How to handle botters

GGG made the PoE executable so that multiple copies could run on one machine simultaneously.

Could that imply they consider botting one of the "acceptable exploits"?


1. People will open multiple copies regardless of how GGG sets it.
2. Opening multiple copies in no way means someone is botting.

The only way to handle this is to report/ban them as we find them. This public hanging stuff or whatever is just a ridiculous waste of time and if anything would just encourage trolls to bot the game.

why would you open more than one account if you dont plan to do some fishy bussiness?

there is absolutely no reason to run more than one...

-Trade characters
-Inventory characters
-Mules

It's MUCH faster to Alt-Tab then to log-out/login each time. Kind of makes your 'absolutely no reason' look a bit foolish, don't you think?

Ignorant is not refuting a single point and claiming victory. Its also ignorant to believe 'forum' trading will be the ONLY way and/or the fastest way.

Back to point:
YOU said: 'Absolutely no reason'
I said: 'Here's at least 3'
YOU said: 'Herp Derp forum trading'

Best of luck to you, you're going to need it.
Send them to HC Cut Throat League.
If bot dies send them so the League of Shame.

exactly what im talking about

ppl who will not use forum trading but rather log into two accounts,party them,move them to same instance,drop items on the ground,pick them up while alt tabing at least 5 times in the process deserve to be suspiscious of botting

What?!?! This is what will have to be done by people who do not wish to purchase more stash tabs for their account. These will be mule accounts.

No, they will have 4 stash tabs do whatever they want. Although forum stash tabs will be bought.

But if you wish to increase your stash tabs for holding alt gear, uniques, and/or vendor recipe items without purchasing more tabs. Yes.
