Bumblebee999 posted a message on So...MonkPosted in: Diablo III General DiscussionI love how people keep saying good riddance on the Healer nerf without actually thinking it through.
First of all, I agree the heal amount was absurd and needed a nerf, but not nearly as much as a complete wipe with extreme prejudice as Blizz is doing.
People don't realize their progress so far (in terms of grift pushing) was only possible because of the Healer. Some idiots even go so far as saying pushing grifts will now require skill. It's obvious they actually haven't played high grifts (83+) themselves. When you reach that high of a grift level, without a Healer, no amount of "skill" is going to save you from everything one-shotting you by surrounding you with arcanes and frozens. You get nicked ONCE, you are down to < 10% Life, you start to run away, you get hit again because you are in density. Your cheat death triggers. You use your "skill" by not going back in to density like an idiot. You start to kite. But it's not like the grift is all of a sudden empty. You WILL get breathed on again, and you do. You panick and spend potion for the pathetic heal amount. Touched again, game over.
Make no mistake, life regen is absolutely essential.

8-15 hours fishing, and the remaining 9-16 hours botting gr keys.

MeatHeadMikhail posted a message on The State of Diablo 3 (Video)Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionThe thing is, if you have to add an in-game mechanic to automate an in-game task, you can argue that task shouldn't exist to begin with. It's like a car leaking oil - instead of fixing the pan, you keep pouring in more oil.

Bagstone posted a message on Open Letter against BottingPosted in: Diablo III General DiscussionNot true, there are bots on hardcore. Maybe not as many as on SC but saying that people should move to HC to avoid the problem is like closing your eyes in front of a problem to say "it's gone".

Bagstone posted a message on Open Letter against BottingPosted in: Diablo III General DiscussionFrom d3cab.org:
Dear Diablo III Development Team,
This is a message on behalf of the portion of the community that engages in the competitive aspects (such as Leaderboards and Conquests) of this game you created - the players who love the game to the point where they dedicate large portions of their free time to playing it; who want to have at least something to show for this dedication; who want to have their names up there on the Leaderboards; and who want to see rewards for the countless hours of gameplay they spend on Diablo III.
You’re making this incredibly difficult for us.
We all know that beating the highest possible Greater Rift tiers requires a large number of attempts in addition to the time investment that is needed to get the appropriate gear. This involves a lot of grinding, be it for Keystones, crafting materials, Infernal Machines, or Ancient Legendaries. Such is the nature of the game and that is not the issue. The actual problem lies in the vast amount of people who try to get around doing this dirty work - the ones that use bots; the ones that can log into the game to hundreds of Greater Rift Keystones, Legendary crafting materials, or Infernal Machines every day, without having lifted a finger for any of those. It should be obvious that this provides these players with a huge advantage over those of us that choose not to bot, but put at least the same amount of effort into the game and advancement of our characters. This feeling is extremely disheartening. We all know that it is incredibly hard to beat the botters and even impossible if they were to step up their gameplay to a higher level of efficiency. They can get a huge lead on you every single night. This knowledge reduces the incentive and desire to participate in the Leaderboard competition until eventually the Diablo III competition becomes a farce altogether. Thus, those of us that love the game and have been dedicated players since the start become increasingly frustrated with it until we simply give up on the entire competition, or create our own, virtual “bot-free” competition by ignoring all known botters.
To prevent that, your very own End User License Agreement, which we all agreed to, states that players may not use bots such as these, even giving “the automated control of a character in a Game” as an example for such a prohibited program (Section 1.C.ii.2. of Battle.net® End User License Agreement, http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/legal/eula.html). Enforcing this agreement is your duty and yours alone. If you don’t, it will only go to show that you don’t care. It has been months since the last major action taken against botters and, consequently, Season 3 was dominated by them. Our friends lists contain more and more people who are online for more than 20 hours a day, despite them having to go to work or school. Even if detecting the actual bots running on people's machines or identifying them by their in-game behavior was impossible, their log-in times should be more than enough to warrant additional investigation. Nobody can play for 23 hours every single day.
Even if that were infeasible, at least let us report botters so that you may investigate their behavior. It has come to a point where it is quite obvious that certain high profile streamers are botting off-stream and some are even admitting so themselves in public chat rooms. These players are viewed as examples by the community, so what kind of message does that send? To us, it sends the message that not only is it apparently legal to bot, but that the game even requires it to be competitive. That is undoubtedly not how you want Diablo III to be seen, especially with how far we’ve come since the issues of the original release.
Of course, we would prefer any action against botters to happen immediately upon them being discovered. However, we are aware that this is likely infeasible. Thus, we would propose any action against botters to take place approximately two weeks before the end of a Season, coinciding with the “Season Ending” announcement, as to not give botters the time to catch up to the legitimate and fair players again. The latter would then still be able to fight for the clean Leaderboards, as they would if botters didn’t exist.
Still, with no action having been taken for so long, sending out a message to the entire community sooner rather than later would be a good idea.
Please, if you have the same love for the game that we do, do something about the botters. It cannot continue like this. We cannot continue like this.

Bagstone posted a message on Patch 2.3: Botter's Heaven?Posted in: Diablo III General DiscussionI came across this thread on the official forums:
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/18300090074
And was seriously in shock when reading all the replies and realizing it's at -2. Well, the first post doesn't really fill in everyone one *why* it's so much of a problem... but really? This is so obviously a problem it needs to be addressed. If I was being cynical I could ask if Blizzard wants to make money by people buying loads of D3+RoS copies to run their bots...
Anyways; in post #153 I explained my point of view, but since I don't monitor the official forums and might not even look at the replies there (if they continue to be as ignorant and horrible as they were until now) I wonder what the community here thinks about it. Thoughts?
Edit: Post was in the PTR forums, deleted now - but it basically predicts a rampant botting in 2.3.
