Blatent abuse on softcore classic ladder

There is guy running over 10 bots spamming the softcore ladder with generic characters called a,b,c,d,e,f,g etc…

So when you look at the softcore ladder it doesn’t even have actual players at the top. Its just ‘imyourfoola’ imyourfoolb’ imyourfoobc’ … ‘wekeyouclassica’ ‘wekeyouclassicb’ wekeyouclassicc’ …

I mean the guy couldn’t even be bothered to hide the fact he is botting (running map hacks and third party programs).

Couldn’t even be bothered to name his chars. Just abusing the game to earn forum gold. All while spamming the ladder. Legit players can’t even look at it without thinking how blizzard are a totally absent.

Why doesn’t blizz just do a round up randomly a month or so in? People would stop botting or at the very least hide it.

When you let them abuse the game it becomes a mess. Iv never seen a ladder with that many non player characters on it.

Something has to be done about the hack software on d2r. Should have monthly bans. Blocking the cd key’s permanently.

Without Blizzard expending a ton of manpower, it is difficult for them to combat the botting/cheating issue in Diablo 2 on the original Battle.net platform. It’s one of the many reasons for them creating Diablo 2: Resurrected, to move the games online connectivity to the modern Battle.net platform, which has better cheating countermeasure capabilities.

If you have the capabilities and would like to assist Blizzard in combating this problem with the original game, I suggest that you record in-game footage of the cheaters, upload the footage to an online file storage like Dropbox or Google drive, then email hacks@blizzard.com with a report including the shared links to the game footage.

Handbrake is a great tool for transcoding the video to a smaller size in order to make it quicker to upload.
