Hearthstone

Some players are apparently botting, and getting permanently banned for it.

I actually wondered if there were cheaters in this game. I suppose people bot to unlock cards and levels without effort or money spent. I suppose there are people selling these botted accounts full of unlocked cards as some kind of business.

Bots are not uncommon in these types of games, though in Hearthstone their use seems limited unless the bots are actually good enough to win.

In LoL there is a recent influx of bots due to the revised Refer-a-Friend system.
You get rewards incl. RP (realmoney in-game currency) and rare skins as reward if you refer a certain amount of friends and those reach the 10th level. This results in people creating accounts they refer themselves, run bots on them (even losses give xp) and get the rewards. In some bigger scale frauds even do this to build accounts loaded with xp, rp, skins and ip (in-game currency) and sell those.

This has always been a problem, however seems to have gotten some traction recently. In LoL you can identify these bots rather easily though (most just run down the mid lane to die repeatetly), in Hearthstone they actually seem to have (and need) a decent AI.

Kong, Turry, what's yer ID's, boys?

I don't know yet. I have a BattleNet account for Diablo III. But I always worry that I'll forget my passwords, so sometimes that anxiety causes me not to try to log into stuff...

I'll try to get everything set up after work today for y'all...

Turai #2176

I sure don't hope it means that there's 2175 other Turais on there.

Don't know how much I'll play though, logged in first time in months earlier today, got butt fucked through a wall 5 games in a row before loosing my will to live and just went back to bed.

It would be fun to have some sort of tournament on this forum, I am however unsure how to make it so ones card progress doesn't matter. Perhaps one could make some sort of randomized deck out of basic cards.

Is it possible to create and save multiple decks?

Is there a "starter" deck?

We could all just save our starter decks and use those in competition.

[VictorViper]

You can create custom decks and can always use the "basic" decks if we want more even fights.

Well that sounds like an easy way of creating an even footing, if we wanted to arrange a tourney of sorts, no?
