Game Limits coming back soon

Game Limits Re-Enabled - Blizz Tracker - Diablo Discussion and Community Forums - DiabloFans.com


"In the near future, we'll be re-enabling the limit on how many games a player can create within a certain amount of time. We've further tuned and tested the conditions that trigger this limit to ensure, as much as possible, that it only affects those abusing the Diablo III game service in a way that violates the Terms of Use – for example, by using bots that create games in rapid succession.

The use of bots not only impacts the stability of the game service, but it also has an impact on the player-driven economy. While we regularly take action against accounts for the use of unauthorized third-party programs and bots, this additional measure will help us further preserve and protect the integrity of the game and economy in between ban waves.

Once this change goes live, we're looking for your feedback to help ensure that the limit is working as intended. If you encounter the "Input limit reached" message and feel you should not have, please let us know how many games you were creating and why. This information will help us ensure the limit minimally impacts legitimate players while still protecting the game against bots.

We'll continue to tweak the game limit as necessary, as well as continue to go after the few cheaters and botters that are out there in other ways. Our goal is to help ensure that Diablo III continues to be a fun gaming environment for all of our players, and we're looking forward to hearing your feedback on this change once it goes live.

We will update this post and unlock the thread once game limits are re-enabled."

Oh well, time to do elite farm runs then (and sell my pure gf gear) :F

time to find bigger places to farm gold

This would make me sad if all my botting accounts weren't banned. Prior to getting banned, when discussing things with my friends, this is what I said could be one of the two things to really screw over botters.

I'm glad they're up front about it this time though, saying it's to prevent botters. Last time, they just said "Hurr durr! It's to help server stability!", which everybody knew was total BS. Not to mention how poorly it was rolled out. They purposely rolled it out, but didn't tell anyone, and when people started reporting it on the tech support forums, they took the "deny it all" approach, saying "Weird, we can't reproduce the error on our end, everything must be fine!". Really? You can't reproduce an implemented change that nobody got told about? Eat shit, Blizzard.

Sorry about the hostility, but cover ups, and denying the truth behind things is one of the quirks that really gets to me.

any1 got suggestions on new places to farm?

Not a doubt in my mind that they do this tomorrow and that they tweak it so poorly it again affects normal players. This development team simply does not have its finger on the pulse of the games coommunity.

I think it will affect normal players under very few situations. Like if you're going for the Staff of Hearding, and creating many games fast to try to get, say Leorics Shinbone to spawn. Or if you're creating games looking for certain vendors for achievements. Things like that. But under normal normal play, I don't think many people will see it's effect. They've had enough time to tweak it and have enough internal testing that I don't think it will be as shoddy as last time.

Lol you have way more faith in Blizzard than I do friend.

once we find out the game create limit per hour, we can always put a delay in the script.

if the game create limit work (unlike last time), it just mean less gold per hour.

Perhaps the item price will drop at the same time.

At the end, it is still favor the bottors. (nothing change)

[buds84]

Yeah, game creation limits still favor bots

Will affect my normal farming methods I'm sure as high MF and fast games is by far the more efficient route. I basically start a new game every minute or so, I don't have to farm this way but it will for sure affect me.

Realm down we meet again

[jamesc23]

i dont think this would be such a big deal because you get the same gph doing bridge of k nightmare mode, and that can be done on a 3minute or so timer, so unless the game creation is set to 3minutes it shouldn't really be a problem at all

[Emtex]

I wonder what the limit is going to be ... I'm sure legit players will get hit as well

[PinkiPan]

if its 10 sessions per hour then we are screwed and this wont effect legit players much as 10 games per hour is plenty for them

[yellowspark]

U can just relog,and continue?..
