Simply put botters mostly damage the game not by accumulating stuff for themselves but they sell the botted items and ruin the economy.
The solution:
Instead of frequent banwaves as mass punishment which blizz fears tremmendeusly…
How about, causing the flagged accounts to have items bound to account on pickup?
Ppl woud still bot… we can’t stop this, however, when botted items are out of circulation the game economy becomes healthy. And most importantly this would happen instantly, as soon as flagged, ,independantly rather than mass punishment, and most importantly the action would be autonomus, so it would not require bob the janitor to even bat an eyelash, rather than performing account actions on the server, and rebooting it…
What do you guys think…
Is opting out the botters from game’s economy and let them play in return for instant punishmrnt, better than unicorn level of rarity banwaves?
Did you know, all the Diablo titles are under a single product umbrella? This is stifling healthy competition between the games in the series - Diablo Immortal (DI), Diablo 2 (D2), Diablo 3 (D3), and Diablo 4 (D4).
The Diablo Team, responsible for the direction of the Diablo franchise is prioritizing the commercial success of Diablo 4. Their focus is on enhancing D4’s battle pass and cash shop. As a consequence, any innovative or impactful solutions proposed for D2 won’t be considered. D4’s commercial success overshadows any other considerations.
Feel free to share ideas, but keep in mind in the current climate, deep diving is pointless, our proposals are pure forum entertainment.
This unfortunately can make people even more angry. They get the feeling someone is messing with them. This is why it is extremely rare for game mechanics to be modified for cheaters.
A way to balance your idea. For the first 25 runs per day, the items are for trade. After 25 runs, items found become account bound. This way it can be clearly stated and encourages people to farm their own items.
