Recent GET FUCKED banwave.

And the next phase has started, the hud one that got the warnings have started getting banned.

Thats funny. Bots never bothered me tho when I played the trade game. Always got what I wanted in short order flipping stuff. Started small with like Chaos to alts then ex trades. This way you bypass not only the farming experience but the bots too since you play margins outside game. Doesnt matter if every player was a bot. What bothered me is trade.

I find this amusing. Bots run rampant for years, GGG doesn't give a shit, a known RMT site owner holds a stake in the company. Enter Tencent, exit the RMT shareholder, and suddenly GGG cracks down on the bots. A big coincidence? Or are we seeing the first real fruits of the Tencent takeover?

Interesting point.

I lean towards it being a coincidence, but interesting point.

There has never been a spike in ex price like this league, so it was certainly exceptional and far more impactful this time around.

But I am still going HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Noticed that Chris Wilson piped up on reddit to that very same claim about Tencent. He said this had been in the works for a while.

Makes more sense than the bot creators post which was more of a i can't be arsed doing it any more, and guesses at the detection method, only chucking tencent in there as the bait for the idiots to hook on to.

If his guess is true and the detection is a behavioural detection on the server then that would have take a year or more to gather enough info to make sure it would work well enough, then the coding to get it on the server without fucking everything up, and given how much content GGG chuck out it was probably left to one or 2 people to code in while every other programmer works on the next bit of content.

The bot dev posted that the previous anti-cheating campaign in PoE was in 2015. For 3 years GGG didn't do shit. Until Tencent took over.

well, i saw alot of people getting banned in this time.

when you fight botters you go for the most effective way, which is shadowbanning. this is not a gladiator fight for the average, righterous american kid. the latest banwave was cause it didn't hit the big guys but the average tool users.
