Travis Day (Blizzard CEO) says they ban "outrageous number of bots"

[AngelsHalo]

We ban bots. We ban an outrageous number of bots. We just don?t always publicize it.

Travis Day Diablo 3 Interview Live Stream | Diablo: IncGamers

What a joke We haven't had a big banwave since December. Maybe they hit a few thousand Chinese accounts and that's it. And we know how fast the Chinese come back, they are machines. I think Travis Day is lying just like his predecessor Gay Wilson, trying to make people feel better. Hell just look at the ban report forum, just a few sporadic reports here and there, maybe a total of 20 bans since the big December swatting, and how many of those 20 were lies?

Buzzard is really a pathetic company. I am very happy with Buddy Bot team, maybe Buzzard's FAILED lawsuit has Wilson and Day shaking in their boots

He said this so he looks good when they do a banwave in a few days /tinfoil

 

[eirikzor]

Been running pretty much 24/7 for 6 months here, no bots banned. I've been expecting a banwave since... february, but nothing yet. Lol.

 

[Serby]

Well i'm still not banned (since beginning) so they must be doing something wrong.

 

[Eclipse]

If they keep banning people they will go down like a rock in some months

 

[AngelsHalo]

If they keep banning people they will go down like a rock in some months

I think they want bots to make it look like there are still lots of people playing the game. Remember the infographic??

Diablo III

How many of those "millions of players" still playing actually just bots? LOL @ BUZZARD

 

[IGG]

haha, yes, even increasing "population" and lots of "new players", really cool statistic xD

 

[ManBearPig]

They have to improve the games economy first before they can do a big ban wave. Most of the bots running now were running back when it was still worth it financially to bot. If Blizzard banned them right now those people wouldn't bother buying D3 keys again. They want us to buy more boxes after we get banned

the topic "no bans since december" ist just like the topic "money"
-> idiots (sorry, not you AngelsHalo, just in generel) keep posting and posting and repeating the same stuff and spreading the news...
until we are sucessful and got our banwave...


we made some money? you sold a EF for 250 bucks? you are lucky because of the ban-free time?
yeah, but pleeeeease sh*t the f*ck up about this topic. we are old enough to respect the rule that it's better not to talk about money.

if you don't stop with this provoking threads and continue laughing about blizzard i am sure we are NOT the ones laughing last.

 

[jamesc23]

yea those spam bots in trade chat....


not that I'm complaining, can't believe the attitude of people here.... it's like people are asking for a ban or something, if you ask me I rather they didn't ban me thanks

 

[sephir]

delete the thread waste of space

 

[quadrotony]

I treat to my bots as to own children, as to alive people!!!

so in this case their infographic s true

Well keep in mind lot of us are botting like The Joker - "Its not about the money, its about sending a message". Yes I make $ off botting (not nearly as much as before, but whatever), but I am enjoying destroying the D3 economy because of how crappy Blizzard made this game. It is a big disappointment compaired to Diablo 2 and I actively encourage botting to everyone so they can destroy it faster. Teach Blizzard a lesson not to make crappy games.

So op you're asking Blizz for us to be banned, is that it? There's a saying that if you don't have anything good to say you should just shut the he** up and hide in your hole.

 

[FallenDev]

I swear it's almost as if you guys want to be banned... You complain because your not being banned? Crazy...

 

[Soullinker]

Not that i complain for not being banned, but is it true that they ban allot of ppl?
There are no reports of banned ppl recently. And I don't know other bots to check their forums if they have ppl getting banned.
Because right now for me it sounds that Travis i laying about ppl getting banned.

Its is good to know if Blizzard is just sleeping collecting bots in the web and will just ban them at some point or they are really actively banning ppl.
