will it be the same for all the “players” who did GR 150 solo ?
if we look Diabloprogresss , we can see 9 toons at GR 150 .
Obvious he does not care about getting banned . Clearly impossible to do with zbarb. Maybe he did it to do as a joke.

It’s nice to see the swift action to take care of this. But it would be cool if you guys could take some swift action on fixing the game. It’s great not being able to play with friends because there is no way to invite them because they show as non-seasonal, even though they are playing seasonal. Still wondering why banning people for various reasons is taking so much precedence over fixing a game that is not new by any means but feels like it’s in Beta.

I’ll take this as an official, conclusive statement that the use of TurboHUD is strickly prohibited. There’s been people trying to find any excuse to use it.
Also it’s a good to react to the S19 theme exploit quickly but the thing is it shouldn’t have been allowed to even go live. It should’ve been patched right after PTR.

Thanks, Nev, but I think I confused things by mentioning a 3-player team clearing a 2-player GR. That’s obviously exploiting.
However, what about a 4-player team clearing a 4-player GR using the same tactics? That’s not having anyone outside helping you, etc? It’s clearly unintended to me, but I’ve already heard folks talking about doing it for 4-player clears.
There was a fix after the PTR to an aspect of it. Players are inventive though. At least that is my current understanding of what happened.
I would take the comments about other forms of cheating being actionalbe to heart. It would be very wise to take it as warning that any and all forms of cheating can result in account penalties.
EDIT -
Nev responded in the THUD thread that Producer Matthew Cederquist commented in. He had reminded folks that actions were coming regarding all third party software and bots and a statement would be made.
A player asked when that would be. Response today.

I think the community appreciates your response. I just hope you mean what was said as most of us can see the cheaters on the leaderboards as it is not rocket science. I enjoyed the first Diablo and purchased it when it first came out and have purchased the rest as they came out. Yea, I am old but I do think as far as play-ability your games are some of the best. Just please keep this game fair to all. Thank you.

Added a little clarity to that statement.

Eggman should not be banned or suspended.
Reason : You guys didnt do a proper ptr and he is doing testing now on live servers to tell you guys not to rush a patch without thorough acceptance tests.
Eggman is a highly skilled player. You guys should consider getting him onboard for consultancy purposes.

Oh I know Matthew had a good post about the time frame for actions the other day. I will quote it so players can have all this stuff in one place. The how and when, will never be announced, if I understand Blizz policy.

There are some clans using the exploit to level gems to lvl 140 they are doing it with bad time to hide from blizz eyes. Do gems will get rolled back or deleted too ?

If he was doing it for “testing” he should have reported it, and not abused it on all the different classes.
He is 100% guilty

Thanks for the swift response regarding the abuse of the exploit, i just hope that the banning of bots will happen as swift as this was, , just the other day i reported 2 people in my clan for botting, they left their game open to others and was easy to see their chars botting by opening rift guardian on another floor and plus the fact they dont answer chat/whispers and ofc playtime.

It really does not matter now.
What is important is that our GIANT, Blizzard is waking up!!!
Awesome blue post there.

Good work team, thanks for all of your efforts of keeping the leaderboards as fair and balanced as possible.

Everything else, great. But this:
Pardon me while I don’t hold my breath. Looking over S18 leaderboards and how you did nothing is a joke. Looking at S19 leaderboards and the amount of blatant bots is absurd.
Do. Something.

Blatantly false. If that were true, he’d do it once, publish it, and not do it again. He did it repeatedly on basically every class. He was plainly abusing it.

Agreed, he could of also got to the RG and quit so he didn’t impact the leaderboards. He did it for attention, nothing more, nothing less.

Can you comment on those who argue that this was known in the PTR and Blizzard acquiesced to this exploit?
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for the information and reply to my post.
This is another precise answer and it is well said.
BUT:
- Can you detect the most famous and most used 3rd party programm TH?
- Did you get in touch with its developer? Did you warn him?
- Are you making changes to the UI, so players " don’t feel forced to cheat" ?
- How important is the impact of this tool FOR YOU @Blizzard?
We know now, that you are against it, that hasn’t been clearer than ever now. For this post, thanks a lot!
But we do want to know, if there will be drastic changes to work around/treat the issues?
That well written statement doesn’t bring us anything if nothing changes on the BIG PICTURE.
I hope you understand the big concern about this specific tool.
Thanks again for the post
