I noticed some ways that were extremely easy for bots to farm content.
- Tiny cellar spaces
These were able to be reset. It wouldn’t take long for someone to code a bot to run inside, spam some spells, reset and run back in.
An easy fix to this is to just make them not be able to be reset. Do it once and have to wait for a cooldown. Triple goblin spawns with legendries being sent to stash? This is going to be a bot problem.
- Certain high lvl elites existed in the overworld. I believe people were standing next to them waiting for respawn as the loot was so good and they were probably too lazy to walk round and do dungeons.
An easy fix to this would be make them spawn in random locations around the overworld. Or even if they have fixed spawn locations give them at least 5 and make it random which one they spawn at. That way a bot wouldn’t find this easy to farm.

Would appreciate a report system in game so people can report bots we see standing around at events.

You collect xp and even get drops without tagging enemies. I can see why this was done but I think it can be improved. If you haven’t attacked anything in the last 5-10 seconds you don’t get any xp from other peoples kills. This would at least make sure players can’t just stand there next to the event with a script that just makes them move every now and then.
The main issue here is content that is so simple to complete, it requires only a few metres of travel and is able to be reset or respawns quickly.
Not only is this a really boring gameplay loop that even normal players will exploit. If it’s better than adventuring around and completing more interesting content, IE dungeons. Then it will even be used by players that don’t necessarily want to participate in activity like this.
I think dungeons should always be the most efficient way to farm items. They are after all the most important and fun part of Diablo.

Everything will be easy to bot. Bots get better by the day my dude.
All that can be done is detection and enforcing EULA and TOS. Better detection, faster response.
If history has shown us anything, blizzard lacks severely there, and that is the only problem they can resolve on their end other than eliminating trade entirely. You will still have botters for personal gain but not financially though, specifically during season for levels and gear.
I just suggested a bunch of other stuff that can be done.
Your suggestions will detur bad macros. Not bots.
Bots won’t be visible. They will be running dungoens negating the report feature.
If they were to be dumb enough to run open world, they’d run patterns of the random spawn points you suggested, and will be tagging and fighting.
Why have you got a problem with this? Lol so obvious you bot dude probably scanning the bug forums for ways to exploit the game.
If even a simple macro can complete this type of farming that’s exactly my point.
Make it hard so only really sophisticated bots not some kid with a macro can exploit the game.
Are you dumb?
I know about bots. I want them eliminated. Simply because your ideas wouldn’t do anything and I’m pointing that out doesn’t mean I’m against it. It is explaining why it won’t work, and why it’s dumb.
Don’t be mad your simple ideas in which you think you’re the onnnly one whose ever thought of, and you just fixed the bot problem won’t work at all.
If you can’t see how this will help you shouldn’t be speaking on the issue and clearly are too dumb to understand.
I’ve explained why it won’t do anything AND what actually needs to be done, the fact you’re so stuck on stupid ideas that have already been circumvented is whats dumb.
You even admit it yourself a simple macro can do this. A macro is a bot so by your own statement you admit this would stop this from happening.
You’re obviously just a cheater that thinks his dumb comments would stop Blizzard from doing anything because you replied with this trash tier statement that anyone with a brain will just ignore.
Again, knowing how things work doesn’t mean that. The fact you DONTis reason for you to stop posting. Until you do, you won’t understand how to actually resolve the issue.
Lol.
Shadap cheater no one is listening to your flawed logic.
And people with more braincells than a jar of mayo know your ideas won’t work, and what I’ve stated is the only way. The people that understand how it works should be the ones helping rid the issue because they k ow what bots can and can’t do. You don’t. You are stating things a child would think of, and thst the adults have already thought up and worked around.
Your ideas have already been rendered useless
Again, detection, strict and swift enforcement, and bans is the only way.
Lol whatever bot maker I love how mad this makes you that people are reporting bugs that stop you being able to cheat.
I’m not mad. One more time, since you’re slow. I want them gone too.m, and for the third time, I’ve even said how it HAS to be done, there’s NO way around it.
Ignorance is mildly frustrating, and you’re a huge display of it.
You are the mad one, because I’ve destroyed your ideas in which you’re so proud of with avout 10 seconds of logic and knowledge, and now you’re just trying to save face by deflecting.
Dude you’re definitely mad if you’re gonna make up reasons this won’t work but obviously can’t comprehend no one cares or will read your comments and agree.
Definitely mad bro lol cheers for the laugh.
I’m making nothing up. They are objective facts, and have already been done in other games, and believe it or not, this one too.
