[BWOLF] hedgehog_s Players 261 posts 47,377 battles Report post #1 Posted August 11, 2021 So everyone in the world knows that CLAWS is a bot clan run by one human (its all over youtube etc.), I am now getting at LEAST 1 CLAWS bot in 80% of my games (they run Nagato, Amagi and the odd Izumo) - why WG cant you just ban them ?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-TAP-] Pandafaust Players 755 posts 10,484 battles Report post #2 Posted August 11, 2021 They unfortunately have no interest in banning them, due either to incompetence, corruption or some other reason. I'd say they might have been simply leaving it running as an easy way to identify account selling, but as there appears to be no banning of the former members later down the line, this seems unlikely. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pick one or several answers: a) recruitment scheme and account sale b) it's happening with consent of WG, maybe even by an employee c) WG needs player numbers and don't care what happens in coop d) WG simply can't detect bots e) WG really thinks every month a bunch of new players create accounts with generated names to merrily grind the IJN BB line playing 1000 games per week 24/7 just to leave afterwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[G-O-M] Aethervoxx Players 2,597 posts 13,191 battles Report post #6 Posted August 11, 2021 I'm speculating that this CLAWS clan is some sort of 'exploit' that the current rules allow? If so, this is just player testing of the rules and this is on the game developer to resolve with a rule alteration. Simple game design reality - the players will exploit any rules anomaly they find - it's what players do. This is game design workshop 101 (basic game design parameters) from the age of 'paper board gaming'. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
