I just checked via the RMAH, and 10m gold on US Softcore is $4.20. Read on for much more, and add your thoughts in the comments. Obviously that’s going to add up pretty rapidly. So I’d assume several million a day, per account, is not at all hard for a full time gold farming bots. And I wasn’t optimized for GF, or playing some real gold intensive area, or rushing through just to get gold, etc. I’ve done some experimental runs on Hell, MP10, with about 300% GF and I easily made 200-300k an hour. Doesn’t have to do anything special or even pick up any items just kill monsters endlessly and vacuum up the gold. It’s easy to run a bot with a high level character in GF gear on Nightmare, MP10, with big +gold pickup radius. Those were low probability drops, but eventually they’d come and the items could be sold for RMT by 3rd party sites. Pindlebots and others did thousands of runs looking for the very valuable uniques and sets, and runes. I’ll read over the feedback and try to form a consensus on the main issues. ![]() I’m looking for reader feedback and insight, whether you agree or disagree, since more data = more information and better ability to form a valid opinion. This post is an early attempt at that, with a bunch of observations and a few theories about what and why and how. So I’m trying to figure those out, and just get a handle on what’s going on with bots, how profitable they are, and what their effect is on the Diablo 3 economy. I read some of a huge thread on the B.net forums earlier today, but it was mostly just a mass of conflicting claims and accusations, without any real agreement on the core issues. It seems like fan concern about the spread of bots in Diablo 3 is reaching something of a critical mass, with more and more people complaining about the problem.
