Do you mean “streamers” playing Diablo II Communism with “friends” doing them free-labor that I wrote about along with fixes in the below topic?

Anyone who played D2 and understands it knew this would happen.

Everyone knows the firsters don’t do it on their own, but its still pretty crazy what the teams accomplish on such a short time frame. If you are a regular player you can’t compare yourself to them or their team play style. Put your best effort in and be happy with what you accomplish on your own.

Whoever said there is no “i” in team:

I honestly don’t care about the leader boards. It’s usually teams working together, which is fine.

I’ll just keep trucking along with my current level 25 Paladin, because I’m a legend in my own mind. :smiley:

It really isn’t crazy nor difficult playing Diablo II Communism, lol.

Diablo II Communism player: “Drop rates are fine and there is no need for ploot and player x command. Game perfect lols”.

Let’s not also forget they abuse FGs.

How is this “cheating”? Are they using some sort of software that makes the game easier? Or do you consider having friends a cheat?

Also, how exactly is one person being carried by 30 others? And what exactly is preventing you from getting the same support?

Cheating is gaining an unfair advantage, if you don’t see how they’re doing that then I am not the right person to write to you lol.

Other than playing Diablo II Communism they also abuse FGs.

Correct, but can you explain again how having friends is an unfair advantage? And what is preventing you from getting the same advantage?

They’re not even “friends” to start with, their whole goal is to boost one person to be the “#1”.

What is preventing me is I do not have people doing free-labor for me because I am not a “streamer” and also, I am not interested in playing Diablo II Communism. I like to play it the way it is designed to be played.

And also also, I do not like abusing FGs. Not to mention the fact there is real money also involved with what they are doing.

To make it more clear: No one is complaining about legit group of people working together. Those people in the top are using MANY people to get items for them, fill their games up, along other things. That’s the cheating part.

There is nothing thats ever going to be done about this, so you might as well save your energy and stop thinking about it.

There are things that can help. For example, player x command and personal loot.

The game punishes people for playing solo, and for playing in a group. The only winners are the abusers!

Nothing else out currently I’m interested in. So I’ll do my 3 characters for this season, play through DI story when it comes out and then maybe dig through my library for a replay until season 2.

I guess it depends on how you look at it. Could anyone do it if they are a well organized team? Yes probably, but the average person isn’t going to dedicate that much uninterrupted time to a video game. “Crazy” is a bit of hyperbole, but it was a single word use so I didn’t have to type a lot.
