Is BOT allowed?

I’m surfing in many forums that talk about using BOT for either

  1. Assisting item filtering with certain affix, so it’s time-saving
  2. Automatic action for farming / crafting items.

My first impression was it should not be allowed. But I noticed there’s a lot tech discussions on this. So I would rather ask here for a formal advise.

There are not any discussions or debates on this. Blizzard does not allow botting, automation, or cheating of any kind. They never have. People have been banned in Blizzard games for over 20 years now when they are caught.

The formal documentation is in the EULA you agreed to when making a Battlenet account. Please see section C in the EULA on License Limitations.

C. License Limitations. Blizzard may suspend or revoke your license to use the Platform, or parts, components and/or single features thereof, if you violate, or assist others in violating, the license limitations set forth below. You agree that you will not, in whole or in part or under any circumstances, do the following

Cheating: Create, use, offer, promote, advertise, make available and/or distribute the following or assist therein:

  • cheats; i.e. methods not expressly authorized by Blizzard (whether accomplished using hardware, software, a combination thereof, or otherwise), influencing and/or facilitating gameplay, including exploits of any in-game bugs, and thereby granting you and/or any other user an advantage over other players not using such methods;
  • bots; i.e. any code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Blizzard, that allows the automated control of a Game, or any other feature of the Platform, e.g. the automated control of a character in a Game;
  • hacks; i.e. accessing or modifying the software of the Platform in any manner not expressly authorized by Blizzard; and/or
  • any code and/or software, not expressly authorized by Blizzard, that can be used in connection with the Platform and/or any component or feature thereof which changes and/or facilitates the gameplay or other functionality;

I advise you read the document in its entirety.
