Will be there any action against botters?

Only sith thinks in absolutes.

Ok, you told us your opinion, you know the best. Of course you know when i stopped playing, i stopped pushing / actively playing last Tuesday, it means in that time they had at max +150-300 more paragon than me, but again you with 200 paragon and no progress knows better.

You may ask why i created this topic now, if i would done it last week, there wasnt enough days to have any proof of possible botting, also no one of their clan was in LB and i knew they are the best example

This has been an ongoing issue for WAY too long now.
I hope they do something.
Here is an interesting read that someone posted in my anti-cheat thread a while back.

With your logic i can say: “Only someone with 500+ paragon have right to comment on forum”. You are totally wrong on so many levels. You just showed yourself.

I’m tired of reading posts on gen forum from cry babies that complain about ppl that play more then them and have higher paragon.

I never ever cried about someone who has high paragon and get it legit way, but i dont like botters and dont be pathetic, someone who is playing 22hours per day isnt playing by himself.

What specific benefit is there for blizzard to ban botters? Nevermind how botting impacts our perception of the game and company thereof.

It should be reputation and creating more trust in future customers in actual or future projects, but well we all know how reality looks :confused:

With the current policy blizzard takes against botters it will not work.
To make it work correctly would be to ban the entire blizzard acct and all games on that acct as well as bann the users internet protocol number. another issue is botters can buy another acct and then run that acct through vpn that will change the ip number again the most effective way would be for blizzard to make a deal with an anti cheat company where i would need to install a secondary program that monitors all apps on the users system this includes vpn programs

Casual players are not attracted to a game where the perception is that cheating is permitted.

I am a disabled vet. I can not work anymore. I mostly play D3 anywhere from 10-16 hours a day. I can’t react fast enough to play a true MMO anymore. I use and play D3 to keep my mind off my health issues and not so great thoughts. I guess its my suicide prevention game. Anyway, my point is not all players who play 12+ hours a day are botters. You shouldn’t always assume…

There is a point where it would be physically impossible to play for X amount of hours per day. When you have other things like bio breaks, eating food, cooking, etc… Count those that are not like you and you will see what happens when you add other real life issues such a work, school, social life, etc…

So unless someone supports them round the clock by doing things for them while they play D3 it would be safe to assume these ones are botting.

Sure for a short stretch of time players might be able to binge play D3 for more than 16 hours a day. But over the course of a month or more then it just doesn’t add up.

There is no way that anyone can play for around 22 hours a day as you will see going on in seasons. Just look at their seasonal record for season 19 then figure it out on your own. Outside of the cooking, eating, bio breaks there is sleep.

There is a report of a person that died playing a video game for more than 40 hours straight. So don’t try and tell us not to assume when there is a good reason why we do make those assumptions.

Hello, im sorry for your health issues, anyway no one assume that all players who play 12+ hours per day are botters, i never mentioned that, i never wrote that, this thread was never about that. I wrote concrete example with player who is playing 21.8+ hours per day and is probably same player who had in season 18 playtime 22.5 hours per day whole season.

Did anyone actually read my topic? There are already few players offended by something what i didnt even write.

Agreed, I have seen a barb in this season that already has a play time of 21.5 hours per day. That means there is just two and half hours per day for things like sleeping , bathing, eating, cooking. etc… There is just no way a human being can do that for that long of a period of time without botting. There was a person that died playing D3 for 40 straight hours.

This is how we can say with confidence that those ones are botting.

This is unfortunately a standard among the top leaderboards that the Hacks team needs to work on.
They could easily use total hours played to get a giant list of botters.
This is assuming their in game anti cheat is not already working.

No. Actiblizard will do nothing. No bans for over two years.
Maintenance Mode.

You must have been living under a rock the past week.
A game dev said bots time is coming soon.

“soon” by bliz means about two more years

First off he is only 200 P this season what about the 18 seasons before this one
And how can you argue if you are going to take a break and fall behind and then complain about it
Jealous that some people may have more time to play then you but because they are bigger than you they must have botted and you having a break has nothing to do with it

And yet you have already said that about someone that is 200 paragon so you have the exact same logic

Looks like you are crying about it because you took time off and no longer top of the board and now think that everyone above you is a botter
and while 22hours is a possible botter it doesn’t eliminate the fact that a second person is allowed to operate the account as well, something along the lines of a minor allowed to use the account as well
So your 22 hours gotten by 2 people is legal but you automatically call them botters, whats your proof that they are actually botting seeing as your 22 hours can be done legitimately with 2 people

And how long is soon?
and is that your soon or a blizzard soon

Anything can happen as far as botting goes in this game. So I wouldn’t say that they will still keep doing nothing forever.

Those accounts still need to be flagged and investigated. That is what should be done. Then if it is not against the rules then nothing is done.

I can’t say for seasons, but non season did recently have a ban. Last time I looked the rank 1 3-man team was missing the names of 2 of it’s team members, meaning they got banned and the their names removed from the leaderboards. The 2 players that got banned were both 8 or 9 k paragon. I am not a fan of bannings but the community should show a little appreciation or atleast acknowledgement to the dev team when one does in fact take place. As a leaderboard clean up did take place, just go through the list of names and as long as their names aren’t listed above in a higher leaderboard slot, then they did in fact get banned if not listed with their team members. Rank #1 3-man just happened to be the one to stick out to me. It’s unfortunate for me in this case because one of the people banned I knew and had grinded out hundreds of hours of rat runs with a few era’s back, although I haven’t played with them for awhile as I took about a year off. Oh well.
