmith even worth it?
 in  r/classicwow  Dec 17 '24

This is why I don't even bother with tailoring. Wow, robe of the archmage! ...that I need to farm for. And that's basically it.

Only saving grace is mooncloth cd but even then it's worse than alch transmutes or ltw refined salt.

I guess it's useful if you're a roleplayer sitting in crossroads making bags for people

I'm seeing more female dwarf representation out here this fresh. I'm getting the itch to make my own...

I feel like RP players are like the refugees of Fresh. Wholesome, harmless, yet still a little jarring when spotted in the wild (no shade) lol

I'd love a level-headed roleplay guild for ally nightslayer 

I'm thinking of starting one myself, but I'm taking a 2 week break over the holidays. 

If it's jan 2025 and you guys didn't find one, give me a hollar

How punishing is classic progression for future raids?
 in  r/classicwow  Dec 17 '24

You don't need full BIS for blackwing lair but not going for a single raid epic and expecting to get into a BWL raid is lunacy.  You won't pull your weight because that raid is tuned for 40 people in MC epics and whatever prebis blues remain.  

Your best bet is waiting until ZG and AQ20 come out as a gearing alternative.

How bad is the gambling on pvp realm
 in  r/classicwow  Dec 17 '24

Not nearly as bad as pve purists spread fear about on this sub (I'm nightslayer). 

Outside of HOTSPOTS: STV, blackrock mountain, hillsbrad, it's surprisingly peaceful. Honor will influence things but it won't be as bad as 2019 phase 2

I've never experienced this in blizzard classic. Never got corpse camped, even.

Private severs are a different story

If this youtuber had been a "paranoid freak," he wouldnt be in this situation. 

Terrible, ignorant comment.
