Bots don't give a fuck that they're getting less gold, botters still earn more botting than not. People really quit the game because they're not "forced" to smash pots or click on the same chest over and over to stay competitive with people making money in the most efficient/boring way possible? If you take out boring, efficient methods of getting gold you deflate the economy and make it so actually playing the game gives you more purchasing power. | ||

This, IMO. It's a shame that Blizz put themselves in an awkward position where they're really unable to reverse the damage that botters have done. We're only seeing the tip of the iceberg now--the brunt of it's going to come out with the RMAH. | ||

As a barb geared just short of Act 2, this hotfix has made me quit until 1.0.3. Warden/butcher runs give me dismal gold and really god awful rares; I can kinda progress in Act 2 by skipping all champion packs (yay?); I don't particularly want to 'play' the AH (don't really have the starting money for it either). Farming pots, although boring (less if I watched SC2 streams simultaneously), was a good way to get money for upgrades. Maybe there's an other solution I haven't thought of, and if so, I'd would love to hear it. | ||

 .What i think would be fair to everyone is just to reset everyone to 0 items, 0 gold after making every exploit fix possible. Right now those who managed to exploit all the earlier easy runs are so way ahead of the other players. | ||

Iskatu hasn't been nerfed yet, so you can still average between 500k-1mil an hour from Iskatu runs, depending on your luck. And yes, Iskatu farming is possible on a Barb with A1/A2-level gear. | ||

I'll second this. Botters and exploiters pretty much ruined the game and market. At this point, i think blizzard should wipe everything ,before money auction house comes out, as soon as they remove all exploits even though I'm sure many people will be pissed. Either that or include a ladder system like d2 where it gets reset at time intervals. | ||

Only hope is for server wipes on SC accounts. I've heard that Blizzard did wipe servers before in diablo 2, though I don't remember it and can't seem to find any information about that. In any case, the RMAH date would seem like a logical point to perform such a wipe, effectively removing anyone gaining an unfair advantage via bots/hacks. And to be honest, I wouldn't mind replaying this game because that's what this game is about anyways. Any gold/items I found sucked anyways and used AH gear anyways. ahah itsben beat me to it  | ||

In fairness, even if they do include a Ladder, it would have to be after they clear up some more of the abusable stuff. There's still stuff that people are farming that they haven't nerfed yet. | ||

Obviously someone who knows more about this sort of thing feel free to tell me why I'm wrong. For now I'm not too worried about the economy in this game. | ||

As other people have suggested, given the damage botting and exploits have caused, it would be best to reset the whole mess after all the fixes have been ironed out, like they should have been in beta. But of course Blizzard wouldn't do that - owning up to your own incompetence is bad for PR, and they don't want to put up with the massive outcry that comes with deleting everybody's characters. | ||
