Most often, a bot uses a series of automated macros to control the character in game.Īlthough they may not interrupt you or hamper your current gameplay, botters are considered by some to be a threat to a server due to the excessive farming which can allegedly damage a server's virtual economy, however this is often disputed as there are many examples of economy normalization on servers where there is a heavy presence of gold farmers. Sometimes known as an 'autoplaying game client', this is strictly prohibited by the World of Warcraft Terms of Use Agreement. Also known as AFK gaming, a bot is a method of controlling an in-game character by an automated means that does not require direct interaction from a player.
