A huge shadow market has formed around World of Warcraft. Sometimes entrepreneurs automate the process with the help of bots, and those who fight them bring disaster upon themselves
A World of Warcraft Classic fan launched a crusade against bots, but ended up outplaying himself. The champion of WoW purity himself received punishment from Blizzard.
The hero of the story was left without chat/mail for a week. Over the course of a few nights, he managed to complain about ~60 bots encountered in World of Warcraft Classic.
However, he made the “classic” mistake made by some players who are trying to solve the problem with bots — began to try to somehow communicate with them; talk about sending a complaint, etc., thereby giving yourself away.
As a result, complaints began to be received against him (from bots who learned about his existence), and the Blizzard system responded – the fighter against bots received a block.
