Just a question. Isn't against the rules of this forum to even discuss bots? Or did that famous YouTuber talk weirdo information to me.


This forum has rules?

I'm confident that this topic does not violate the rules. Going into any specifics about bots, yes.

Ok. If Elon Musk provides us with nano chips into our head and we control the computer just from far away with our mind, is it legal for Blizzard? Neurallink is a real project.

Do gamers who bot go commando? :blush:
Personally, I think that it's important to wear underwear. Regardless of how often you shower, there is an exceptionally diverse symbiotic microbiota and non-symbiotic microbiota down there. :hug:

That's a tough one because those "cheating mice" used in FPS games are pretty much universally banned.

Why not? Why legitimize organized cheating? Why would i want my efforts to be mitigated by profiteers? I would never sell items for pixels, but i would also not want the stuff i find to be less worth than what it is because someone is cheating.

And the logic that people have jobs is faulty, because i would happily give free items to people that don't have much time to play, to make their journey easier. If everyone gave some free stuff from time to time, and if nobody thought about money or profits, the game and the community would be genuine and just better. We wouldn't have these toxic people pushing high-end gear and bullying people suggesting lower range gear just to keep them out of the market so they can keep the market clear for themselves and their money grubbing schemes.

No bots = Genuine and pleasant community.



Hey Taurean 🙂. How are you doing? Couldn’t resist a response to this old argument lol.

You mentioned that you would never sell your items for pixels, but at the same time don’t want your items value lessened by a market flooded with bots. This statement seems like a contradiction to me. If you have no desire to sell your items, why would it bother you that someone else would sell theirs for whatever price they themselves decide or the market decides?

How does this affect your game play at all? How does someone else cheating affect you?

You don’t want to cheat, don’t cheat. What someone else does shouldn’t have any bearing on what you do.

Love ya buddy ❤️


Edit:

p.s. I’ve had many interactions with several shop owners that I use, never once have I felt like they are toxic people with ‘money grubbing schemes’.

They offer a service and I am thankful for that service. I LOVE when a Ber drops, as I farm myself and do not bot, but make no mistake lol, I also LOVE that I don’t have to rely on the abysmal drop rates of D2 to equip myself with whatever gear I choose. 😊

Blizzard makes too much money from bots for them to make any reasonable effort to eradicate them. Every ban wave means more $.

They are trying to mitigate bots on D2R but I don't think they care to really eliminate them.

Edit:

I remember one season where perfect jewels were super cheap. Lots of sellers had plenty to sell at a reasonable price. The initial supply came from bots and the rest came from dupers. Admittedly, it was nice to be able to easily find a perfect jewel to insert in your gear. 15@/15ias jewels, 40/15s, all readily available. I havent really used my eth andy helm I found because I dont want anything in it but a 15/30fr jewel but cant find one cheap enough to warrant inserting in a merc helm.

I think the 3th option is very acurate.

Whats left on lod if they get banned tho?

Historically I will say it sleights the pvm gamer who wants to mf something worth a damn.

But it definitely benefits the super casual and pvp players providing godlies at a much lower price or the option to buy up a viable discount character.

Ultimately at this time i dont think it matters and d2 lod lived a very long good life.

Personally i feel d2r servers etc came a long way from release and i have been enjoying the remake with the few quality of life upg i.e graphics and upg stash
