So tl dr: You don’t pay enough for effective security and it’s pointless anyways. I’m just saying if they do it again, count yourself lucky. How much time do you think it would take for a competent team to eat up the entire D3 budget? D3 is $15 forever on the right holiday sale and how many resources have they put into banning bots overall? One lowly developer is $50/hr plus benefits unless it’s a contractor.

WoW is $15/mo and they still have a bot problem. If you want to pump money into D3 every month, great, but as you’re playing a game that’s essentially free minus a small activation fee, the failure here is probably more on the expectation than the delivery.

Somebody’s always the bigger exploiter of mechanics and/or always more lucky.įinally, every time they banned bots in D2, the bots just became stronger. Secondly, again, what other people do does not matter to anybody else in the slightest unless you, for some reason, are obsessed with leader boards and let’s face it, you’re not going to reach the top no matter what you do. Beyond like 10 hours total in a season, you’re basically accomplishing 0.0005% of anything at all.

If you use a bot that only reads the memory and simulates keypress/clicks you wont get banned (unless you bot 24/7/365). Right, but why D3? This is probably the worst way to waste your time if you have obscene amounts to spare. It depends on the kind of bot you use, if you use one that injects memory (demonbuddy or honorbuddy or whatever is the diablo equivalen of the wow bot) you will get banned sooner or later. I play 10 hours or more a day, (spinal fusion) means you cant a whole lot.
