WoW forums


I have evidence that a character named MichaelPhelps has been farming gold. I also have proof that he is doing this in China. He's been doing it for about a week and clearly intends to keep doing it. Can anything be done to stop him?

Update After relay 1:
It seems some folks have reported seeing him with 3 other characters, farming gold as a team. It is suspected that they're botting, as they all move back and forth along the same path.

Update After number 7:
As indicated earlier, the character MichaelPhelps has now been witnessed Ninja-Looting gold, getting to it 0.01 seconds faster than the intended recipient. Just one more crime to add to his list of heinous offenses.

Final Update 8/8 full TierPhelps set:
Your inaction has allowed MichaelPhelps to have more gold than anyone. After all that gold he farmed from China... he'll probably wind up with a MIllion dollars... I have it on good authority he'll be dealing with another character named Speedo to get paid.


ahahahaha

We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges.

Check out a response to it:

U have no idea how big this industry is man, ive researched it for a social studies paper, there are whole offices of people in china or korea who are paid to play WoW on WoW-europe and WoW-US.
The have multiple farmers on every realm running non stop and then people actually paying them to lvl characters for them, then the character the person gets usually stays fine but main thing is the character was botted to lvl 70 as a gold famer.

And its not confined to WoW, every MMO and online game that has a currency of any type, even free games in infested with the farmbots.

Judging from what i learned, they make BIG money every year, most of the capital is on WoW and FF11, but with WOTLK, AoC and Warhammer on the popular game list, now they will earn even more.

Gold farmers wont be stopped anytime soon ill tell you that, the online games industry is far to big for them to ignore.
If you se a bot, ticket a GM ingame and they will ban the bot.

I stand my record of 27 bots discovered and banned, and i stand by my record, DIE BOTTERS!!!!
