Blizzard Takes Action Against WoW Classic Bots and Death Knight Exploit
TL;DR Summary
Blizzard has banned up to 120,000 accounts in World of Warcraft Classic for using Death Knight bots to quickly reach the endgame. The bots were created after Blizzard waived the requirement for players to have another character at the same level or above to create a Death Knight. The company has now reinstated the restriction, saying it was a "tempting vector for malicious actors to use to get into the game and start exploiting very quickly." The decision has been welcomed by the WoW Classic community.
