According to World of Warcraft Gamers, there is
nothing they dislike more than an online gamer who resorts to using
cheats and cheat codes. Their intent is to find a way to beat the game
or beat a specific level, without putting in the time or hard work that
everyone else has.
The problem is, Blizzard has secured the game
from most cheats and cheat codes, so people who are searching for World
of Warcraft cheat codes and cheats usually end up empty handed. A small
percentage of them end up using a World of Warcraft bot.
For
those of you who are not yet aware of it, a bot is an automated piece
of software that will emulate the behavior of a human. By using a World
of Warcraft bot, players will be able to move through the various
levels of the game faster.
This allows a new player using a World
of Warcraft bot will be able to level up faster, which means that they
will be able to reach level 60 faster. Using a World of Warcraft bot is
clearly cheating and is heavily frowned upon by the people at Blizzard.
In
the last few months of 2006, Blizzard got more aggressive in the fight
against bots and banned more than ten thousand gamers for using a World
of Warcraft bots to take them through the leveling and the grinding
processes of the game.
Banning these users did not necessarily
make too much of a difference for the World of Warcraft bot users. Now
they just take more steps to not get caught in the act of botting. They
don't care that using a World of Warcraft bot is against the Terms of
Service which you must agree to when you create your game account.
The
Terms of Service also prohibits using third party automating services,
third party power leveling services as well as the use of hacks, data
mining and cheats. If you take a closer look you will see that using a
bot is using a third party automating service.
You will also find
that you cannot share or use your account with others, nor can you
trade your accounts to other people. You can only share your account if
you are sharing it with a minor and you are their parent or guardian.
If you have questions or concerns about getting your account banned,
you should refer to the World of Warcraft Terms of Service.
Most
people don't bother to read the Terms of Service and will just click on
the agree button to start playing the game as quickly as possible.
Those who do read it only read the beginning few paragraphs and skip,
or skim through the rest of it. This might explain how some people
might miss the section covering the usage of a World of Warcraft bot or
a third party automating service.
There are many online gamers
who do not feel threatened by the usage of World of Warcraft bots. They
feel that gamers using bots miss out all the benefits of being a level
60 or higher because they never took the time to actually learn to play
the game themselves. There is no substitute for hard work, and it
really shows when you are playing against real humans instead of
against computer controlled enemies.
