Common misconception in my opinion. Whatever they make by banning bots and forcing them to rebuy copies is barely a rounding error at this point considering their 8 billion dollar revenue.

The reason they don't ban bots more often is incompetence and indifference. I personally don't think there is a grand plan or strategy behind it.




Possible, they'll do what makes the most money. And if banning more bots causes more player retention so people buy battle passes, ingame cosmetics and other garbage, they might actually spend some resources on banning bots (at first).

More importantly though, how come you're not in GC anymore? ;)

Thanks for the analysis.

I am staying away from GC because I find that place to be too toxic. People insulting one another for no apparent reason, and others cheer them on, etc. I want better use of my time and have been reading more in real life and learning English as a result. How you been? :)

Your English is actually great. I've been alright too.

Good luck with everything. :)

bro just relax and enjoy the ride.

bots will come fast they will farm tons of gold and godly rare items which ppl will then RMT for in 3rd party websites/jsp.

This is the reality of online rpg games with trading/economy. And its perfectly fine. The game itself isn't offering sanctioned RMT/p2w and that's a good thing.

Just play the game to have fun.

You can play the game to "be better than others and play d2jsp forum gold economy to be rich" too, but that might take away from its just a video game at the end of the day.

To each their own and if the game is not fun, just play one of the other 20 games you find more fun instead. Its all good

Exactly, in-game economies don't work anymore because they always lead to pay to win. Maybe web3 gaming will bring it back, it'll be real money involved, but at least its not trying to hide it.

So my fellow diablo 4 forum enjoyers, what's the consensus? will there be rampant botting like in d2?
Yay or nay?
