Bots ok?

Bots ok?

What is the view of bots by blizzard? I've just gotten my first character to hell baal runs and see a lot of bots there (especially hammerdins). If blizzard doesn't mind how would I go about getting a bot of my own to do baal runs?

Thanks for the help.

 

you should read the forum rules first, anyway im wondering if this is just a joke, but obviouslly blizz doesnt like bots. doh, and well im aware that a LOT of the ppl in dii.net even though they dont admit it use many bots, but i myself hate it with a passion.

 

Simple as pie. Do not use bots.
Even if Blizzard apparently do not ban enough of them, they still ban. I do not care even if one of my friends would get banned for botting, if he actually did.

Besides, I dont understand the point. How funny is it to have a char that you actually never played yourself? Got him boosted, leeched through levels, then botted. Combine with ebayed items for maximum waste of time/fun/money.
Its like "wow, today I found a [insert cool item here]"
But you never found it. You downloaded a program.
Same with all ebayers coming in here, saying "Wow, I have all godly stuff, yada yada yada, what can I do with them?".

I say: Play the game as it was meant to. Else it is not fun at all.
The reason to why Blizzard dont ban as much as I want to is probably all stuff with WoW, and the fact that D2 is not the hottest and newest game out there.

Maybe overreacted a little, but thats my truth.

I am pretty sure blizzard knows exactly who is botting, but it seems "extended" realm downs (12+ hour downtime) is all they can currently do against botters. I really hope they will remove botter accounts/keys before the ladder reset though. Making a new ladder in the same conditions is just a waste of time and material.

What's the fun in botting anyways, never quite figured that out...
