What exactly is a World of Warcraft Honor Bot?
A World of Warcraft Honor Bot is a program that runs your World of Warcraft character for you. It will queue for battlegrounds, accept the queue, and attempt to gain you honor while in the battleground by repeating some set of predetermined actions. Usually these actions are fairly limited, and players will quickly pick up on the fact that you're botting.
Repercussions of Using a World of Warcraft Honor Bot
Botting is of course against World of Warcraft's Terms of Service. However, if you play a few games of Alterac Valley, you will quickly realize how little is actually done about botting. Game after game is plagued with people sitting in caves, running into trees, and generally just being useless. The people running these bots are not even trying to hide it in most cases because the repercussions are so minimal. It seems you only get a 3-day account suspension and lose your honor points for your first offense. That's assuming you get caught, which seems to be a very rare occurrence. I assume the punishment is worse for repeated offenses, but I have my doubts.
My Views on World of Warcraft Honor Bots
I personally consider the use of bots to be cheating. I think it grants people an unfair advantage and degrades the game as a whole. Sadly others do not feel the same and until Blizzard takes a more aggressive approach to dealing with botters they will remain a constant annoyance for many World of Warcraft players.
