Well it's nice to be aware of all the outcomes, and I'd be lying if I told you or anyone that I am not being hopeful about that better outcome of it just being a precaution being made by the developers/Demonbuddy, and not something much bigger. You could say I'm just hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst is all.
I know there are reasons for being somewhat quiet about what's going on behind the scenes as this is a public forum. For all we know it's just a precautionary measure as the announcement stated to investigate the changes to some Warden update. It could be something else entirely, and people are already flagged for the next delayed banwave and this is to hopefully take measures for damage control to show they tried to do their best to minimize any casualties. I am speculating based on my experiences with other *****ing communities, and if I'm wrong I'd be quite happy to know I can bot that much longer.
And my statement about other people to blame for their actions-- I'm not trying to say I don't deserve a ban if I get one. I've *****ed on D3 just like everyone else here (why else are you in this section?). When I signed up to use the bot, I joined knowing fully well that if I get banned, I'd be to blame because I chose to break the terms of service of D3. It should be inherent for any *****er that if they get caught/banned/etc, their accounts involved will likely get banned sooner or later. I even said I was speculating in the last paragraph of my post based on my experience from another *****ing group for another game. I never even said people didn't know about Diablo 3 and its botting communities like Demonbuddy. Back then people could bot, level accounts, farm IP/XP, exploit Referral systems with the said bots. Sure people knew about it, guessed and investigated about it-- But it was the minority that noticed but could never really bring any attention to the general public for a long period of time. After a while, all it took was a single pivotal post on some platform such as Reddit with some evidence and Riot Games had to start enforcing anti-*****ing. And my direct blame was towards people like that one guy who posted a thread on here just a few days ago with 1000+ viewers just showing himself botting and not giving a care in the world. Sure, who cares it's just one person, and that person will likely get a ban and wouldn't lead to anything big. But those are all just more ammunition to be used to make Blizzard care more about working against *****ers like ourselves.
Now obviously I'm reaching a bit by comparing a very popular competitive MOBA game to a not-so-competitive game like D3, with the only remotely competitive thing is that leaderboard. But I always wonder if Riot Games would have really gone ahead and directed so much effort into banning botters/*****ers of various types if people didn't complain about it constantly to a point where it affected their playerbase. Shouldn't take much effort for Blizzard to ban a lot of careless botters on here. Hearthbuddy or the other bot, which I probably can't say since it's another platform outside of the buddy series, was running fine and no real bans until Blizzard started *****ing down and those big waves came. Again, all speculation and just me ranting based on my prior experience with another community.
TL;DR - You bot, obviously you're going to get banned at some point. That's inevitable and I never denied that fact. I never said Demonbuddy was some hidden gem of a bot that no one knew about. It's something that comes up the instant you look for any D3 related *****ing tools. I only voiced my displeasure of seeing other *****ers just trying so hard to show off their *****s and bring about unwanted attention. People know about D3 and its botters, but no one talks about it like some hot topic every single day unless their attention is brought to it. One thread for instance came up on here and showed his twitch.tv stream of him botting and there was about a 1000 viewers even after the mods took the topic off. At the end of the day, I was just ranting and clearly it's just my own opinions based on my own speculations as I've stated in my previous post. People can think what they want, I just decided to rant on here and also advise those who assume it's nothing serious, to be hopeful but also be ready for the worst possible outcome.
and of course I have real life.
