Bot programs are everywhere...like WoW Glider - Image 1A few players over at the Europe World of Warcraft Forums have been keen to sense players who look suspiciously like bots. They walk aimlessly around the map, only attacking enemies the bot program "sees". So Preistingo was getting curious as to what options he had once he was absolutely sure he has a bot in his cross-hairs.

There are a lot of World of Warcraft players who have pretty nasty ideas for suspicious characters, who are claimed to be mostly Hunters and Rogues. But Blizzard Community manager">Vaneras, a Blizzard representative, says the age-old Game Master notification is your number one option. In fact, it's probably the only right thing to do, according to him.

Thudgot has reassured people that even if there has been little results to the reports that players send in, the reports themselves help Blizzard in their case against botters. But many are still unsatisfied with the slow, if not lack of, action being made against botters.

What people need to know is that almost every MMO game out there has one or two bot programs. There will also be botters, because there will always be someone who thinks they can play easy things even easier. We know that the reports are the lamest way to get rid of botters, but they do work.

It's like the wheel of the law, you know. It's slow, but hey, it does turn.
