Bots and RMTing...

...are both destroying any semblance of entertainment in this game. From price fixing, from spamming everyone selling an item at a bargain price, inflating the market to the point that trading for decent items is impossible unless you are farming 24/7 with a solid build and willing to pay a bot's price, which essentially makes you their employee, only you are not getting paid. Streamers do not talk about it, because 90% of them RMT to pull ahead and be able to make content, do not be fooled into thinking the gear they always have is from drops.

The real question is will GGG do something about it?

Because up until now they have taken zero (0) actions to amend that.

In a game so blatantly balanced around trading, streamers are not bringing up the subject or pushing for a change, GGG devs have never mentioned a single thing about it on any of their streams or posts, to the point that some people wonder if GGG has some sort of connection to the RMT sites. The fact is that the biggest cancer in the game is still festering and growing.

With all their metrics and feedback from players it is impossible that they would be unaware of the issue. So an honest answer from official GGG lips would be much appreciated.

Bots are a serious issue.

If there are 50k online, how many of them are bots? 10k? 20k?

many prominent streamers stream from league start fully and you accuse them of rmting? this is a game of knowledge, and knowledge is what separates veterans from casuals. the market at present is hardly inflated. in fact, its deflating. sacred flames are creeping towards 10divines. what inflation? headhunters are cheaper than it was before. ingenuity belts are dirt cheap except for super high ends.

so what the heck are you talking about?

bots increase supply, supply lowers price. if anything, they ruin the economy
by making things cheaper and cause your items to lose value. but inflation? that's just wrong. bots are bad but for the wrong reason.


when i first started this game, i too didn't know many things. as i learn and improve, you just find ways to make best of what you have, items, partially good items, partially bad items. if you're just waiting for divines to drop, this is your own problem. not the game's.

It's especially funny to say that "Streamers RMT", when most of them normally play SSF or HCSSF.

They complain about all kinds of nonsense and refuse to just improve their game. I'm sure a fellow 40/40 should understand.

They refuse to understand how supply and demand works. They even do not realize this is market is high supply, and low demand. If anything, this is a great league for casuals.

Holysmokes these complaints are driving me nuts. The issue with this league is hardly because of all the things these people are complaining about.. it's because it's actually boring lol with nothing to chase for... not to mention build diversity issues.

If the suggestion that the EU server issues are down to getting hammered by ddos I'd say they'd done something to upset some group of criminal enterprise

"They" being the people who complain about RMT and you're correct. This has been a great league for me, 100h in and I've pretty much completed my build. Sure there are a few things here and there I could improve on but it's not worth the huge hike in prices for the last 10%, there's no content that is beyond me at this point

People ddos for two reasons, either the game's doing too good, or too bad. You decide for yourself which it is.

Game is designed around it . Only way for most people to create a half decent character and have fun is to rmt because the currency is so rare and the mods on dropped items are so bad. Market is the only way to progress and the scarcity of currency makes it impossible for alot of people to play without rmt.

Like I said about, the game seems to be completely balanced around rmt. All they have to do it makes targeted crafting possible, increase currency drops or improve mods on dropped items and this will seriously reduce the amount of people using rmt.

People don't rmt because they have sinister intentions and want to mess up the economy. The game is simply unplayable to them without it.

If you ban people using rmt then I believe over half the real player base will be gone and the game will die, there will be more bots than real people playing the game lol.

its better when you report them to them with screen shoots and more you know what happens your posted get removed and my account got punished. there is a reason why the player count has fallen so low and this season went from crap to more crap.
