Bots

I have encountered a Bot player today in Pet Battling. He had [pet]Onyxian Whelpling[/pet], [pet]Lil' XT[/pet], and [pet]Gregarious Grell[/pet] and did the exact Spells all the time in the same round. It was pretty funny because I had an obvious anti-combo as a Team and beat him. After that I immediately queued again and got him as my Enemy again.

I did this for approximately 20 Games and I always had him as the enemy. He did the same abilities. Every round. Never changed anything. He didn't even flee or anything. No tactics and nothing.

Hands down, this was a Bot - And it is well-known that Bots for Pet Battling exist. He gave me 20 wins for free.

Has anyone of you encountered Bots in PvP Pet Battling yet, aswell?

It's a little sad that there is no function to report him.

Having him again as enemy. Same Pets, same abilities in the same round. No alteration of anything.

:lol: :twisted:

Yeah, met one quite a few times that runs anubisath idol + direhorns (though it's been a while since I last saw him). I would recognize him due to the names of the pets and I know it was a bot for similar reasons to yours, + he had a delay on choosing moves that was always the same.

I've run into some actually battling and leveling pets (They hang out by Lucky-Yi, where the 4 Marsh Fiddlers spawn)... and it's obvious when you look on the AH and the person has 35 level 25s up for sale (or more) constantly.

UGGH, it's ruining our pet economy, because they buy pets, level them to 25, and inflate the prices. Yes, the PvP wins are good, but what it's doing to the AH and the flow of things, not cool :(

I've run into a couple weird teams. One was a guy using just the basic abilities every turn for all his pets, but I only faced him a couple times. There's another guy I see semi-regularly who just doesn't attack at all, just sits there the whole game. Whenever I see him I just go AFK for a while and come back to a victory.

Can't really say whether they're actually bots though
