I love this, bots are getting into a BETA, exposing all the exploits, so that the devs can patch them so the bots don't fuck up the release. Great job from the idiots once again.

its awesome, glad the beta is happening

First, publicly admit that they have a bot problem.

they should hire 1 gm at launch i bet they will and itll solve it all

Frankly, I don’t think that’s enough. I want Blizzard quest-quality bounties available in all major cities for killing bots. Make seasonal campaigns rewards incentivizing guilds to go scorched earth.

The question is,,,, Why bot always one step ahead??? They like knowing what game is Insider?? Idk

they datamine the game

Wonder if theres a way for them to lvl range the cultivation like they do dungeon ranges

id say just tie it to level brackets. 1-35 anything in early zones. 35+ endgame zones

You know its a beta, right? A beta is exactly for this kinda stuff?

great point per jespersen, glad they are doing it

Weird, i have a tauren. I assumed this let you get an extra herb with herbalism, not flat out gather them without the profession. So this lets them gather without having maxed professions. Whoops

Seems like the easiest fix is to make the buff reset with any stopage

oooo yes i like that. or just make it not work on endgame herbs unless you are lvl 35+

Even if they fix this racial so that isnt possible, the bigger problem is just the bots in general. Blizzard needs to get a handle on the botting problem or they will have yet another mode ruined by them.

@AggrendWoW Hi! Can we expect that bot problem will be solved? Few live GMs activly banning this bots would solve issue

They should only be able to grow herbs that align with their level. You have to be 225 herb to pick Black Lotus if I recall.

I feel like they’ll make the racial have a long cooldown and make it only give silver leaf/peacebloom no matter where you’re at 😬

they have problems with cheaters who paid to play the game btw

This is what the Beta is for. Glad they found it

Kinda like you duplicated Xaryu's background

Glad they exploited it in beta now wow can fix it lmao

There is a huge bug where mobs have a very low aggro range, so you can walk without any problems to high lvl zones.

when i join the beta all i see is chinese players training their bots

Anecdotally, I saw someone /who winterspring and it was populated almost exclusively by Tauren with names in Hanzi. I dunno if there’s a correct solution, but having a supply of cheap black lotus wouldn’t suck. 🤷♂️

Blizzard won't fix anything. 1 bot = 1 sub which is money in their pocket, they dont give a fuuuuck - nevermind they are already botting retail for WoW tokens

well the limit is still level 20 so farming black lotus is useless

Prolly delete Taurens. 🤷♀️

It’s a honeypot for bots

the lvl is capped at 20 atm for mac profs u gotta be 35 so u cant get black lotus atm

Man, what a bummer if this was Live, but thankfully it's Beta. That said... I wonder how proactive the devs will be this time trying to stop the massive community of gold sellers who are going to want in on this.

There’s a vendor that sells black lotus for 50g

It’s a 30 min cool down lol

Good. Clean this shit up before release. The last thing I want is the AH to be ruined straight out the gate.

I was thinking why not have a level range? BLotus maybe 55-60 or higher. Have the herbs be based on your level that you can cultivate. Maybe for other less valuable ones start at 50. Keep within level range of what you can make with alch or actually use at your level.

I mean ppl doing the chest exploit they got rid of for sod so I'ma just assume it's beta and they care more about volume than micro fixing. Bet you there will be a full length novel if changes for launch.

Why would they even bother doing this? Everyone's character is going to be wiped in a couple weeks when beta ends

I love that people exploit the shit out of this. Imagine they did that at launch. This way blizz can fix it

All Chinese names lmao. The jokes write themselves.

What's the racial ability?
