How to tell if another player is BOT?

On Random Battles.

They have a colon before and after the name. :Brand212:

I'd say watch out for certain clantags but I don't want to get banned. LOL

But thats on CO-OP tho, I heard people are saying that in Asia Server, theres a lot of BOTS in Random Battles. So im confuse cuz I never see those names on any Random Battles. So.. Is that true? or is it just me?

Ahh they're talking about players running bot programs. Honestly, it's very hard to tell. You can only spot them when they mess up. They don't play particularly well - but they do play better than some players - so yea, nearly impossible to spot. Often poor players doing stupid things get blamed for being bots.

Ways to check: Look them up by name. If they have a lot of money invested in their account (premium ships etc) they probably aren't botting because it's risky. If you get caught, you get banned. It's probably just a very bad player who spends money. If they have thousands of battles or even many hundreds on the ship they're playing, plus they're playing badly... might be suspect. If you suspect a bot, send the replay to Wargaming if you feel it's worth your time and they'll investigate. Personally I don't bother because they're better than some players out there so....

You do see the bots I was talking about in randoms sometimes, but it's very rare and usually low tier.

Actually most bots are easy to spot. Just check their account and put the number of battles they have in comparison to the time that has passed since the account was created. If you end up with a battle every 30 minutes or so it's botting.

And no, it's not risky because WG doesn't ban bot accounts unless someone calls out an extreme case on Reddit and it turns into a fecal typhoon. WG also ignored excessive teamkilling before they changed the automatic punishment system to what we have now.

I'll take a bot over an asshat any day.

So, Bot's and skrubbs right?... Skrubb meaning : "a player with plenty of time in the game
but... still not very good"... Right?

OMG I just described myself...Lol..

By this definition the majority of WoWs players are scrubs. I wish playing a lot would make people automatically get good at the game but unfortunately that's not the case. And by 'good' I don't mean having unicum stats and carrying every team. Doing something else than either suiciding into the enemy or hugging the border for 20 minutes is enough for most of the time. The sad truth is playing a DD and still being alive after 5 minutes already makes you better than 50% of the players.

Yeah, i have to agree. Even as a bit of a skrubb myself i still do my best to help out.
You know, lay smoke for retreating BB's and CV's spotting, capping... The nitty gritty
work of a real DD driver... Sometimes i even pull off an ambush...
Top tip... If it goes purple, your grip is too tight...ha ha;)
