Hello
so today, I come with a bad news
for the past 10 years (around this number) a game called wc3 got some kind of revolution
you see, nearly all custom games were hosted by bots
those bots were much more usefull than hosting a game by yourself, through wc3 client
there was that site called www.EntGaming.net
they were hosting most of these hostbot on their server
but they also provided a ranking system on most of these
And also, they protected players from troll/cheaters
You see, when a player were cheating/trolling/game throwing/flaming/etc, you could report him/her on the website, and moderator could ban the player for a certain amount of time. Hours. Days. Weeks. Or even month if you cause too much trouble.
You see, when you dont use those bots, there are 0 ranking system, 0 protection against game thrower, because you can kick in game lobby, but not in game, and sometime, it's too late for kicking them
Why do I say #BoycottBlizzard?
It's because they want to release a new patch on wc3
previously, Ent was able to fix their bot and launch them back on Battle.net
But this time, they won't be able to...
Blizzard explicitly said this patch was to take down those bots
Those bots are hosting more than 95% of all custom games
Nearly no one were hosting through the wc3 client
You see, once those bots are down, wc3 will be totally dead
It was already for the past few years (2 or 3) but this time, it will be definitly
Without those bots, the few thousands of remaining players of wc3 will be forced to move to others/newers games such as World of Warcraft or Starcraft II
I saw this hashtag on Battle.net website, and I decided to post it here
If you support us, go post on their forum and help jus fighting this patch
If you want to support us even more (no need to go this far) boycott Activision Blizzard's games such as WOW, Heroes, Overwatch, or SC2...
I know much of you don't play Warcraft III, but we need to stop Blizzard from releasing this patch...
Thank you
