Why would they want to reward playing for 5-10 minutes? If you don't have time for more, too bad? It's a game that revolves around farming and I don't feel it should reward very short sessions.
It's good to know Blizzard is actually doing a huge banwave. Botting was seriously rampant. But whoever thinks bots wont come back, or that blizz banned 100% of them is just naive. The economy is based off of bots and its hard to believe that from now on everything will be different. If they do a big banwave like this one every few days, they might have a chance against public and semi private bots.
I think a good solution for people wanting to run short games would be to improve the chances of legendaries dropping off the act's big bosses. That would also appeal to the people who miss the old Diablo 2 style of magic finding. They could make the numbers such that you can get more legendaries doing a cydaea-> azmo, ZK-> Belial, Jailor-> butcher etc route than doing the current routes. I personally believe this would be good for the game as it both makes sense (why wouldn't the lords of hell have better loot than some corpse in tristram?) and it doesn't mean the other routes would be bad. Actually, I'm going to go post this in the suggestions forums.
I hope that banning bots doesnt just means deleting accounts. They need to get IP banned.
On a kind of a side note, does any1 know how you get notified when you win a beta key?
Tsk, I'd just like for acts to have more random layouts. Maybe add additional optional subzones not tied to the story after the first time you've completed it.

Another naive thought. This will never happen so dream on. Banning by ip will get blizz into more trouble than it would have if it banned per machine.
If they want a way to make higher MP levels more appealing, how about extending the time of shrines on higher MP levels? Shrines are so much more powerful on lower MP levels due to the amount of packs you can get through with the enlightened shrine or fleeting shrine up. If shrines lasted longer on higher MP's, it would be a worthy bonus.
Its about time Blizzard removed some bots... next we need to get rid of the doopers! *puts on tin foil hat*
Goodbye botters.
Also, HotS <3 and all that. Cheers! ^.-
It's an effective compromise - but the focus on overall game balancing here is disturbing.
Is D3 balanced perfectly? No. Is it balanced enough in the short term to focus these "resources" on additional content (pvp, e.c.t)? Yes.
