Out of the USEAST NonLadder games list, about 95% of them are bot games. You can tell because they have a “-xx” at the end of the game names, like “gz cbaal-19”. This is due to the way bots create successive games. This is only counting public bots (a lot of them advertise their websites via the “!x” command.
For example, “!visit d2stationcom today for best deals!” They will load like 3 runners into the game and nonstop spam this type of stuff to get around the spam filter blizzard implemented 3 years ago (which worked for a while, until spammers found this method). Once in the game it’s really, really obvious when someone is botting. Or when they make a tp they will say “safe tp!” or “hot tp!” They will say the same messages every game, like before diablo kill they will say “diablo kill # 243” or something like that. I don’t know if d2 game masters have access to private, passworded games (this is what the more paranoid botters will use), but if so, you should also snoop around in any game that has numbers in the end, or with numbers that keep on increasing. And I wrote an IRC bot for keeping track of item trades for some dudes who gave me several accounts full of characters full of really good items. This is a flag that the game is probably run by botters, which can be confirmed by observing the behavior in game. If there are 100 ppl botting at a time, and 25 of them get (8), then they will spread the word and botting will be curbed. The goal isn’t to stop all botters using this method. It’s to send the message to cheaters that there ARE CONSEQUENCES and blizzard IS WATCHING. That’s all we need for now, until you guys hire a 16 year old high school dropout to take 10 minutes to look at the kolbot source code and figure out a signature so you can unambiguously (8) via automated processes like in 11/2017.
