5,335 queues again. Chat is no longer functional. Things ran smoothly during the week, but back to the same odd behavior. Ladder isnāt really playable right now. Tried creating non-ladder, and a west account. None of these issues exist there apparently. Please help!
D2 Ladder East is almost unplayable. Could you all at least explain why its taking 30min to create a game? Maybe its true what they are saying about Blizzard, maybe theyāve abandoned their old timer gamers.

I have to presume the main problem is bots. Yet bots, perhaps if they profit from selling items, buy more accounts for more botsā¦
I donāt think its bots. Bots have been in d2 pretty much forever and this problem was never a thing. Also, the other realms are not having this problem, and there are plenty of bots on those realms as well.

I think they ought to roll back to waiting 5 minutes to perm a game. Iād bet that would help greatly with the queue problem. I suspect that there are a ton of vacant games from bot runners doing 1-2 minute games repeatedly, they leave, then the server continues running that game for an additional 5 minutes which is soaking up all of the available ports for games.
Another thing they could do would be to āunpermā games where Baal has been killed, that way when everyone (or everybot) leaves, the game terminates and the ports become available for the next game.

At this point, there arenāt any games that can be joined anymore. And after waiting 30+ minutes, canāt create a game either. I believe US east ladder to be officially belly-up and unplayble 
Come onnnnnnn Blizzard. The line to create games is approaching 7000 deep and no games are showing up in the join list. How tf does this issue exist? And keep coming back week after week?? Just revert the code back or whatever because clearly something you changed is not working appropriately. Are we really going to continue like this forever?
Blizzard are trying to fight bots , but what they do is just bugging the servers !
Blizzard team can not get it!
There are too much developers these days which will bypass any of their anti-cheat methods !
The only solution against cheaters and stable servers is Warden+ Accoun/Cd Key locking!
This lack of care in general is honestly depressing, why is Blizzard so eager to be hated? In the past few years itās only been a mess after a mess since you guys donāt have phones thing.
So because of these bugs where lobbies wont appear in the list and queues of 6000 where it takes 2 hours to actually count down to make a room, ive now lost a character due to him expiring since the past week has only been issues everytime i try to get on.
At this point it more worth it to just delete the game so i wont waste my time with this garbage and not being able to actually play. Bliz you have really went to hell and have no care for the players anymore.

But I dunno manā¦ now I bet they have minimal server commitment compared to bot overpopulation. Perhaps something we cannot fathomā¦ but, iām telling you, they canāt use anti-Pickit methods or ban players who are doing what literally humans cannot do with spell utilization (since they have some superhuman people playing games at times with ridiculous APM)ā¦ those are loyal customers.
Poor blizzardā¦see what you have becomeā¦you are your own worst ennemy
Not only is it near impossible to create a game due to hour + game creation time. But there are currently no games on D2 ladder east that you can join.
This is a game creation problem, not a bot problem. Although bots are generally part of the issue in the sense that at least on EHC, a handful of players will troll the community by joining every single game and hostile players bot or not. But usually bots because letās face it, thatās the only way to really play now since nobody wants to run themselves. And these āplayersā (who donāt actually play the game anymore) do it just to stop other players from leveling or playing in general. But I digress. Back to these annoying immature players, (who also create characters with extremely racist names); when they hostile the party, the bot leaves and makes a new game, obviously. Then they just join the new game and hostile again. This happens over and over and over, creating more and more games on the server. Iām not sure if this is a problem on other realms, but Iām willing to bet itās not. These players just need to be IP banned in general as Iām sure they are a big part in whatās happening, because this happened literally shortly after theyād been doing it for like 3 days straight.

These are just a few of their account names, some are the same person. But Blizzard refuses to do anything, even after I report multiple times about the racism, āWhile this is foul and against the rules, we canāt do anything.ā Is generally what they say.
This is my theory, and Iām 99% sure itās at least partially correct. Apologies for the wall.
lol conspiracy theories aside lets be honest the real reason for this is because blizzard skimped on server capacity
up the servers & get rid of all this nonsense temporary restriction BS so we can forget you guys destroyed one of the best games ever created

bots dont do 1-2 minute games because then their bot would be temp-banned constantly. they maximize efficiency, which means 10-12 minute games usually. blaming this on bots is ignorant. itās Blizzard.

They can swap CD keys to get an extra 20 runs. They just keep cycling the keys every 20 runs. With 3 key sets, you can do 1 minute runs.
