Diablo 3 is a sweatshop

The 24/7 bots don't last very long. They are the easiest to detect. Sadly most of these botters bot under the assumption that they won't last more than a day or two and liquidate their assets often.

It's the private bot programs that are the problem. They can mimic human behavior very well and are almost undetectable by the server.

So you are saying the 24/7 bots are not a problem, but the private bots that run 24/7 are the problem????

Its pretty easy to bot up 100mil using AHK or AutoIt with very basic scripts. It is pretty easy to setup AH bots using the same programs that are virtually undetectable. The game was completely ruined by bots within months, I can't speak too harshly against the botters as I did it myself. Simply too easy to not exploit. Bad developers are bad developers and no matter how many patches they release it will never change unless they get rid of the real problem... THE BAD DEVELOPERS.

If PoE had RMHA, you would see exactly same things. Dont think PoE is more secure than d3, because it is not. But because it is legal to sell items, and much more easier to do it, than to go to some other sites, I hope majority of booters will stay in d3.

POE was made better against botters and has devs that give a crap.

So I don't think it would be exactly the same....

Do you honestly believe that?

Which part? You think the devs don't give a crap?

I'm guessing your directing towards the first part. Yes I know that botters can't be stopped 100% of the time. But at least you can make it less appealing and a little more difficult. POE's environments are more random making it more challenging to bot on, The economy doesn't revolve around easy to bot farm gold, a smaller player base.

D3 is all about getting as far as you can into the end game so people shell out money to get the best gear and feel cool. I could be wrong but I personally don't see many people doing that in POE.

My question is would botters make as much money botting POE vs. other games? I'm guessing no but I could be wrong.

By private bots I meant private botting programs (stuff not available to the public) made by people who know what they're doing. They don't run 24/7, instead they play the game on a more human-like schedule, like about 8 hours a day. They can even be programmed to AFK to mimic eating or bathroom breaks.

Also, AH bots have been dead for months. There's too many restrictions on searching for items to make these profitable.

PoE's outdoor environments are mostly static. The dungeons are just mazes. Bots won't have any problems dealing with this.

Also, currency items don't change anything. They are just as easy to bot as gold.

I can guarantee that the top ladder players will use items purchased with real money. They will do anything they can to gain an advantage over other players. If D2 players did it, PoE players will do it too.
