Bots can't be stopped. Simple. No buts and ifs.

So, make each cd keys $100.

At least that will deter some plebs from mass botting like how it is now with $10/key.

It won't fully deter everyone but at least it will reduce the numbers by 80%

:rofl: If that is USD, that is like $150 for me, hell no, some of our game prices are just under $100 now, ain't going to buy it at that price.

Exchange rates buddy, exchange rates.

Register the IP Address with your locale with your CD key for playing the game... that should deter it more, also, when CDkeys are active, and the IP address is backtracked, they can see how many CD keys are in that same location... ouch, goodbye D2R party at my place.

Also, any internet cafes' have to register as a Company, and only 1 CDkey can be used for personal use in the office... :D

Not really sure if this would work, but backtracking IP addresses with the CDkeys should reduce botting.

Better option: nuke d2r from orbit to prevent botting

If it cost 600$ and they ban botters often then we would finally be rid of this plague

You fell in love with a girl in your youth.
Both sets of parents agreed to the marriage.
She went abroad.
Her evil stepmother now wants to transfer the marriage proposal from the dream girl to herself.
she might sleep with you on the wedding night, but she has an active vision to look for millions more husbands that will pay her.
with regret I say, dont expect stellar after sales service, so enjoy that first night.

Solid point. But imo marginal propensity to consume would outweigh the increase in price from 40 to 100.


I feel like you heard someone say "marginal propensity to consume" once but don't really understand the concept
