Would be good if we could ban people that admit to botting. While it will not stop botting, allowing botters will just give a green light to whoever wants to do it. Let it at least be known that most people don't approve of it...
But as this is a starcraft site (well, not any longer, but...) I guess that won't happen.

Bots flooded the auction house and made the prices drop dramatically
For casuals like me it's a good thing cause i can afford items with a very limited budget.
I'm not selling shit but who cares the game is fun to play from times to times
Be nice, buy wards and don't feed double buff.

Cool, maybe it did for you. Not the case for me. I had txt verification enabled evidently, and there is a problem receiving the unlock code now. Thanks for the positive vibes though..lol

So after going 13 runs in a row on MP5 without getting a key I finally get the key I needed. We played ubers yesterday with full team. MP5 again. 1/12 uber bosses drops for me. So now I sit on 2 of one material and 6 of the other, and I still have no ring. RNG my ass, Blizzard hates me.

On which server do you play? If you´re on EU i could probably carry you on MP7-8 with my group. Or you just find yourself someone who can carry you on MP10, i got incredibly unlucky with drop on everything lower than MP7 too...

The RNG of Blizzard may be buggy, or somewhat off. As far as I remember, one dude of elitistjerks did some nice data collection on this a few years ago for WoW, and they noticed a huge variance and standard deviation from the expected values of drops after a certain number of tries, e.g. a lot people would literally go dozens of runs without finding something that supposedly had a 1x% drop chance while a lot of other people would get those items dozens of times in a row, thus evening out the EVs in the distribution but making it feel like a roaler coaster for individual persons.

Back then it seemed like the distribution their RNG was simulating wasn't evenly distributed for all users smoothly, instead there were a lot of spikes. I have no idea if they have an RNG engineer over at Blizzard or something, but I don't think it's completely unlikely that they just used old WoW server RNG code because they deemed it working (don't fix what's not broken), so it might still have the same spikes. This would explain 13+ 50% runs (that's less than a 0.0002% chance) that a lot of people seem to be experiencing.

Well i had 920~~ fair hours of game play on my dh , but it gets really pointless to farm trying to sell something or make gold when you know u'd make at least 5 times that if u bot and that it had been gone unpunished for so long. All my friends were botting and eventually i started as well. I might play again at the expansion but the game is kinda meh either way atm. The softcore economy has no money sink so prices are just crap and only perfect rolls sell.Look in a perfect world I would be the first to hate botting , but its inevitable at this point. My friend is has been using 16 bots , actually he just bought a 2nd pc ofr the sole purpose on going for 16 more , its that profitable. Does it suck for legit players? Hell yes , but after knowing how much items/gold he makes its quite depressing and hard to return to normal play. You might loathe me for it , but actually i have been doing it quite late ( last 2 months only ). And I know people who have been doing it for at least 4-5. I dont think its our fault , but blizzards fault to allow this. Im pretty sure 80% if not more of the gold and items on ah are from bots.

So did this ban wave work properly? How many people got through in your opinion?

While botting has both negative and positive effects, in a game like D3, it only affects the economy - mostly negative with gold deflation, but sometime positive with gem prices. It's not like a first person shooter where a botter would headshot you thru a wall with an aim-bot and ruin your day. It would be like someone raising the price on your AK-47 but making bullets free or somesuch.

I think most people on these forums have either downloaded something ignoring copyrights (*cough* Ted) or bought something online specifically to avoid paying sales tax (Hi 50" TV). Both are technically against the law, but people do it anyways because it is so easy to get away with. Periodic ban waves ain't going to do anything. I'm sure 90% of the recent deals for Diablo 3 for $10 are being used to bot. >_>

Wish they could make the game so that it would be impossible to write good bots. On the other hand, as soon as a game starts to be about farming it's an indication it isn't that great. If your bot isn't there to do the work, that means you'll have to do that implicitly repetitive task.

Very true. But the very thought about the farming process, and the necessity or partaking in it to be able to compete in the endgame, makes me tired before having started. This process makes the game unsuited for a percentage of players ( including me), but I can understand that for some of them this is one of 3 options (besides putting in lots of time or quitting).

This sort of thinking is something I have trouble understanding. The farming is the endgame (given that PVP is nowhere in sight). How is a slot machine competitive? Pulling the lever faster? Upon what are you setting your benchmark? Is it the Top-100 geared players? The record holders? IMO, if you're competing with anyone other than yourself in Diablo 3 you cease to be playing for fun and, more power to you, the game is probably not a good fit for you.
