If you use the same email/username and pass for fansites/forums as you do for your account, you are truly stupid and honestly deserve to be hacked.

That is like a form of internet darwin award. Holy crap I can't believe that many people are that dumb. Well, I guess I can.

Edit: I know they said they probably weren't going to do it, but they are probably going to have to go back to the ladder system. I don't see how else they will keep this game afloat currently.

That won't stop gold farmers, but it will make them generally less profitable, especially if they can actually start shutting down some bots.

Either that or gold inflates so badly that it becomes like 3 dollars for a million gold and people don't care to bot for a living now. But then that'd just mean people who just hit 60 are forced into buying gold because any item they find in act 1 is near worthless by that point.

gold is already down to 6-7$/mil on most (botter) forums so 3$ isn't too far off, but hey if I got 100+ accounts making $3 each every ~2hours in a country like china then I'm still doing very good.

$150 an hour is good in any country ...

And since you can run them 24/7, you're looking at 1.3 million a year.

even more so if it's 24/7 and you're free to do other things, you can see why people will do things like this

I was part of a very small operation in d2/wow for a few years, was able to support a wife and 3 kids (in California) while training MMA/Boxing full time.

Blizz likes to wait and do massive ban waves a few months between so they get the most people using the current set of bots before the new wave comes out that are undetected to the current blizz checks, this gives you plenty of time to make large profits to cover the losses of the bans. Who cares that your $60 just got banned when that account has already given you $1k+ in profits.

Thats the thing, you can go do 8hours of work and buy what would have taken you a week or more of boring ass grinding(if you're not abusing the system yourself), and instead just jump right in and have some fun killing everything in sight.

Made me realize something: some people are too cheap to pay $7 for an authenticator. But they'll pay hundreds to buy pixels.

more likely, people are too cheap to pay $15 for a weekend of mlg and bitch bitch bitch about PPV, but they will pay for gold. =D

Honestly I would imagine it'll drop down even further. I'm thinking 25 cents a mil, if that. Even at that price, botting as it exists today is still wildly profitable for next to zero effort.

This is becoming a very huge problem and I expect some huge changes in the near future. If there's a gold flood when the RMAH finally is implemented and gold is basically nothing worth anymore (like 1$/mil) people will gear themselves VERY VERY FAST. Even now, without the inferno nerf, you can defeat the game with good gear relatively easily. You may have to skip a champion pack here and there but it's doable for gear which is worth under 10mil.
Now if the system remains unchanged you can buy good gear by spending like 5-10$, thus allowing everyone to complete Inferno with ease. If there is no challenge anymore, they will quickly quit the game.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You realize items will just increase in price right.. rofl. $10 will get you like a single piece of good gear maybe.

I still think it was a bad idea to have gold drop at all. They keep saying the game is about the item hunt, but they created a means of avoiding item hunting altogether. Gold is fine as a currency, but they could have balanced the sale price of items so that you didn't actually need to have gold dropping at all.

It won't happen now, because gold find is an affix and also attached to at least one skill. But they bought themselves into a lot of this trouble by doing that in the first place. As has been said, it's a lot harder to design bots to farm items the way Blizzard intends players to, but no matter how attractive they try to make it, gold farming will always be an easier option.

Well, wasn't really going to become a gold seller but after searching though few sites realized that those 7$/m aren't actually bullshit like I thought. I can probably make like 3m on average/h on siegebreaker runs which put's me something like 20$/h by playing a game (For the past few days I've had at least 25m/day) and those >400$ just got from a reseller sure came handy.

You should have jumped on the bandwagon sooner little over a week ago it was $33/mil
