Bots are back, if they even left?

Well just as the topic says, the bots are back. Just had a very unpleasent pvp match with a (TR ofc as always) 4Kgs Bot. And yes I reported him. But if you search for "Old sharandar" in the search player tab you can see how man TR bots runing around and doing their thing.

The question i ask is why dont Cryptic put more effort into it and ban them? And if they come back again, just rinse and repeat or fix som kind of antibot system idk. But this is just not okay imo.

You'll never get rid of them while they're profitable. They won't be unprofitable while people are willing to buy from ad rmt traders.

Were we in the same match? LOL i got that bot twice! Funny thing is first time, even with that bot (tr at 4k) we won the first match easily.. I queue for dom match again and Viola there it is again, this time no such luck, lost by a wide margin.

When I could get In to a match this morning that is.. stupid queue bug.

When alcohol was illegal (very difficult to acquire alike some items in the game) what happened? Bootlegging.

When alcohol became legal and relatively easy to obtain ...bootleggers became irrelevant.

When alcohol became easily obtainable did that stop the demand for alcohol? nope. but im guessing Cryptic thinks that if they lower the difficulty to acquire these items the demand for them will fall which will translate to reduced player base.

Players want to log in and develop and refine their hero, period. At least for me, if i have a straight forward path to obtaining these items without insane time frames (incomprehensible AD costs) my enjoyment of the game is enhanced, not lowered. Just as there are more people with alcohol issues than there were when it was with-held, more players will arrive and sustain the game when you can use the gold that is readily available through basic enjoyable game actions, not casino like mechanisms. If i want to gamble, i can easily find an online casino game.

Is it possible that Cryptic has unseen ties with these 3rd party sellers? if so...well...AD insanity will continue
