Finding the Flyhacking Bots Takeoff Spot, Killing Them, and Getting Them Stuck

Recommended Posts

Despite the numerous banwaves occurring frequently, bots are always a part of WoW. However, those just blatantly cheating on top of being bots are particularly egregious. And so today we have a nice little moment of zen as we take a look at two players that decided to have some fun and farm them in two different ways.

The bots use flyhacking in EPL specifically to avoid other players and mobs so they can safely get to Stratholme, and you can pretty easily spot them in the skies:

But how do they get up there? Well, ReformedWiggles did a bit of investigative journalism and tracked down the bot take-off spot (and their destination)! Why exactly they use the tree there isn't completely clear, but it either helps them get the flyhack going or it helps them avoid Blizzard noticing that they just started flying. You'll have to click on the thread below as the video doesn't seem to want to autoplay.

Now that we know where they take off, let's take a look at a player doing something about it. Pezzed95 decided to become an anti-air tower and headed to the Plaguelands to take care of business, camping that liftoff tree!

And then there's a more elegant solution, as ImNotHard took a different approach and simply got the bots stuck instead, which means no resurrection!

Saw a warlock nuking bots flying, thought I'd show what I'm doing with them when they get to Stratholme (Mindcontrol them to the left of the gate and they get stuck)

Noble endeavors both, and thanks to everyone having some fun messing with bots!

No matter how many bots they get rid of, it won't ever change. They just make new accounts and start the process over again. Using VPNs to circumvent IP bans, making it near impossible to actually stop them.

I don't think it's impossible I just don't think they want to give the effort. Look at how blatantly obvious this is. How is this impossible to detect? There's no way it's impossible to detect.

      Blizzard have detailed additional improvements they've made to the Ashenvale PvP experience, with a focus on everyone getting reputation for killing Lieutenants, mounts coming in at Friendly and the event lasting twice as long.
      Ashenvale (Source)
      The following changes are now live:
      When a character makes any hostile action against an opposing faction Lieutenant (e.g. Keepers of the Grove, Blademasters) or faction leader in the various objective areas, they will receive reputation when that enemy dies. It must be an offensive action (harmful spell, harmful ability, melee attack, or ranged attack) against an enemy to receive reputation. This also affects Healers who must use an offensive actions against the Lieutenant or faction leader. Characters will receive reputation even if they are dead or no longer nearby as long as they are still in the zone when the enemy dies. Characters will receive 200 reputation for killing a Lieutenant and all members of the winning faction will receive 200 reputation when the faction leader dies. The winning team will also receive 100 reputation per friendly Lieutenant remaining. Example: If there are two Lieutenants alive when the battle is won, a character will gain 200 reputation plus whatever was earned from defeating objectives plus the 200 reputation from killing the enemy faction leader (assuming the character used an offensive action against the faction leader). The Trainee’s Sentinel Nightsaber and Trainee’s Outrider Wolf now require Friendly reputation with the Silverwing Sentinels and Warsong Outriders respectively (was Honored). Players now have 60 minutes to complete the Ashenvale PvP event (was 30 minutes).

      A level 25 healing Mage has soloed Deadmines in the Season of Discovery and here's a video of the clear.

      Part of the Ashenvale improvements are here in SoD, with a Gizzby fix on top!
      December 6 (Source)
      Grizzby will no longer rob you of your extra quest items. Ashenvale PvP The lieutenant and general NPCs in the Season of Discovery Ashenvale PvP event now have much higher health. Generals are now immune to damage until all of their lieutenants have been defeated. While no lieutenants are dead, generals and their nearby allies gain 1000% increased damage. The Horde general’s chain lightning will now hit up to 40 targets.

      Blizzard have shared another update on their eternal conflict with bots and unruly players. They have actioned another almost 200,000 accounts this past month! 
      Bans (Source)
      To provide more transparency on the actions we take against cheating and exploitation, here is an accounting of the number of actions that were taken over the last month, November 2023:
      Total Exploitative WoW Account Actions in November 2023: 197455
      All of these actions were for cheating or exploitation, which primarily result in permanent bans or 6-month suspensions. This number does not include other actions such as those taken on accounts with character name or in-game language violations. We continue to evolve our methods and act against these malicious accounts on a daily basis.

      The very controversial topic of the group finder ever being added to Classic Era/Season of Discovery never really dies, as players just do not see eye to eye on it. Well, however you may feel about it, it does in fact exist in Classic, it's just not functional (yet?). MrGM dug it up and got it to show using a console command, but obviously it's not functional:
