Urgent Request to Address the Issue of Automated Bot Farming in POE2
just make a chinese only realm and don't allow chinese players into the other realm, they will be able to cheat again later anyway, no need to change. But how about not letting the botwaves contaminate the rest of the economy?
Current Build: Penance Brand
God build?! https://pobb.in/bO32dZtLjji5 |

Hope PoE 2 takes botting seriously from the start. Some games have used Easy Anti-Cheat, but it didn’t do a great job at stopping bots, and they eventually had to switch to something like BattlEye. Would be great if GGG skips that trial-and-error phase and implements a strong anti-cheat system right away instead of fixing it later when the economy is already messed up.
Used to think PoE 2 was “not just PoE 1 with better graphics.”
But that illusion shattered after the 0.2.1 patch. It ruined the feel, the loot, the flow, everything. Make it good again, GGG. |

Obviously, you want to make money by trading games. Obviously, you are also illegal.

" This is a problem in every game on the market. It's nearly impossible to stay ahead of the bots. |

with the current number being less that 40k players again, I'm pretty sure more than 50% is bots.
if GGG removed those, they'd have such low numbers shareholders would leave and they'd have to fire Jonathan or let both games die... Pretty sure Jonathan likes his job at TENCENT |

I agree. I've found that a lot of people use the game's two-player mode, using a controller to control two characters under one account, one character is responsible for killing monsters, and the other character is generally a Ritualist (which can have a lot of rarity), which makes it easy for them to get high-quality equipment. I'm guessing most players don't do it that way.
Even more egregious is the automated scripting tool mentioned above. The most I've seen is a lot of streamers running multiple characters in one person, and getting a lot of high-quality gear in delirium. |

" or if someone is confirmed bot: just force them in the realm where evryone is a bot and gear that they get in that realm will be not tradable lol. |
