As a player there is nothing more frustrating than knowing there are bots present in your raid and not being able to do anything more permanent about it. Third party software is used to play the game automatically for the purpose of anything from farming materials to participating in raids and battlegrounds.

With a collective sigh, the World of Warcraft community will probably say something along the lines of “it’s about damn time” when they hear they news that Blizzard wants to attack accounts that are guilty of “botting”.
