Where did they go? The weekend is over and nowhere to be seen. Yesterday I came across them constantly and no nothing at all. They aren't regular players setting up bots for the 100 gold daily. They are new accounts playing basic cards quickly and aggressively to win. Some emoted back but never the correct emote. I would say Hello and they would use the Thank you emote or well played. You could see them hover over cards. Have bots gotten more advanced? All of the usernames were the same and some variation of alphanumerics hj89ri2
I don't see the point though. They level up to sell the accounts? I'm still on the theory that it's Blizzard produced bots as Wild has a low population and to prevent seeing the same opponents again and again and to reduce wait times.
it pretty much is that they bot enough gold to open the first 10 packs of different expansions and get the guaranteed legendaries then sell the acc proclaiming
"Healthstone accound, many lengendalies! buy now and honol youl family!"
They are back. Faced quite a number of them again today in Wild.
I've been testing to see what I can do with them. They do concede if I rope each turn. By turn they concede. If I don't do lethal and keep just adding minions without hitting them they won't concede till they are out of cards.
How much of a market is there to sell low grade accounts?
Play Wild casual and you will come across them. Usernames are always the same mix of letters and numbers that looks more like an inventory number than an actual username.
It still begs the question is who made the bots and why?
Actually, it raises the question. To 'beg the question' is a fallacious argument that a position still subject to debate is already accepted by both parties - ex. 'we can all agree that lowering the corporate tax rate leads to increased wages'

By turn what do they concede? You left out the number. Interested to know that. :-)
Yes, if Blizzard wanted to create fake players, they have access to a gajillion real account names. Not too hard to take half of one and half of another and create an odd but human-sounding player name.

Shudderwock means driving a clown car in circles around your opponent while he swings his sword at you. Half the time he chops you and your car to pieces. The other half you park on his legs and 40 clowns come out one by one, trampling him to death.

Yeah seems my number keys gave out on me there. - By turn 5 of roping they concede.
Last one I played made no secret of being a bot. It was in his name LBOT24N
I've noticed that if you play any card that 'gives them a card', e.g. Battlecry: Give each player a random spell, that the bots never know what to do with the card/cards. It messes them up and they concede.
i have a theory right, it's christhmas so people are trying to exploit it by selling hearthstone accounts with "good" cards to naive parents that want to buy something nice for their children.

Playing all basic card decks, I see a lot of them at times of the day is this blizzard giving you a game on ranked when theres no one in the queue?
Or is this other people running bots to get their quests done?
I see them mostly on the asia zone early in the morning (i'm in australia) but I play on all 3 zones
your MMR is the same as those bots
I suggest you win more so you can face real players
I prefer to lose with my non-netdecks, but how can I do that if it keeps putting me against bots with basic cards? sheesh
I guess we will never get to the...
...BOTtom of this.
I know where the door is.

Yeah that could be it, I saw them at very early my time the morning when theres a few people on , definitely bots
They simply sell the accounts after they have some legendaries in them

.yeah i know bad joke :(.
Blizzard would give them some fantasy names, not abdasd12341, if that was the case.
That's nothing new by a long shot. They were already doing it nearly 3 years ago, see this Trump video from January 2016 for example.
Ouch! Haha

Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.

There are tons of them these past few days.
