Quoted from the exploitation article …

From today’s Patch Notes …
REGION-SPECIFIC GAME ADDITIONS
Below you will find region-specific updates coming to the version of Diablo Immortal available in China.
Auto-Battle Feature
A feature has been added that automates gameplay for the player, inputting their character movements and behavior. We have no plans to bring this feature to all regions in a future update.
So, hold on, am I getting this straight? If players on the US or EU servers automate gameplay, you’re going to give them suspensions / bans. Okay, fair enough. However, at the same same time you’re actually implementing ways for players on the China servers to have in-game automated gameplay?
Please clarify why US/EU players get (rightly) punished for automation but China players get in-game functionality to help them automate.
