An update on how things are going in the fight against bots, after their post a few weeks back.
Quote from BlizzardSince last month’s update, we’ve actioned nearly 642,000 additional accounts for botting. That is in addition to the bans we levied against players using cheating software to play illegal cards in Twist mode early in this season. We’ll continue regularly punishing these bad actors to make our Tavern a better place for all our real players.
Honestly, who really cares about bots when the balance in this game ( looking at you, Reno) is just so atrocious.
642,000.
That's not the amount of bots they've banned ever, or since they started this much more aggressive approach to botting. This is one month of botting. That is ridiculous. Hopefully these aggressive ban waves are discouraging botters, but judging from the numbers each time they do these updates, for each bot they ban two more sprout in its wake.
With the bots being represented by Astral Automaton I just imagine that they botters just get stronger each time they get banned, proclaiming, "My power is as infinite as the stars!"
Each botter had over 100,000 accounts, so they banned a total of 6 players!
