Re: Botting disscussion.
Not really sure whether to agree or disagree tbh.
On the 1 side, botters do greatly depreciate what "humans" find as a bot will undoubtedly find more of the basic uniques - Shakos / HoZ's and whatnot.
On the same note I assume they will also find more Deaths Fathoms, Griffons etc, and thus help lower then price of these by the same logic.
So for humans, Bots make items more affordable, but also lessen the value of what you find yourself.
I don't really bother mf'ing, runes / keys / pgems / socketables, even gambling are all a much better source of steady income that's augmented by the special finds.
I didn't really mean to imply that there were no dupes, i just meant that the major "supply" of hr's comes from bots now, instead of dupes.
I guess we all have a different acceptable level of "grind". For me, last ladder was just too easy 1 hr = 2 Ists was silly low considering Ists come from Hellforge, so with just a few rushes you could get a few HR's and be in an enigma.
Getting my first enigma this ladder cost me ~25 Ists and whilst the wait was a little longer, there was certainly more feel good factor associated with it.
Gone a little OT here again
I'd never say bots were a good thing, but with D3 on the way I can't see D2 ever being botless so I've just adapted how I play / generate wealth.
I'm not agreeing with bots, but for those interested in PvP i can see the attraction, PvP is not for the poor - at least that's my take on it, i hate d2 pvp. For pure PvM i really can't see why anyone would want a bot to play the game for them and generate silly wealth they didn't need. All a bot would do is "condense" all the good moments until they became meaningless because the uncommon has been made commonplace.
