I was so happy that I found HCCL, the last Diablo 2 paradise where you can play legit fun game and still appear on the ladder, where people help each other and play to truly experience the game, not to be the first somewhere or make profit.
But, the worst thing happened recently...
They say a picture is more than thousand words:
In just 4 days, the marked characters on my second screenshot achieved impossible amounts of exp from nothing.
None of these characters were ever seen in any public game. Few days back, these characters didn't even exist.
It's almost impossible for human to exp 3+ characters on classic to such levels, maybe only if his whole family or group of friends were playing together day and night (which is why I put 99% not 100%)
Several of people I know from the top of HCCL already stopped playing because of that and I believe more will follow :/
I don't understand it, what could be the possible reasons for a person to bot on HCCL?
1) Money - doesn't make sense, since he will have almost no one to sell to, because his boting demotivates most ppl from playing on HCCL
2) Boosting ego - also doesn't make sense, since how can he be proud of something he didn't even do with his own hands...
3) Just ruining other people's legit efforts - in that case he is succesful in that, but a very broken human being
I am even willing to go so far as offering 5k FG to this person, if he stops this nonsense and deletes the botted characters.
Thank you for your attention.
P.S.: Is there any way to officially flag him or fight this? I suppose not since the situation on LoD, but...
