16 hours a day at gr150 within 6 minutes will take 128 days to get from 0 to 10000 according to maxroll. Allowing for a week or two to get where that gr150 becomes possible as s27 is running for 142 days now.
Going from 0 to 11000 will take 20 hours a day to fit within the 142 day s27 run time (137 days).
Feasible yes, but not for many. Only a very few. Especially the 11k… lol…
I have been playing a lot in my opinion and are at para 3200. I cannot imagine enjoying playing d3 for 16 hours a day. Some may though.
Although botting might seem likely, we still do not have proof. Blizzard does.
Did you factor in sleeping, eating, town down time, farming keys, gearing, augments…
Calculations need to be realistic lol.
No 10k isnt possible for a human.
The 11k isn’t actually playing, its a bot.
Not making an excuse for botters, but at this point this isn’t even a season anymore. It actually stopped being a season probably a month ago and we’re playing NS with this amount of length. Assuming at least 2 week spread between actual PTR and actual patch drop which the process will start 2 weeks from now (so total 6) we’re looking at nearly half a year “season”. So these things become less surprising and more comparable to NS.
The issue is how long will it take for you to reach that spot that you can clear GR150 in 6 minutes.
Also, I did the same calculation; 6 minutes clear in GR150 at 4 players within’ 16 hours average per day and I get 135 days as a result. If fully pooled by reflection bonuses that time reduces down to 95 days. Let’s reduce the player number to one for solo clear by keeping the clear time to 6 mins, and required day becomes 152 days without reflection pools (that surpasses season time) and 106 with mass amount of pool stacks.
Can a group afford to find pools non-stop without a dedicated pool finder and play as 3-player in 4p setup for a while yet still clear at 6 minutes? What happens if solo player dies once in the Greater Rift? It’s a nuisance to go out there and seek pools. There are many variables to this. Your only comfort from all this is; pools are being really efficient and it can make up for your losses when used right. Rest of this deal is a conundrum and always gonna stay that way.
I usually can’t take it anymore at around 2k paragon, and it takes 2-3 weeks. That’s probably less than 1% the xp a bot needs for 9.5k. D3 is the ideal game for bots, with millisecond accurate skill rotations, endless grind and loot filtering. A real person can never compete with that.
Ill take your word for it. But 150s is not the way to go for xp, the fact that you used 150s shows you do not know about max xp gains. If you were to take 127s speeds in 1min30, 30 sec town time with always pooled (as there is always a poolboy in the party) you will come to a 90 days with 16h per day played. Now you cant do 127s in the 1st week ofcourse and you will need keys for the gr, so is it super likely, no, but it was just to show calculations are often off by the non dedicated group grinder and it just skewers the view on it and thus jumping the gun on calling people cheaters (not directed at you specifically).
right here is where your views are tainted and it has been pointed out to you many times as to how you view anyone else who does not play like you is cheating , and it comes down to your view of metas and efficient xp farming , lets look at this season and what people are running and xp per hour they are making , alot in my clan are running 128 speeds averaging around the 15 tr xp per hour mark with pools , running that efficient it would take 1 to go from 0 to 10k in approx 1093 hours , now would you say someone who has that playtime is cheating ? or maybe that person is been very very efficient with there playtime and understands how to maximise xp gains , 1093 hours is approx 45 days playtime , now ill let you do the maths on how long season has been going , and how many hours per day they have been playing etc etc , but DONT quote things as been impossible when its quite clear you dont understand the meta and how efficient xp farming works and the xp per hour these guys are achieving legitmately i may add
It’s a double-wide season because it’s run so long so people are going to hit higher paragon levels. Plus the XP builds this season are excellent. My monk can do sub 3 minute 139s on a good map. 4 minutes on a normal one. DH does 2-4 minute 128s with strafe impale. Barb can do 3-5 minute 125s, same with crusader.
I usually don’t get this high paragon during the season but one thing I noticed is that the XP pools get nutty the higher paragon you are. My pools are over a trillion points now which is equal to like 700 regular paragons. It’s almost like the higher paragon I get the easier it is to get more.
I’m not sayin 10k paragons is obtainable without computer assistance but 5-6k shouldnt be uncommon for legit players who play the whole season.
I played with somebody that has high paragon on the leader board. It was in a bounty game. He really did more bounties then every body else. At that time about 8 to 10 weeks or more he was at 7424 on paragon. He had played about 1508 hrs on the character.
Yes there are cheaters out there that play. But there are people that live, breathe, eat, and sleep on this game. I have a friend that was that way. As soon as he got up. He would sit in front the computer for hrs playing on line video games. He would even eat when he was playing. Go to sleep for few hrs and back at again.
Many, not all, but many people’s math is wrong when it comes to calculating playtime averages, so it’s not just him. It’s best to let them have it though. When you get into them trying to explain it, the confusion only gets worse.
My favorite was a guy about a month ago who said some guy averaged 18 hours per day and was absolutely a bot when it was actually only 9. A guy playing an amount of time that is nowhere near atypical is now being branded a cheater. That’s the problem with the gaming world and witch hunters. When you have incompetent people trying to make a hypothesis, it doesn’t pan out well.
