Just Bot hatters downloaded Db then made video or screens in order to prove that the Bots DO exist. And ofc they would join public for better Effect
lol indeed
Pretty good effect thoughBut from my personal experience it's indeed pretty rampant to a point that Bliz even replied to a bot hater's thread, it almost never replied to any bot hater thread.

I actually think this is a good thing, it'll make them push more for a banwave (a real one that is), then gold price can rise again =)

Survival of the fittest, those who don't get back up when knocked down, better for me =)
"i dont really understand people lmao, 4 posts today about bots
3/4 of them said "there are some people who earn 2k a day botting"
not sure why they dont think a few steps further, blizz owned by activision, all they care about is money.
One person earning 2k a day means blizz gets 300 dollars a day... why ban him? maybe after like 1 - 2 months, after that guy and blizz has made some money, bam ban the guy.
The guy will buy more accounts (win for blizz) then he bots all over again for another few months (win for him)
Rinse repeat... Blizz doesnt care lol

Yeh exactly I said in OP if botters make money while Bliz make money while no harm is being done to the rest of the players (who buy your gold and items by the way) and no harm to Bliz and Bliz will be lazy in banning.
But if the leech botters actually manage to directly harm the players and ruin their game which will actually cause less players online Bliz will take swift actions because that directly harms Bliz.
Water plz
Well no. Plain and easy.
They were allowed to scan your pc 2-3 years ago. But then a court said that Blizzard was not allowed to do that any more! So instead of banning ( ofc they can sell find some bots/hacks) they just started sueing. Mostly coz MMOGlider was the KING of botting back in wow

Why does Blizzard still allow Auction Bots to automate the prices of trash sets/legendaries to 75k gold to match that of Fiery Brimstone en-masse?
lets check this again in 2 or 3 months... i think it's dangerous and maybe we got a bit arrogant because of the lack of banwaves...
the people in the forums keep complaining and complaining...

An important thing to keep in mind is that we don't make public announcements every time we action players for cheating, and the reason for this is that we are constantly removing this kind of exploitative behavior from the game -- on a weekly basis, sometimes even on daily basis. Public announcements would become tedious if we decided to make one every single time we banned someone for using a bot, a hack, or some other kind of cheat. Instead, we usually will post something whenever we issue a big wave, or whenever we feel like we need to remind players that exploitative behavior is not okay and can lead to a permanent ban from Diablo III.
It's something we take very seriously, though. Our developers, support staff, and anti-hack teams are all busting their butts to ensure that your online experience is as free of cheats, hacks, and bots as possible. From the development side, we look at ways to reduce the effects of exploitative behavior on the community and/or prevent certain programs from working outright. This trick here is to make sure that whatever we do doesn't negatively impact legitimate players, which is actually a very fine tightrope to walk (you saw the complications of that whenever we introduced game limiting). From the support side, we make sure that your in-game reports reach our anti-hacks teams. And from the anti-hack side, we take action on players that we are able to confirm to be maliciously exploiting the game, be it through botting or other forms of cheating.
The reality to all of this, though, is that even though we devote considerable time, effort, and heart to removing bad behavior from the game, there will always be individuals who excel at coming up with new ways of getting around the roadblocks we put up. So, it's a constant battle, but one that we're willing to fight. If you want to pitch in, you can; the easiest way to do so is by emailing [email protected] or submitting a report through our webform.
And, just for clarity, let me repeat:
- Exploitative behavior is not okay (this includes botting).
- If you are found to be exploiting the game, you can be permanently banned.

Such a big fuss over something that Blizzard has decided to publicly announce ONCE AGAIN?
I don't think you realize how many times they've made statements like these to calm the mad crowd, to make sure people know what attitude they have towards cheaters and botters and to make sure the violators are scared of getting caught.
Banwaves will come and go, Blizzard have their ways of detecting if a person violates their TOS, and this is not by checking out computer (OP, get your facts straight).
And you prove my point very well; you feel the need to make a thread to stop botters from doing what they do because you are frightened of getting caught. In reality the botters will be banned eventually, and people should realize that, the trick is to continue once that happens.
I am also amazed about the number of conspiracy theories that people are coming up with. Blizzard ban botters because it interferes with legitimate players. There is no such thing as "letting people bot a couple of months to increase their own income". Botters are flooding the market, lowering prices on items and gold, how can anybody in their right mind believe that Blizzard earned more money that way?
Besides, when a botter is banned he/she will most likely buy a new account and continue.

Well, from the way I see it, there are two reasons to do ban waves te way they do, and you hit one just now.
One, if they only do large ban waves every month - 3 months, that gives people enough time to make enough money off a bot to more than pay for a new key / keys. It gives botters a reason to buy more keys, and DOES increase their income. Also, they do make money off of bots through the AH. The AH flipping bots are constantly driving the price of gold up, by forcing an item to take multiple 15% cuts. Then, the botters who sold them the item are selling the gold on the RMAH quite often.
The other reason is to limit the effectiveness of botting programs and profiles. If they banned people every time they found a way to detect a bot, then the bit developers and users would quickly respond by changing the bot to avoid detection. This would drive the development of bots faster than they are going now. Instead, if they wait until they catch a very large number, and flag them, and wait until they have found multiple ways of detecting people, it makes it harder to determine exactly what it is they caught on to. The bots still must change, but it is going to be harder to change them in a way that is completely countering their new detection methods.
There MAY of MAY NOT be anyone on DB that bots in public games, however by making sure that the mods disable the ability to bot in public games we are MAKING SURE COMPLETELY that there will be that many less public game bots (if there are people on DB that public game bot). He is just proposing a safety measure, at least in this way blizz wont ban DB users as they'll know "oh db users dont bot public games"
and this bottletorch guys posts sigh, not sure if troll or if truly that stupid
pvp is coming out bro, AND an expac... ppl will keep playing, they will keep the game alive for as long as possible, why do you think they dont release ALL content at once?
First they released the game, after that died down...
They buffed items ie Legendaries and Set items, after that died down...
They released Uber Bosses and MP... now that this is dying down
They will release pvp... once pvp dies down...
Bam next expac...
Big patches are their way of bringing back/more people
Not to mention BUffs and Nerfs to class and constant build shifts means that people will constantly be buying items
For eg Dh shifting from ele to cluster arrow will mean a greater sale on quivers... etc etc
edit back/more
