No reason to take on an insulting matter and call someone completely oblivious to something. I’m not. Blizzard actually encourages botting while publicly making it against the TOS. They do this because it is their main source of income, thus it is their ongoing business model for D2R. This can be proven by the fact that the game always goes on sale right after ban waves. These ban waves only happen very infrequently. So botters know they have many months to freely bot with no repercussion so long as they rebuy the game – Which is conveniently back on sale for them like clockwork.
So, Blizzard has no interest in ending botting. It’s working as intended. If they gave me the keys, I could end it probably within a week completely.
If you look at it from that perspective, things make a little more sense as to why they are the way they are. JSP is just a trading platform. While it does have evils such as the ability to purchase forum gold, and you can also carry over wealth created outside of a ladder onto a new one, which is supposed to be economically refreshed, the main draw is the trading platform itself. If you only buy as much as you have sold during a particular ladder, then you can use it ethically. And that is the demand of the player base. Blizzard refuses to make their own version of this, so that demand is satiated by JSP. This is all blizzard’s choice. Blizzard could simply make their own trading venue with a proprietary currency that resets every ladder, but they choose not to. So the market will fill its demand via who supplies it.
But since JSP is the most popular trading platform and the most efficient, botters will unload there. The problem itself is botting and the oversupply of items, not the venue where it’s most efficient to unload those items. And as I have explained in this post, Blizzard enables that process and profits off of it in an observable business model.
