I stopped botting D3 and now i'm on wow, anyone has any theory if ROS will be profitable to bot somehow?
D2JSP forums will probably come back into play and it stands to reason you can somehow still turn a profit, but it'll be much more of a hassle than it used to be.
If they would literally make everything account-bound players would lose interest after a week or two of gaming, most wouldn't even buy ROS knowing this. Gearing yourself can only get you so far and even if you somehow succeed, what then? Join public games to show off gear? Do all the achievements? Trading was 99%+ of the game for me in Diablo 2, soul-binding wouldn't have kept me playing for years and they must see this. Even if they don't yet, they will when player numbers begin to dwindle. Also, I don't believe I've seen someone confirm that rares, crafting items, etc would be bound. There will remain some means of exchange and botters will exploit it. Because there will no longer be an easy to use AH, there won't be a million players making a few dollars, there will be a few players making millions (figuratively speaking, of course).
On the other hand, I've played a game where there was no trading, BSGO, so helping each other became valuable, being alone in that game was totally boring and pointless. Clan-members would just help you farm your own commodities, this would make sense in D3 as well. For a few FG I would help you farm those uber AB legendaries. This would encourage people to play together instead of solo-botting and making free money, but it would, for sure, decrease the number of players considerably, because now there's a requirement to be 'socially active', so to say, to be a successful player. Sites like D2JSP would help mitigate this by giving able players an incentive to help strangers (FG) and enabling, I don't know, socially awkward people or people who only have a few hours per week to play and don't bother joining packs of slimy teenagers, to also get top-notch items or characters. And then we'll end up with a new WoW, all your friends will be there and you'll go on raids to get that purple unicorn collection achievement you've been hunting for the last five years. How droll.
