I can remember back in the day where the best items were still windforce, grandfather, etc. Indirectly, Blizzard has ultimately failed to enforce its policy of no 3rd party programs and this has led to rampant botting, whether it by advertising firms or the item-crazed gamer.ĭirectly, the path Blizzard took during some of its patches (specifically 1.11) significantly changed the gameplay as well. Many of you will agree that the evolution of diablo 2 from it's original design into what we have today is primarily a testament to the direct and indirect actions taken by Blizzard. However, I will say that if anything, jsp has EVOLVED the game, rather than ruining it. I understand that the amount of people playing d2 has indeed declined, but this trend is also witnessed in every other game that has been on the market for such a long time. If the game were indeed ruined, no one would be playing at all. So tl dr: You don’t pay enough for effective security and it’s pointless anyways.The fact of the matter is, jsp didn't ruin the game. I’m just saying if they do it again, count yourself lucky. How much time do you think it would take for a competent team to eat up the entire D3 budget? D3 is $15 forever on the right holiday sale and how many resources have they put into banning bots overall? One lowly developer is $50/hr plus benefits unless it’s a contractor.

WoW is $15/mo and they still have a bot problem. If you want to pump money into D3 every month, great, but as you’re playing a game that’s essentially free minus a small activation fee, the failure here is probably more on the expectation than the delivery. Somebody’s always the bigger exploiter of mechanics and/or always more lucky.įinally, every time they banned bots in D2, the bots just became stronger. Secondly, again, what other people do does not matter to anybody else in the slightest unless you, for some reason, are obsessed with leader boards and let’s face it, you’re not going to reach the top no matter what you do. Beyond like 10 hours total in a season, you’re basically accomplishing 0.0005% of anything at all. Right, but why D3? This is probably the worst way to waste your time if you have obscene amounts to spare. I play 10 hours or more a day, (spinal fusion) means you cant a whole lot.

Are people using bots in diablo 3
