I hope the next patch will clear out all the bots in-game.
You must be a glutton for disappointment. Even if they did clear out the bots with a banwave, theyâd bounce right back with their hoards of spare accounts theyâve purchased when the game was on sale.
Face it, Blizzard is powerless to stop botting⌠The botters own Blizzard.
By ruining the trade-value of every single item in the game? In the earlier seasons when bots were not so rampant I could find a useful unique like magefist and trade it after day 5. Now it is impossible. Even when I find an item that would otherwise have some trade value people do not need it anymore because there are 50 bot farms with a thousand accounts each that have already flooded the economy with these things.
Some people including Baalor are simply clueless when it comes to economics. Youâre wasting your time trying to explain. (Many including myself have already tried.) These people are happy with the current situation because they get their shakos sooner, and anything that makes their shakos take longer to get is bad. These are the same people that want /players X to come to closed Battle.net, more frequent high runes and endgame items dropping, the nerfing or elimination of any monster that can possibly kill them⌠Basically anything to speed the game up and make it easier.
the only bug i have noticed personally was my auradin getting caught in a sarcophagus when he charges in tombs
And 1 month later⌠Elden Ring DLC, decisions decisionsâŚ
Yeah, and the recent ânext genâ update for Fallout 4, which basically did nothing but introduce more bugs. I swear, Bethesdaâs programming language they use to make their games is âbugâ. 
The TV series was good though, it sure did generate a ton of hype for the games.

Now that you mentioned it, I restarted playing Fallout 4 after watching the series. It was pretty good, except for the girly âbrother of steelâ, totally has no place with that faction.

Rinse and Repeat.
I guess Iâll pass.
While i dont like RMT the argument that it ruins the value of items ingame is not quite true. What ruins the economy is bots flooding the market with tons of items and not the RMT itself. Its supply and demand that determine the ingame value and not RMT which is why bots and things like duping back in the old days is the main reason an economy gets ruined, they simply produce too much supply. To be honest if there was no bots and no duping the economy would be fine regardless of a few people using RMT since the supply and number of items on the server is the same, who the item belong to and how this person bought it doesnt really matter cause the ingame value stays the same because of the supply being the same. That being said i dont think RMT should be in the game but u cant make a trade game without someone trying to make a few $ on RMT, and i really dont think the economy is too awfull these days compared to back when duping was at its highest in D2 LoD
What ruins the economy is lack of seasonal changes. There are 100 bots for every 1 legit player. The player to bot ratio needs to drastically change. Either stop the bots or get more players. Preferably both.
If there wasnât real money to be made via RMT, would there be rampant bot farming, though?
Sure there would likely be a few players running bots while they sleep/work to get XP/gear as there always is, but the actual commercial bot farms that are in it to sell items for money on their websites and that flood the chat and games with advertising spam wouldnât exist if they couldnât make money.
So I mean yeah, youâre technically correct, but the two are closely related in many cases.
The problem is not the bots. It is the people who choose to buy because they do not want to play the game. Few people buying gear (vs finding/trading for it) eliminates most bots.
Isnât that a cycle? Like if there are more people that is more people to sell to, which means theyâre just going to launch more bots.
There is no way to eliminate the buyers though, at least without eliminating the amount of botters right?
There is via trade restrictions, such as account bound items and allowing a 2 hour window of trade with those that were in the game when the item dropped. It worked for Diablo 3.
But nobody wants that, because that will âkillâ the pixel pushing game as theyâve known it. Plus it will kill the passive income for those RMT bot rings that have many account voices. And finally it will kill Blizzards on-demand income for the game when they do banwaves and RMT botters rebuy the game.
I guess I meant more directly in getting rid of those who purchase rather than eliminating an entire aspect of the game for the most part. If you leave the 2 hour window open still there could be instance of buying all drops off someone during that window for nothing.
And youâre right that does at lest partially kill the RMT market, though IIRC there is still RMT ways to progress faster or get drops no? I recall seeing something about paid services for that game, but I didnât play enough to have a reference on it so I could be mistaken.
But you are right that would indeed kill the trading in the game and profit botting and RMT trading for the most part.
Because itâs a black market, there is no direct way.
The only way is indirectly by either restricting trade, or by increasing drops so much that everything is worthless, making trading pointless.
