Probably. Naming and Shaming is punished ruthlessly by mods…

SS you are completely racist against bots. Bots can be far superior to people. They can learn tactics, teamwork, and social interaction; all it requires is superior programming. I wish WG would put bots in the game to fill up slots on both teams.

The best part about bots: They will never mention WR/WN7.

According to the developers, when asked the same question on the Tank Leader forum:

“Actually it isn’t. It’s because the bot doesn’t perform like an actual good player would, it plays to get the maximum amount of XP, which is just rush in, fire a couple of shots, leave battle, queue another tank and do the entire thing again. If you’d do that on anything beyond tier 4-5 on a standard account, TL would burn through your credits like no-ones business and it’d effectively prevent itself from running since it can’t repair and restock tanks when it runs out of credits. That’s why we made the decision to require premium accounts, so that doesn’t happen and you can actually have TL run for a very long time without burning through your credits; the bot is made to make credits and XP after all, not to lose them. Reason why gold is also acceptable is because the game doesn’t differentiate between the two, so neither can we.”

I don’t suppose it harms in terms of making WG think twice about take serious action against large numbers of botters.

Bots have been around since i started playing some 2 years ago now … they always have been, i could care less if they are i just think its bullshit that WG has to hide it and lie to the community about it. and actively say they are doing something when they obviously aren’t and just don’t give 2 shits.

about crew grinding it is just going to be sloooow as fuck to grind the crew with 400-600xp on a win and 100 the most on defeats…..
and also if he want to play the game with 5 skills why dont he starts with a crew from a tier 6 and up???
my td crew has 5 skills and it is grinded from tier 5 up to tier 9(i have stop on tier 9 and have many battles)
also dont forget if he actually gonna play that account when they see him as a pure red noob with 8k-10k battles and dont even bother covering cause people know that these guys are just gonna suck or they bots (xvm after the simplifing in instalation can be used and abused by tones of players even scrubs have it)

So why not bot matchmaking?
Just flag players who are bots (detected using some system) and group them into the same battles?
WG can make their money and we don’t have to deal with skynet.

On Rush Hours the lags are terrrrible
but yeah you will propably reply eee dude check your IP adreess or the toaster you play in….but in the same time In WT i never have problems with lag issues
these money never go into the game they go into the developing team and propably some peoples from the inside of WG EU cause if they werent people making money out of it they would have been banned from the get go…and no the bot detection system doesnt aquires quantum physics knowlage
and finally
whoo tells you that theeeese bots are better then the avg joe???

Likewise, when the timer clicks down I usually have my camera facing downward and the right mouse button held down so I can observe deployment. Then I’ll often try and centre my gun and hold rmb again, so I can keep my turret forward until something happens, for aesthetic reasons. (After all, what’s the point of getting a pretty tank if you can’t watch it trundle?)

Quite. Seroiusly, I don’t get this attitude of, “I like this game, I play this game BUT I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE TO ITS SURVIVAL OR DEVELOPMENT AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU!” …do they think that the game would still be here if everyone listened to them?

Frankly, with the amount of enjoyment and playtime I’ve gotten out of this game, I’d feel like such a shameful miser if I never bought any gold.
