Lately, the spam bots have been getting much worse. At first, they would spam channels in chat, then they moved to wispering, now they join games to spam...
It doesn't seem fair that I get temp banned for joining games too fast, but a bot that joins game after game, all day, doesn't seem to get banned...
It gets annoying muting them as they join, especially when they are leveled to join hell games, I think they are there for the run, so I invite, then they start spamming... By then, the screen is full of text, and I didn't have a chance to mute (squelch or whatever it is).
Is there anything I can do, like report them to Blizzard? Or can Blizzard just ban them already?...
Imagine how much WoW must get spam bots. At least I figure they must. And those chumps are paying to play their game.
Bots are definitely one of the most annoying things in D2. I swear I've been indirectly killed by them when I was about to kill someone off then a bot would join and being as close to death as I was, the monster would suddenly get stronger and finish me off.
I doubt there anything you can really do about them except accept their existence and try to ignore them.

Theres times when there were a ton of bots in wow....theres a lot less nowadays(tho sometimes there out in droves) but there nowhere near as high in numbers as they are in D2
always whispering you if you're interested in buying in-game money etc. for real money..

I remember the lewt.com bots. So one day I thought I'd check out the site and see what they actually had. They were like selling some things for 120 dollars. Or like a dozen high runes were 60 dollars. People supposedly were actually paying real money for these things.
just put a level minimum on the game. Bots are almost always level 1s.

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]"Fool! You have just ensured the doom of this world. You cannot even begin to imagine what you've set in motion this day. Go to the Temple of Light, in the eastern ciry of Kurast. There you will find the gate to Hell opened before you. You must find the courage to step through that gate Marius. Take the stone you hold to the Hellforge, where it will be destroyed. Now run! Take the stone and run!"
it's more challenging in a lot of ways.
(great for those of us with sort of masochistic gaming tendencies.. leveling takes forever and even godly characters are mortal)
gear is more unique from character to character.
hc dueling has less consequence since, if you get loot, all you have to do is relevel.
i might play it over LOD if only you could make a classic assassin.
but yea off topic.
spam bots are terrible, i hate all bots.
i wish they would do this:

An effective, but also annoying measure would be introducing a random code to each new game created. This would make it very hardf for the bots to be able to join a game, and require the bot makers to create optical recognision software, to enter our games.

they'll never see me coming.. life is a sequence of tragedies, inconsistent only by fleeting, elusive moments of pleasure,
serving only to ensure absolute vulnerability to the pain of their inevitable absence.
I thought all this outside buying and selling of videogame crap was silly until I sold my Paladin for 125$. (WOTLK was released the next week killing my char's value, atleast I got some cash for all the time/energy wasted!)
It is silly though, if you are the one buying pixels and code.

The challenge is the biggest thing that drove me away from LOD since there was none. Well 1.10 brought some challenge back to there but when you get good enough gear its the same.
Nowadays, the cheats, dupes, spam bots, tppk are are realy drive away from LOD. I made (in this ladder) 83 hc ama and 91 sorc in LOD just because in LOD you can try out some a bit more different builds cause the items are so much more powerful.
its my way to stop ppl trying to rush me or if i do something they dont like so they cant come back as a lvl 94 paladin and kill me (which is usually done by just picking stuff up xD)
it doesnt work for brand new characters while ppl still being able to join your game
but once you lvl a bit you can increase the lvl minimum =3

1) play classic and join to a channel with your classic playing friends. Haven't seen any spams for long time.
2) when you create a game.. always make at least some lvl restriction.. like 30 levels up and down from your level.
In wow you can remove all spam by installing an addon called spamMeNot.. it also reports all the spammers automaticly.
