I mean yeah. If you find it. And not your bot. Otherwise it just feels cheated, no? And there's no fun in cheating? Especially when you know it potentially ruins the fun for other people?

My biggest annoyance is that if I want to participate in an economy in D2R, then I can't compete. Because when I've done 1 run. People with bots have done 50. So everything I ultimately find has a greatly diminished value from the get-go.
It also makes high-runes near useless (in FG terms - Since it's hard not to compare to FG due to it's existence)

Season 6 will do twice the bots, so 3fg jah Runes on the 2nd day

So basically if I find a jah day 4 again, I might be able to sell? I’m mean I tried to sell, tried to sell, tried to sell then put it in an enigma 😂😂 on day 4 last season jah sat at a mighty 400fg value, but I’m guessing everyone knows by now day 6-7 jahs will be sitting around 80 so is it even worth the reset energy first 3 nights? If no one buys items till the fg price drop?

If you’re playing d2jsp instead of d2 then yeah you can’t compete with 1 client but if you do in game trades most of the stuff is the same value as always like jah/ber for your Mara 30 etc ultimately the goal is to find that ultra rare gg item the runes and other things are just bonus finds

You'll know when they ban bots because D2:R will go on sale the same day.

I think I do a handful of trades on JSP during a Reset.
Last ladder I did 2 Trades.

One 1 Pul for 2fg and 1 Ko + Vex for 10fg.
So a whoppin 12fg - After that I decided to go Offline SSF which was an incredible experience. With the only drawback of no trade capabilities when I wanted to opt out of ssf.

The excitement about a new ladder just disappears due to the knowledge of bots finding 10x the wealth I can accumulate in the same amount of time. Because a new ladder ultimately means a fresh economy.
But then you see Anni after 2 days instead of after 6 weeks. It's possible to just close your eyes and ignore it, yes - But then you still get reminded of the bots via the ingame "Diablo walks the earth" announcements.

The perfect D2R would be a scarce landscape. No bots. No HRs. No Annis - No rare Uniques - Bunch of Torches because they're easy to farm solo, but all the rare items stay rare.
But it might just be a fever dream.



And I think it's a great way to earn more on the same franchise. Just keep weeding them out gradually. Hopefully they'll give up eventually. D2R might die. But if that means that we don't have bots, then it's a fair trade I would say

Lol

Sure grandpa, take a seat over here and enjoy your candy.

Bots will always be a part of the game, you have to accept it. A lot of us (including me) wish they would go away, but they wont.

Blizzshit does not give a fuck about you, me, or d2r even though they know full well its their best game out right now. They want people to play their shitty D4 and hope someone is stupid enough to pay 65$ for a shitty horse mount.

Very constructive.



Sadly always been that way - And sadly impossible to solve the issue without involvement from Blizzard or JSP.
A complete ban on bots from JSP would be interesting (Which won't happen).

Could be interesting to see what would happen if per chance.
People who buy 20x Sets of items would get straight up banned - Reason: Purchasing Bot Equipment.
Selling bulk HRs after a few days - Ban: Reason - Bot suspicion.

But yeah - I've lost all faith in Blizzard. Sadly - The company i looked to for great games in the past
