only encountered one pw this season that i knew was a bot, and it was in wild. i got it to one, then passed every turn to observe its behavior.
it made the same decisions each turn: played the card it drew, pinged a minion with taunt (finley into fireblast), then passed. it never attacked because i had a taunt, and it never conceded. a real player would have conceded much sooner. eventually i had to put the bastard out of its misery to play around double mortal strike, but i reported the account to blizzard afterwards.
Holy shit, wild casual is full of pirate warrior bots. I think 70% of my opponents are bots, and not just because they are retarded pirate warriors. How to I report?
edit: last 10 opponents were pirate warrior, 3 different people, 2 were for sure bots with set timing on playing cards and attacking with them.
If you get 1 pack a day just from setting up a bot its already good. Like think about it. 7 days = 7 packs. Its not nothing. Obviously you can get much more packs by farming arena but not everyone likes arena. For instance i dont because its so fuckign random bullshit that i just cant stand it.
I believe i'm playing against a bot right now. Rank 3 wild. I played a tinkerflame. He had patches, southsea deckhand, war axe and corsair on the board. He trades with the war axe and the 3/3 taunt. instead of patches and deckhand. It's rank 3 ffs. Lul
well well.. I don't care. Free win for me:)
It's turn 10. I have 5 minions on the board he has 2 minions, he has6 hp. I have 25. I wonder how long he's gonna play:P

you can get a pack a day regardless with pirate warrior. 30 wins takes what, an hour and a half? if you dont win by turn 6 you concede, and move on. average game should take about 3 minutes
Stupid question. but doesn't people need to be really good with computers to pull this off?
And is it only to farm gold, or is the bot capable of getting you to legend?
I'm not intrested or anything, just trying to figure out why people would do this.
pirate warrior, aggro shaman and secret paladin bots are legend viable because they deck is so straightforward and easy. play the best thing on curve and go face unless there is a taunt.

3 minutes X 30 = 90 so yea its an hour and a half if you win 100% and your games average 3 minutes but more likely you are closer to 50 games which would make it 2 and half hours which would be close to 18 hours a week.
Botting is ridiculously easy in hearthstone because simplistic decks have never been punished with being inferior. If a deck requires nothing but spitting out your cards it probably shouldn't ever be tier 1 let alone the best deck in the game. Unfortunately I think as a community we view hearthstone more as a competitive game than the developers who view it more as a mobile app to play while killing time. ( Who hype competitive tournaments for marketing purposes )
I believe blizzard views botters as low priority since they are less noticeable now meaning less community outrage and I don't believe they view them as lost revenue as they were unlikely to spend much if anything and most mobile games target whales who spend a lot. I could be wrong though and they have been trying hard to manage it but can't come up with solutions.
For me personally the frustration is climbing the ladder is annoying enough because of bad meta's and design and it just feels worse when you come across someone climbing it who isn't even putting in the time or effort by just botting.

I ran into a bot on casual LOL.
i did face a pirate warrior but i dont know if its a bot anyway i was able to defeat it.
I'm playing pirate warrior in wild now. currently rank 4. Always squelsh, and always smorc face.
I played perfectly, and had the most insane curve (had an answer to every play)
Felt like a bot, and had to emote in the end, just so he wouldn't report me:P
