A little about the 'botting epidemic' that's going on ATM

SAVAGE

Slick movesby GGG...

But still looks ugly ingame , and the sheer visual volume of cheating this league is major a turn off to newer , time constrained and economically struggling players.

On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you want to murder botters?

5. Botting isn't a core problem for us right now (despite it looking that way when you see them in town).

Chris when you see a bot yourself do you like just shake your head and click the ban button?

It's out of control. We can all clearly see it. It sickening.

I'm seriously considering taking break until 3.0 or I see some better kind of policing.

SSF is NOT the answer to all our problems you fucking snowflakes

Could you explain how much exactly happening to poor snowflakes ? Like we have to farm 2 times more to buy an exalt coz of flood currency via botting ? Or is it impossible to do a 10 exalted build by a normal human being at the middle of the league and getting worse and worse coz of uncontrolled botting ? Or in SSF, everyone is running 10 chaos builds w/o botting or flipping ?

Just one solid evidence, please.

I belive 3.0 with new locations should fix it for some time.

That is absolutely hilarious.
With the push of a button, bots can now be almost SSF.

Does this mean they are also disabled from accessing guild stashes? (If not someone could still get the currency that way).

This begs the question: "What are your core problems right now?"
