Doesn't sound like it'd be any issue, they're going for things actually intended to be bots, rather than just stuff that controls how your keyboard buttons work, so unless you're using a WoW-orientated botting program to change your keyboard layout, there's unlikely to be much problem there :-) >Oh well. I hope theyre going for the pvp bots next time. Until then I >will enjoy the bot trains attacking just one player in the BGs. :) Well it was one of the bigger pvp bots this time (doing a whole load of other stuff too by what I'm reading), hopefully it'll help a bit. Wonder if there'll be slightly fewer bots hanging out in various instances now... will also be interesting to see if it affects the AH market much,, wouldn't mind if mat prices went up a little to make them more worth selling! Going by the tantrums on the official forum the raid leader of one of the larger guilds on Draenor got done... it's a bit tough luck on the guildies who have to rebuild now but I've no sympathy at all for the cheaters, and those who've lost guildies would do well to point the finger of blame in the right place.
