    So he was making $1500+ an hour? Well, damn.

    Actually, one of the simplest methods I'd think for 'capping' the economy would be to limit the maximum amount of gold per account. The closer the cap is to an amount actually obtainable by a normal person (5-10M?), the less inflation there can be. And they could also cap the amount of gold any account could sell on AH/day. They could limit the amount of gold transferable in trades between individuals too to limit 'grey' market transactions. I don't think Bliz. cares about overinflation.

    Very much appreciate the abridged version, Marcus.
    Makes the video a whole lot smoother and better to follow.
    Got a like on both videos like you do on everyone of your videos.

    MD, just clarifying something you mentioned. You spoke of a million peso bill and I believe you meant the mil peso bill the word "mil" means one thousand and not one million. There is no one million peso bill. That is based on 6 years living here in Mexico and you can check Wikipedia. So the inflation is not as out of hand as you may have thought.

    They hack the forums (or run their own) to farm email addresses. From there, it's just a matter of a password reset. Beware of guilds that ask you to register on their forums. They could be looking for your emails. Never use the same address as you use on your game accounts if you ever do that. Make a gmail account.

  • @stingy1sam
    @stingy1sam 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have no idea what you are talking about. They were NEVER going to buff legendaries, they said IF they would, they'd do it in 1.1 (the pvp patch, confirmed)

    My friend Mike got his account hacked by a gold seller a few days ago...
    He's still working on getting it back: The guy has played 100 hours nonstop of his monk (and even bought him gear giving 200% gold increase, etc) and has made over $20,000,000 so far >_>

    I don't think we'll see an MMO like UO anymore though, it lived in the infancy of the online era. So many things it did would never even be considered in a modern MMO. 'Tis a real shame. :(

    There are always memory injections every time a packet is sent from your computer to whatever server you are connected to. If these injections don't match up (too many or too less) depending on the activities that are going on it could be investigated.. Nothing is undetected it's just a matter of patching and updating to remove addresses and such from the data storage (blocking/banning).

  • @weckar

    Often the question wasn't answered at all, or is that just me?

  • @Shuizid
    @Shuizid 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Kind of. Every move to remove gold out of the economy is kind of a tax to avoid hyperinflation (such as repairingcosts, using the blacksmith/jeweler and the "tax" blizz takes away from every auction).

  • @Crimsonword
    @Crimsonword 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @electrostatic1
    @electrostatic1 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The big problem with sets are the ones with weapons. They never have near high enough DPS to make them viable at this point.

  • @Laserchicken88
    @Laserchicken88 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Pay careful attention when the farmer says that his and other bots are detectable if Blizz wants to. This goes for every single bot for every game or program. There is no such thing as an undetectable bot/program/hack. It even is a small effort for a programmer to reverse engineer a bot and instantly can add a detection for the method that bot uses. Honorbuddy and other popular bots for WoW are actually not getting banned not because they are undetectable, but because Blizz allows you too.(money

  • @zoopyjoobles
    @zoopyjoobles 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been looking into this. It is not only Chinese running bots, a lot of Americans and Europeans are as well. You can make about 20 buck a day with each account. Apparently Hellbuddy was a good bot app, but it just got purged and the accounts banned. This is only good for Blizzard, as all those farmers needed to buy new copies of the game. This whole thing is a sick direction for video games to be taking. It's madness.

  • @ChrisBowers280
    @ChrisBowers280 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Really informative video. Never thought about the hacking of forums for email/passwords until he mentioned it and then thought, duh, that's so obvious. Definitely understood him wanting blizzard to go after farmers because he figures it will take out the amateurs and leave the pros like him.

  • @Bingbongchingchog
    @Bingbongchingchog 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    These people make millions. 6k is nothing but pocket change. His group are pros, thus they will always find a way around and never go out of business. I love these interviews because you are dealing with very very smart individuals.

  • @tsnorquist
    @tsnorquist 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interesting interview Mark. That farmer sounds like "Nancy Botwin" trying to take out competition before he/she gets nailed.
    The farmer makes a valid point about using different passwords for everything as well. I'd imagine a very small percentage of the world does just that.

  • @Basketballer43
    @Basketballer43 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    when will the giveaway end? is it international (I would even pay shipping)?

  • @DJQuickSB
    @DJQuickSB 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    one thing though that farmer said that isn't really true atm. Legendaries are not worth a lot currently since rares are better in ilvl endgame. Now even more since blizzard stated that the legendaries were going to get buffed (but not the ones allready found) thus currently I'm suprised that they would be a good investment since once they get buffed they will hopefully become better then rares currently

  • @kennymahon
    @kennymahon 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's not just kids, and like I said it's people who have not got the time to play it through 4 times and farm levels, they maybe want to prepare for PvP but don't have the time. And as for your quote on 'you'll have lots of gold in no time' I've played my demon hunter for 120+ hours and don't have a lot of gold...

  • @OursHommePorc
    @OursHommePorc 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    By having a his own ''Server'' (the computer machine) he can run allot of them without needing to run the game at full requierment, no need tu use graphic card or sound or whatever, he only needs a Bot that uses the datas of the game/blizz servers.

  • @NiuFootballFan
    @NiuFootballFan 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's not pointless. It shows an actual live gold farmer in Diablo, and how messed up the market will be unless Blizzard takes action. When even the gold farmers are complaining, there's a problem.

  • @d07RiV
    @d07RiV 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not true at all, there are tons of valuable legendaries and set items (e.g. stormshield, andys, lacuni) that probably won't get changed (other than AS nerf); besides, prices will be very unstable during the first days of RMAH so you can snatch a very good profit by selling these.

  • @stretchypants123
    @stretchypants123 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    D3 is based on D2's vernacular of being a safe environment. Seems like if there are still bots/scripts/programs running then it's D2 all over again. I really, really, really, do hope that Blizzard stabilizes this problem and give legitimate players a fair chance to play this game WITHOUT having to rely on 3rd party services for necessary equipment to get through this game. It's what broke the game in D2 in the first place.

  • @Brekner

  • @TLIMalcom
    @TLIMalcom 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    At the time you'd posted this, legal gold was worth $0.25 per 1m (1/40 of your rate), and as low as $0.10 per 1m from some black market sites (1/100 of your rate).
    Why would you expect people to pay 100 times as much?
    And now gold's down to $0.25 per 10m, which would be 1/400 of your going rate per 1m.

  • @Lokim23
    @Lokim23 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Valuable legendaries that can be beaten by rares or even blues depending on stats. Thats why blizzard is buffing them. Legendaries are suppose to be top of the top. Set pieces are second place mixed in with rares. Blues are suppose to be the welfare until a yellow and work your way up. They screwed the dog on D3 release, the games been broken since day 1. And even my farming methods that make me millions, items, etc. is still secret and never to be touched.

  • @geof98
    @geof98 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have never looked into credit card or paypal fraud for commerces like Blizzard. When hackers use stolen assets to buy games, surely the credit compagnies or paypal doesn't always know that the assets are stolen and must sometimes complete the payments. On top of that, I am assuming that they must have insurance for fraud. If someone knows plz let me know.

    @glowyrm 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can't honestly believe that, can you?
    If Blizzard never touched the game from this point on, then yeah, but they are planning some pretty huge changes additions.
    Most online games like this go through many changes in the first year and get better and better. I haven't seen an MMO or any online RPG come out as a perfect gem.
    Diablo 3 is WAY too young to think that TONS of things won't change for the better.

  • @mummeliini123
    @mummeliini123 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    1.3 is the pvp patch, coming in like 3-4 months, 1.0.3 is the patch coming soon, and it isn't the patch they buff legendaries in.

  • @MustardT1g3r
    @MustardT1g3r 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    A weekend of farming, i.e. playing (not botting) Act 3/ 4 over and over just to make 1m, then I go to get the sword I need to get past act 2 inferno and it costs 5m! It must start to level out at some point, I will never pay for gold or any items on RMAH.
    Meanwhile, Blizzard just disable windowed mode, I have looked into how bots work and they need to interact by clicking on the window. I like using windowed mode to browse AH, but I would give that up to stop botters..

  • @ThomasSilva1997

It made it possible for Pete to speed level through Diablo 3 and therefore max out his character very quickly. Hopefully it will work for you too.

  • @ZZZXYZ

    Even if he/she sold there gold for .50 cents per 1million gold that would still be $30 bucks an hour which is equally the same as doing a above average job, but hes doing it 24 hours a day so he/she is making above $700 a day, thats a crazy amount and botters probably get rich off this

    1) build a barb with allot of GF and average radius
    2)set it at a checkpoint ( favorite was Leoric's manor entrance) to the stairs which have 2 big pack of mobs between these 2 points
    3) record the run with Mouse recorder
    4) play it
    5) made 7m/day
    6) get ban because you are top 100 world Elite and mobs killed LOL

  • @NiuFootballFan
    @NiuFootballFan 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Blizzard did not increase the drop rate, they decreased the drop rate. Most of this video is incorrect. When Blizzard releases new patches they have ALWAYS decreased the drop rates. This helps increase the value of the item and also increase the cost for gold. And as far as the AH become flooding, well that was true, but in your video it wasn't taken into account that it would also be bought out almost instantly. Predictions are just predictions but through reasoning it should've been obvious.

  • @Lokim23
    @Lokim23 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hackers have all means. He even said atleast one in the video of how it happens.

    They were some of the "top" former players in sc2 that could beat most amateurs easily but when it came to facing one another they all had a system and followed it, thus corrupting the game. Blizzcon have to do with anything? Thats where some of the top players come to win prize money of thousands of dollars or more to play each other. That shows how much you know. Your argument is now void and it ends here because now I know I'm fighting a intellectually unarmed man.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you in that bots and people like this are ruining games. But im gonna make sort of a contradiction in that you cant let people ruin the game for you, so what ever makes you able to enjoy the game is what you should do. I feel that once a game is released it should be owned and controlled by the public, that could turn out very badly if it were true but in a naive sort of view that is how id like things to work, but that will never happen. Enjoy what you can attain.
