Insane amount of bots farming low level area's, please do something.

I had to see it for myself, and it is pretty sad. There was a lot of bot traffic in Act 1 and I could notice it right away. I find it sad that people take the time and effort to make something that plays a game for you. It is also sad that people then pay said person for playing the game for them.

If you notice any of these players, please report their names to us at "Support@GrindingGear.com" immediately and we will take action against them.

That's going to be a long list of annoying names to type. I'm not sure if it is really going to do much to bombard you guys with hundreds of possible low-level bot accounts.

Please GGG, all you have to do is make it where only one instance of PoE can be run per computer. This would curtail botting/multiboxing by a large margin.

Both botters and multiboxers are one in the same, IMO, in PoE's case. They are ruining the economy and people are leaving in droves over this.



Please GGG....Ban these kids.

Why not make a game in a way that the RMT is largely unnecessary?

In any game where items of value can be traded between players, RMT will flourish.

I mean, you have people out there making a living selling Team Fortress 2 hats, for god's sakes.

And I'm fairly sure "being able to trade items of value" is not going to be taken out of the game, except in specific league types (which could be quite fun!).

Over the course of an hour I noticed a constant stream of, what I can only assume are bots or very precise low paid 'orb farmers'. These 'players' logged in in groups of 10 or more. They ran to the vendor, the stash then the way-point. The same path was used each and every time.
The names of these characters were always along the lines of 'ebhg' 'jfngd' ifhn' etc, and the level was never more than 30.

Maybe you did see some bots but one of them could very well have been me. I do not have the best imagination and name all my dudes in the line of "AVEGEAG" so please dont ban based of name as I would lose almost all my characters from that. And running to vendor sell stuff -> stach store what you got and out to the wp to get back out is what people do noting out of the ordinary there. Nor is being less than lvl 30 in the first act..
