Since profiles have been released parsing websites have started gathering data that can be sorted by rank.
Game is release in May 15.
That means 87 days. Without taking into account maintenance and downtime, let's round it up to say 90 days.
That's 90 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes = 129,600 minutes give or take.
130k minutes since game release
200k elite kills
Also, some players are coming up to 400k elite kills.
The bots are blatantly obvious, theres literally thousands of accounts with highest progression Act4 Hell, 100s of thousands of elite kills, all gear is Gold Find and is mostly crap ( as its found loot and never bought ).
This is hardly shocking info, what drives me nuts, is anyone can see the bots, clear as day, and this info just got made public, Blizz has had this info for months.
This clearly shows, Blizz does not care about bots, beyond a token banning of the newbie botters and those using the mass-released bots/scripts.
Did people not realize the extent of botting in this game? It's been like this for a while. If you want to bot in this game you can do it. It's just that there's a chance your character will eventually get banned but it's really inconsistent.
The question I have is whether the "input limit reached" happens in Nightmare / Hell. Because I noticed it doesn't occur in Normal. I can't test it right now...

The extent isn't what is shocking, it's the fact that it is so easy to identify, and yet Blizz has done nothing.
all bots never finished act 1 inferno and all stopped on hell ending and got gold find, so they are farming hell only nonstop with maximum gold find gear.
Im sure there are 'reasons' for these profiles other then what some people expect. I believe, and this is just imo b/c of the legal issues surrounding the RMAH, botters will be caught in due time with sufficient proof. I wouldnt go jumping to any conclusions as a business owner with out enough proof. Pointing the 'cheater/stealer' finger can be more harmful if your allegations are proven untrue. It's a very thin line to walk.
What's the point of banning them when they are making hundreds of $$ a day ?
You will ban them, they will open another account for 60$ and continue with it.
I don't think that banning can resolve anything. Every single bot makes more then 60$ over 24 hours period, so I m pretty sure those fail fag botters couldn't care less.
They need to implement some sistem or simply remove Gold Find gear since it's anyway only used by botters.

The maths is quite clear, almost all of the top 1000 in elites killed, have been online 24/7 since launch.
Please justify a 24/7 for nearly 3 months play time. Someone on the main forums actually worked out that some of them have averaged an elite a minute for THREE MONTHS.
Teams of people with 1 account farming Act 4 hell in below average blues ?
Yeah, no.
If you still don't get it, look for yourself, look at your elite kills and think about your time played.
Then check ANYONE in the top 1000 of the link in the OP.
^^ no. thatd reinfornce and maintain the inflated prices. I think they should remove wtfpwn ban their accounts/ip's and remove all gear/gold on those accounts. i wouldnt be supprised if each bot has several billion gold ON HAND
Blizzard is actively banning botters and while their methods or patterns remain unknown, if you lurk around forums with bots, you see topics made daily about bans happening, often by waves. Why those botters haven't been caught yet? This is something we probably will never know as Blizzard's methods remain unknown.
It is actually quite entertaining to go on these forums and reading a 20 page thread about people losing 2 to 20 accounts to bans.

I think it's important to remember that we, as part of the community, can HELP Blizzard instead of just calling them stupid for not seeing this already. They can't catch every botter every single time. Some of these may seem obvious but there's got to be a reason they slipped through the cracks. Instead of getting upset about that we can attempt to help Blizzard as opposed to demanding they explain why all the botters aren't gone.
I think it's safe to say that Blizzard is trying to eliminate bots even if they don't have 100% accuracy.
Forgive me if i'm mistaken, but i'm fairly certain Blizzard has to have actual real proof that someone is botting before they can ban them. They can't just go "he haz killed lots of elites.. BAN!!" if it was that simple then no game would ever have botting issues. Every games company that brings out online games has data for all of this stuff and at the same time all these games have botting and hacks running rampent simply because they can't just ban people for killing a lot. Even if that amount isn't humanly possible, it's still not enough just like any case like this your innocent until proven guilty.

Just click that link, click on any player in the top 1000, under their name click the armory link.
A real slap in the face for the real players.

It's ridic, that's fo sho, I mean I'm at like maybe 7k kills with a little over 300 hours. Apparently I'm doing something wrong.
Honestly, I can't even understand how they manage to find an elite pack per minute, let alone kill them :/
Those Who Do Not Know True Pain Cannot Possibly Understand True Peace...
