I'm so sick of people arguing 'botters make items more affordable, what's the problem?'. Yes they make items more affordable and they also make items next to worthless, so when you grind out a good find guess what? it's worth dick. are you having fun now? no. what's the point in playing ? why do you think people tune in for new ladders? because it's rewarding to find items that actually hold value and botters take that factor out of the equation. Let me just spell it out for you: if you think botters don't ruin this game you have mental problems because the joy of playing this game is in the fact that you can hold some pride in having spent the time investment to find something exclusive and precious. If you don't agree then take your ass to single player.
d2r is fucked. botters were inevitable, and are BAD for pvm, but GOOD for pvp. and blizzard fucked up pvp, aka the only thing that kept D2c alive for years outside of the initial 1-2 months of fresh ladder.
if it was a heavily botted game where pvp was good, fine. if it was a non-botted game where pvp was shit, fine. they fucked up, they listened to shitty feedback to make all chars viable in pvm, which ruins pvp, when pvm was already ruined by botters.
its like 2 kids arguing over who got the bigger cookie and the mom throwing both in the trash.
