A bot is a character being controlled through automated processes, like scripts or external programs. They are used by players who want to collect items and XP without actually being at their computer to do the work.
I have a question about botting. I was wondering how to recognise bot leecher? what I mean is what is game developer doing to prevent some guy to intentionally take(buy) 3 other accounts set them to bot on 3 other pc, and set them to drop items they farm while playing legit on primary account .. for exsample isn't it obvious something fishy is going on on leader boards with that blackbird guy(eu) ... he has already 8 primal ancient equipment... when I compare him to other players they usually have 3-5 peces of equipment...also he is 3000 para and I am 1400 and I don't have single one usefull peace of equipment while he has 8 maby more..
That's a good point. If have some external bot account that drops and farms primals/ancients for you the actual playtime won't be reflected on your account. Even if you look legit. Play with others that bot could be impactful as well. If you play with someone that cheats uses thud or whatever that advantage will transfer if you play together in a 4 man group.

Paragon and items don't help you to find botters, there are also players with insane gear who don't play a lot and there are also players with as high paragon as him, who are just playing 12h a day with a group. They don't do anything else than efficient GR grinding. You can do the following: View Profile, go to Season 10 tab, check the playtime for each class. There are players with high paragon, who have 10-12 h / day and players with 22 h / day. I made a spreadsheet about playtime for the top 10 solo Leaderboards for EU and US. You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1o0w0sZOYqqQsEKFoJnj9i-J7b1O0QxAK6sw2FgidCPc/edit?usp=sharing
I'm not saying that players with low playtime are legit! But the percentage of botters is much higher among players with 20h playtime compared to players with half as much.
Jeez, still a lot of cheaters...

takes you less time to google it then asking on a forum. goes for most questions.
