Didn’t they literally reset a few leaderboards to compensate? and delete chars or rollback or w/e they did. I saw the DH board after the reset and was so confused haha.
Botting has been an issue since pre-paragon. I agree that it’s frustrating a f, but sadly this is not a new issue and 100% will NOT be fixed anytime soon.
If you can’t be happy with “top 100” leaderboard spots (you could viably get top 50 on most boards before you get “bot-walled”) then unfortunately this is just not the game to play. It’s kind of like playing RAID: Shadow Legends and wanting to compete with the people spending $500/mo on the game…you just can’t do it.
Your addiction to quitting might be a bigger issue to look at.
Doesn’t Blizzard usually issue a pinned notice when a new exploit is found and that states to stop using it? Is an official notice required before they can begin banning people for it?
They absolutely have issued public warnings before…
The announcement includes…
First, utilizing a group buff to progress in solo Greater Rifts is not intended and will be considered cheating. Players found using this mechanic may have their accounts suspended or closed, based on severity of abuse as well as previous account history.
We ask that you do not make use of this exploit in the meantime while we are working to deploy a patch.
Am i one of the few rares that just want to escape reality when gaming and stop all this competition that you see in real life ?
Do people really need to be the best in VIDEO games ? Doesnt anyone want to escape this pressure of real life , competing with one another , doing your best to earn a living , etc …
Gaming used to be a cartridge you put in your console or a disc , floppy disc you insert into your pc … wasnt about comparing one to another just like real life does …
You get a warning when you agree to the terms and conditions of the game before you can even play your first game, so when exactly weren’t we warned
Yes I do think it’s highly hypocritical when you say that and also say
Why aren’t they allowed to have fun with their WD like you want to have fun with what you choose and yet you critisize them and do exactly the same to us as you accuse us of doing
Ever since I got my first NES back in the 80:s we compared our skill with the various games. Now I don’t care about the boards, but you can be sure I still rub my friends the wrong way if I beat them and vice versa.
How can you possibly win when 5 mins after start of season you quit, can’t win if you don’t even try and then use excuses that it’s everyone elses fault that you always quit
Losing will never be fun for someone who can’t handle even the concept of being wrong. It shows serious lack of self worth generally.
Look at the undefeated boxers/fighters who lose their first fight and disappear off into the mists of memory. Then you have the true champs, those that take a loss and come back stronger than ever before. The difference is 100% mental and nothing to do with physical ability.
I’m not a huge fan of losing per se, but without a doubt I have learned far more from losing than winning. That applies all across life but to games and games theory especially.
For me, winning isn’t fun without challenge, struggle and growth.
If people were really honest with themselves they would realize even if every cheater were permanently banned the vast majority of us still wouldn’t make it onto the leader board at all. The inability to realize your true competition in yourself first is a moral failing. Defeating others is a goal. Conquering your limitations is a victory.
I don’t care at all about the boards or the competitive component in any game, I still prefer to see cheaters dealt with for the sole reason they are cheating.
