Dear Blizzard,
My Name is Jamil and I want to reach out to higher management. Please let me know if I have contacted one of the correct individuals to address my concerns.
Firstly I would like all to turn attention to the recent forum posts at the following:
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/bnet/to ... 080?page=4I have been a blizzard client since you started and also spend on a regular basis at your hearthstone Arena game. Simply see my transactions to see how much money you earn from me.
Please can somebody reply to my posts as per the link above. I am DaEarthquake on the posts and am extremly frustrated at the lack of understanding and acknowledgment to the forum posts.
Guys, in a nutshell, WC3 is not your main concern and is so old for you to probably care, but many of us in the community are effected by this astonishing behaviour and lack of care to your consumers.
I am 37 years old and played WC3 since it launched. The bnet custom games hosted by bots is the main reason you have so many users on WC3, especially with it being such an old game.

Instead of insulting BearTribe, let us assume he is doing his job and wants to clean up the game.....
I have played via ENT for many years. I am 37 years old and LTD mega is my favourite game of all time. ENT are a hostingbot that cleans up hackers, dodgers and game ruiners. Surely if we ask BearTribe to look into this in further depth, he may support our argument instead of pissing him off. Yes D2 has bots which is completely different to hosting bots. maybe we can approach him nicely and gain his support.....
BearTribe, Please listen to the players that have helped this community and understand most people here dont even play D2. WC is dead without the likes of ENT hosting bots. Just look at their website and see the community. It is not even a community that has just developed the game, but a community that has cleaned up the problems with ALL matters. Blizzard directly do not offer this support. However, maybe look into asking ENT to join up with Blizzard and allow them to be part of the integral setup of the solution as most players are in this community.
Please understand that by removing ENT will remove most of the last standing players and people that voice the changes that were needed.
WC will die out very fast without HOSTINGBOTS (not BOTS). The ENT community is large and consists of most people that use WC battlenet.
Why would Blizzard encourage the removal of a community that has only helped WC develop?
https://www.change.org/p/blizzard-retur ... ft-3-patchWarcraft 3 hostbots offer:
-Lower latency. Previously server latency was over 100ms.
-Host control: users can control their lobbies using kick, ban players from future lobbies they host, amongst countless other features.
-Ease of finding games. Communities have risen up around websites which offer a complete list of games hosted, making it much easier to find the game you want than the archaic game list which offers only a portion of games hosted and must be refreshed.
-Autohosted games. Many players play a few mods exclusively. Instead of having to manual host, there are autohosts which rehost automatically. This makes playing what you want extremely easy.
-Thanks to autohosts, competitive communities have grown through the use of stats and elo tracking. Here is an example:
https://entgaming.net/customstats/legionmega/ . This website allows you to track your elo, game history, and retrieve replays. Bots have also allowed for community moderation, keeping the environment competitive thanks to moderation teams that review replays to stop cheaters.
Without hostbots, these communities will die. This decision was not communicated with the community beforehand, nor was it explicitly mentioned in the patch notes, only that they were releasing a new hosting system:
https://us.battle.net/forums/en/bnet/topic/20769476896Their hosting system does not offer any of the above features mentioned.
I had to confirm it was their intention to remove hostbots and replace it with their own system via discord. We are fed up with these patches that are breaking not only the game through crashes, but the features we have given the game ourselves in the absence of developer support.
Hostbots should be supported by Blizzard, not removed
I am specifically referring to ENT in this post.
Please BearTribe, shed some light on how, in anyway shape or form, has ENT hindered/negatively impacted WC battlenet?
Many people have come together via ENT community and enjoy endless fun of playing team games and communicating on the games that are hosted. Why would you want to remove this?
THIS DOES GO ON.........
Can somebody other than BearTribe from your upper management acknowledge what is being stated here and give a satisfactory explanation to the concern?!!!
Why would you as an online gaming provider want to piss off so many users and destroy what ENT gaming has done for you?
Please elaborate with an explanation.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Kind regards,
Jamil
