Nah bots are what killed the game.

They may have reanimated it and kept it on life support but they killed it

Cheater pvpers modders and the like are a tiny fraction of the player base like it or not


Exactly. A tiny fraction. So shut the fuck up?

You guys are the cockroaches that live on irradiated ground. So ofc you’re all that remain on d2 multiplayer right now.

Because people find it fun and want to do it. So it's the power of human will.

what is it about bots that they cant seem to get a grip on?

i dont understand how with all this technology they dont have a solution

surely there has to be a way to detect them right? its not like this bots are running complex software.


Technology works both ways it's always possible to hide the bot from process scans so the only way to catch bots is automated flagging based on behavior. Botters are excellent at learning and avoiding behavioral flags and the more strict blizzard is the more people they need to manually check for false positives.

Bots win because the amount of money blizzard would have to spend to prevent bots getting an roi before they get banned isn't an amount they're willing to spend.

not this shit again

remove bots = DROVES of legits come back

i would say removing bots would actually increase d2 popularity


dec 2017 season, when the garbage man got first 99 useast hc. Bots weren't around for 3 or 4 months, best season in d2 history.

should take a screen shot of my gold log, got around 450 for shako a month after reset, and SC was around same prices.

/edit: Everyone check your gold logs for dec 2017, you'll know if you a good player if you in + or - for that month.

I spend all my fg on WoW tokens, so im always poor, but that was like a 22k month.

/edit #2: yep over month after reset

Nice.

Sub Cheat_Ass_Off
If (timeIveBotted) => 6 hours then
{
BreakTime (6000)
}
End Sub

Function BreakTime(waitTime as int)
{
Sleep waitTime
}
TimeIveBotted = 0
End Function


Equally easy to program around that logic.



Yeah and im fairly certain bots do that on D2 currently lol

one thing i was thinking about is what is the actual purpose of a bot. and its to farm items

they could monitor input speed.

if a player gets flagged for clicking items at a certain speed consistantly then it would get banned

if the bot has to lower its pickit speed to not get banned.. then humans could in theory steal drops from bots and render them obsolete (at least in public)

if people want to bot 1 player private games.. at least we wouldnt have to look at them
