Is this why the game is super laggy today??? The botters, or whatever is going on?
The botters should never be the reason for lag. While I do not approve on their actions, if the servers lag because botters are back, it blizzard being cheap and not providing the server capacity needed according to the number of licenses they sold.
It's weird to me how everyone keeps talking about botting, while we clearly have a bigger issue. Last week, "warden" got an update, and the 2 biggest (that I heard about) bots went down. In those days, even on prime time, I did not have lag. It looks like the bots are up again (and the panic about bans have go down), and we have lag and disconnects again.
So to me, this shows the lag issues are not related to "too many calculations", but to "not enough servers for the active accounts".
For me, it doesn't matter if the server is busy doing calculations for a legit player or a bot, it matters if it's lagging for me or not!
Why did nobody write an open letter to blizzard about the servers being completely stable when a huge part of the active accounts go inactive, rendering the game unplayable (as this post shows) when more accounts become active? They did when "botting is ruining the game" for a few top players that make their money playing the game (able to schedule to play at night), while the game is ruined for everyone by not having enough servers.
Banning bots would solve the issue, for a short time, until they have new accounts. Adding more servers would fix the issues permanently. But I guess the first option makes money (if they ever ban...), the second would cost money...
Sorry for the rant, just don't get why everyone is blinded by the "botting" thing and doesn't see the bigger issue. (Both are an issues, not being able to play is worse than not being able to get leaderboard because of a bot)
I don't have a clue about botting, or what the programs do. I just recently skimmed through the botting topic that was closed out of curiosity. I've come to these forums to see if anyone was talking about latency issues today, that is all, but found no answer to my question. I don't even know what a "warden" is, or what UI stands for, or what TurboHUD is.... hahahahaha. But it makes sense that with all the accounts, the servers cannot handle it so well. I don't care about what people do with their diablo 3 cheats, I just want to be able to play the game without the constant lag issue that I am having today. I don't believe I'm blinded by the botted thing, I am just trying to understand it, but the forums don't deliver.
I went on the eu servers and they were perfectly fine there. Something has gone haywire lol. I haven't checked recently, but a few hours after my post I checked and it was a little better, but very inconsistent in the latency.

Hello,
After i did a GR75 a message pop-up to my screen saying Terminated Game and i have not yet closed the rift
Now there was a error loading the hero
Thanks.
Thud ban!
Its the botter again im 100% sure.
Too many bot overloads the servers, causing perfomance issues, and they dont let the legit players play. Or the botters are hacking the servers.
Only these 2 options.

There's this neat website I stumbled on when looking for answers: http://downdetector.com/status/battle-net
Aside from that normally there's a cascade of "unable to connect" topics on the main forums if there is an issue but I don't see it this time.

Warden is the anti-cheating software packaged with Diablo 3. UI stands for user interface. TurboHUD is a overly helpful UI overlay.
