I'm a Chinese player，I want to tell your，This game has been taken over by auto-scripted bots

GGG, on the other hand, does not have any AI detection and blocking function

I assure you they have.
But why ban immediately?

Let bot-farms farm, they pay thousands of dollars.
Each few months, issue ban-weave. And then you get even more dollars.

Bot farms are making money from RMT. GGG is making money.
Everyone is happy.

Why ruin it?

Man, this is depressing. I no longer feel the need to play and grind if people can just RMT and use bots.

I have seen the market climb for divs/exs and also for gear thats becoming out of reach. For casual to even people with more time, this becomes more out of reach daily.

No they do not have a detection system, to have it you will need to work on it after getting API which is nowhere on the priority list now.
Hence bots are way more sophisticated than they were years ago you cannot ban people for playing 24/7 as this is not proof, and you cannot use kernel-level anti-cheat in many countries as it is illegal and simply wrong.

THIS.
IS.
10 YEARS.
OLD.
PROBLEM.

It is not a problem actually.
This is why we get so cheap orbs.

All those alteration, augmentation, alchemy, scouring, fusion, jeweler...
All are the result of AFK bot farms.

At some point, those were selling like 100 to 1 chaos.

Do you really think, that I will click my mouse 10000 times to pick up the value of 1 divine orb from the ground?

FK NO. NO WAY MAN.
This is stupid, even to think about it.

The bots are making crafting in POE 1 cheaper and accessible.

You have no clue what you are saying.

I would post you "specific thread" from a "specific forum" using specific "Tools", but the mods will take it down immediately.

To sum everything, the thread is about what "you should not do", if you do not get to be banned, WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING YOUR BOT FARM.

And I can tell you, while there is ton of shit that GGG isn't checking, there is PLENTY of shit that GGG is actually checking.

And for your information - running maps 24/7 is one of the things that GGG is checking. (But is easy to avoid, by random schedule)

I understand what you are saying but this breaks the game in other ways too. Also, new players fall so far behind. If you have these cheap orbs, new players would pick up and can make a little profit and it would be worth clicking on these orbs then.

This game was fun for about 6 weeks but these problems are glaring with RMT/Bots being one of the biggest. we could never compete against them. Back to FPS or MOBA games where, while you do have cheating, they are quick to ban and the advantage is not so significant.

people do compete against them tho, and win i might add.

Ok but I don't want it. There's nothing wrong with making crafting more expensive as long as it's a fair game. I want fair competition not bots.

EightInchFloppyDisk is obviously one of the people running bots....

RMT and farm bots will ruin this game, and if it continues after full release, real player retention might suffer a lot.

I know I wont keep grinding for long after enjoying campaign, if lets say ~50% of players is just bots printing currency, why bother.

There is hope since bots wont buy MTX, but for now it looks very bad.
