Just saw this is in a Chinese forum....
With this kind of set up (15 diablo 3 running in each computer with a central controlling one), I cannot imagine how much gold/ items they produce every minute. No wonder better items are now approaching the billions. Gold Auction House really not for the "casual" gamers.

For those interested to join, they are hiring someone to look after the botting machines, for Rmb 2100 per month! Sound much better than making iPhone parts in a factory!
Is it really that hard to detect botting in a game, this is really crazy.
p.s. Now you know where the US account deficit is coming from.

this is so messed up.
MMORPGs still cannot stop cheaters.

Of course everyone sensible knows about this. But seeing it with your own eyes always gives you stronger impression. Wow.

Actually you can see the improvement of Chinese farming technology from the pictures. Back in the good old days, farming is done by hand; but with the rising labor cost, many farming corporations start to use high tech farming machinery.
China is moving from a labor intensive economy to a capital intensive economy fast.
Exporting to US and Europe did improve the lives of many of my countrys comrades.

SC2 reigns supreme! Can't bot your way to skills XD XD
|
How the hell would any computer be able to run 15 copies of D3 at the same time while also running that many bots?

I know i remember seeing chinese farmers house back in the wow glory days. Botting became so efficient that you set up this "artificial farmers" which require no payment (well the only payment you will get is sporadic ban, but its still way cheaper than paying a human). Not only this, but bots became extremely efficient even despite content nerfs.
Im afraid Blizzard will make some stupid, stupid content nerf that will be 10 times bigger than vase nerf. I mean the problem may become big enough that blizzard will elimininate botters via eliminating any form of repetetive farming(which will also kill legal farming...). Or they turn blind eye on this.
No other answer to this, seeing how their securities were breachable in their entire history of multiplayer.

Why not turn those monitors off to save some electricity, especially when each screen can be viewed from the central computer?
|
This is insane.
And the guy above, just so they can monitor that everything is going perfectly I guess, to monitor both hardware and software issues.
|
If this was done by people and not by bots, would it have been considered cheating?

No. Farming is allowed. What is not allowed is farming using scripted programs.

Look at the high-memory instances.

I don't know if that's cheating but using any third party program is against the EULA.
Now using people to actually do the job wouldn't break the EULA but *could* fall under labor/criminal law. That's a big "could" : depends on both the conditions of work and chinese laws.
That pictures is quite impressing, wonder what the bot actually do? I'd imagine they simply farm the AH, but apparently not, they seem to play the game... ?

I've known about this, but to actually see in real life it makes you go O_o.

That's not cheating though. That's botting. A technology which has been developed far more swiftly than its technical countermeasure.
