i thought you already quit because of the spam.
i’m done with this game, they aren’t changing their bad mistakes. they aren’t making good decisions. they are leaving their bad mechanics TZ, bandaid charm sunder, and OP runeword Mosaic til the end of time. … this isn’t the game i wanted to play.
THIS ISN’T.
“THE GAME YOU KNOW AND LOVED”
bunch of lying pricks.
i did? i skipped the first 3 months of this season. then played this season for 3 weeks now I’m waiting for next season.
i can come back after quitting you know…
I’ve quit and came back in my 20 years around 10 times. (probably only like 8-12 years of actual game time playing daily/weekly)
around 5 times in lod, at least twice in “path of diablo”, and at least twice on d2:R.
I agree lock Asia region for them self, unless they wanna fix the bot problem then this is a solid solution.
Its funny you think that there is no demand for botted items in na or eu servers. even if the flawed idea that botting comes mostly from asia were true, after the lockdown you would see vpn accounts from asia botting in eu and na to provide supply to a demand that can no longer be met, after all if botting is big business then why would those that break TOS to make money care about the lockdown?, they wont.
Botters have 400 accounts, they rebuy them constantly when they are banned, region is irrelevant cause they dont put the games to their actual name you know.
“Flawed idea”
I mean google exists. The amount of Asian RMT sites out there is disgusting.
I just find it funny that people who are fine with HR drop rates being so abysmal are also the ones complaining about bots without seeing the direct line between them, lmao.
ya i just didn’t know you had started playing again. i THINK i’m done with d2:r forever unless there’s drastic changes from the recent changes they’ve made. but i doubt that’s happening, so long d2:r. you were fun, for a little while.
of course its not.
the right answer is for blizzard to actually ban them, within minutes of them being seen spamming.
and then ban the farming bots at least weekly if not daily during first 3-ish weeks of the season.
and also add a unlimited block list.
those are the correct solutions.
but blizzard doesn’t seem willing to ban them, or capable of implementing a blocklist.
so we are left with trying to find another solution.
i would much rather have the above than blocking realm wide trade.
but something has to be done to address it… and if they cant do it properly then this is the 3rd best option.
I think I was in-game when that happened. Wondered if that was the case.
Hahahahha, it’s called inclusivity, regardless of downfalls, language barriers etc … it’s also greed. The little server space needed to keep them separated is more pennies they can pocket … to hell with what’s better for you the player. Hahahahhaha
??? it costs less money to keep them seperated?
your profile is sycned with your server, which is then back up to the global server.
this allowed you to cross realms.
locking asia means u wont need to have space for the entirety of the asia server in the global server, just EU and NA.
this means they would not need anywhere near as many servers, because na and EU would not need to support asia, andf the global backup wouldn’t need to support asia… and asia wouldn’t need top support EU and NA.
sure it might cost them money and time to break the link between servers, but in the long run it would save them money.
still a relevant issue… i know it wont happen for season 5… so expect prices to drop to nothing by the end of the first week… but plz… for season 6? and give us an offline block list
Is it possible that few players on Asia servers are actually botting or duping and most of them just work way harder than u do. Some studios can farm 20hrs+ per day. Has that ever come across ur mind? Just thinking =)
I’ve noticed some very obvious duping going on when making trades with Asian players. They also have an insane amount of daily D-walks compared to NA or EU. There is definitely rampant botting/duping happening in Asian servers. The biggest botters of the ‘forbidden site’ all happen to be Chinese. It’s a job for most of them. Anyway, Blizzard won’t do anything about it, because I bet a nice chunk of their revenue comes from botters buying multiple copies of the game. That’s why they have ‘banwaves’ instead of just regularly banning people. When a ban wave hits, botters are unphased. They just buy new accounts, and considering most big-time botters run RMT websites, it’s a business for them. Buying new copies of the game is just part of operating costs. I feel like if botters were regularly banned right away they wouldn’t be so quick to jump back in. Would be a lot harder anyway, as most botters have to gear up just like the rest of us before they can actually start botting. Anyway, to those of you leaving the game because of botters, you must have simply never played LoD for any amount of time outside of the initial launch. Botting was always inevitable in this game.
