過去幾周，《魔獸世界》外服主城(暴風城、奧格瑞瑪)的「DB機器人」泛濫，這些由腳本控制的小號大肆發布涉賭宣傳，播報大獎得主，嚴重影響了交易和綜合頻道的使用。此事引起暴雪開發人員Tom Ellis的關注，他在社媒發帖，稱暴雪已獲悉此事，打算採取專項行動。
「近期賭場現象愈演愈烈，我明確告訴大家，宣揚此類活動嚴重違反我們的政策，請舉報他們(或者召地獄火幹掉他們)。經深入調查，我們發現是RMT(真錢交易)群體發現DB可以低本快速賺金，從而導致此類腳本的激增。我們已有專人研究對策，降低其獲利空間，讓他們徹底滾蛋。淨網行動會悄然展開，你甚至將感覺不到此事發生過。」
The casino thing that's vogue right now. Just to confirm we're aware, it's still against policy to advertise a casino (https://us.support.blizzard.com/en/help/article/000227547) so keep reporting them (or dropping infernals on them). Digging in, it looks like the RMT crowd (that's gold sellers) have realized this is an easy way to make gold quickly and cheaply, which has driven an uptick in the behavior. You caught Watcher's attention so we have a few folks looking into ideas on how we can make getting these people out of the game much faster so the activity is less lucrative and in turn, they will hopefully piss off. Don't expect any sort of big fanfare "Mission Accomplished!" banner for this one, this is one of the ones that you hopefully don't even notice stopped happening if we get it right.
等待官方方案落地的同時，社區玩家拿出奇思妙想，對付這些腳本。
首先是術士的地獄火，在腳本頭上召喚地獄火，再解散。解散後的地獄火會無差別攻擊附近目標，而腳本多為1級小號，很容易被AOE擊殺。
然後是悲傷沼澤的Debuff，在悲傷沼澤打一種叫「失落尋隙者」的小怪，等待他給你釋放「裂隙標記」的Debuff(身體變紫)。這個Debuff會在60秒內在你的位置刷出2個小怪，趕快爐石回城，跑到腳本旁邊，利用這些召出的小怪擊殺他們。
虛空風暴的寄生蟲也有類似效果，前往外域虛空風暴地圖南邊的礦坑，這裡散落著一些NPC屍體，靠近屍體並互動，會刷出一隻寄生蟲。讓寄生蟲攻擊你15秒左右，你將獲得一個感染的Debuff。後面操作就和悲傷沼澤一樣，回城，放毒。這個Debuff放出的怪物等級更高，達到69級。
