Are we able to report characters? If so, we can do our part and while in lobby, report any spambot.
Because they’re in and “active”, unless their system goes down or they somehow crash, they perpetually have a spot that one of us real players could be using.
I’m still an advocate for them creating a task that boots anyone AFK for more than 30mins. Alot of people are logging in, going to work or whatever, and then playing when they get home.
This will benefit the Chinese/Russian botters more than those simply wanting to play. The botters have no problems using 3rd party software to macro and play unattended. These things are able to set up logins and be busy enough to not get booted. Meanwhile people like me who have been in queue for over an hour and still in the hundreds can seemingly leave home, run errands, maybe go out to eat and still come back and not be in game yet or just maybe entering. The whole thing sucks.
Yeah, good point. It seems old school reporting, and hopefully blizz follow-up, is the only way to go in that regard.
It’s nothing to do with server capacity. It’s a part of the original code that does not scale and must be rewritten.
I wish they cared. They don’t. They’re still making money and have done nothing across their other games (e.g., World of Warcraft/Classics) to stop the Chinese/Russian farmer/botters. I think this will be even worse because they can sell items on Ebay. I checked Ebay a little while ago and made it into the 73rd page (with 50 listings per page) and there was still plenty more to go. So that’s over 3500 items for sale right there. If someone tries to deny these bots are not really doing this they need only to hit up Ebay.
An example about Blizzard’s way of handling bots:
I came back to WoW a year ago and went to older zone and found like 20+ accounts botting/farming an area using 3rd party software. I reported them for weeks and nothing was done about it. I finally got a live GM and had him teleport to me and showed him what I was talking about and told him it’s across multiple server types and likely hundreds of accounts at the very moment. He began disconnecting those we were seeing however they were all back within a week under different accounts.
They have been doing this for over 15 years with popular games and nobody seems to stop them. The only time they disappear from a game is when it becomes unprofitable for them to spend time botting/playing the game. This whole thing sucks 
Sadly, I loved Diablo 2 20 years ago, and I like Resurrected when it is playable. However, all of the game breaking bugs, crashes and the Queue make me wish I didn’t buy this game. Almost feel like boycotting Diablo 4 for the same reason. Blizzard needs to fix this, but they do not listen to the player base.
