Seeing this brought back some memories.<p>I used to run farming bots for Diablo II when I was 13-16 years old and had about 20 copies of the game. Bots would run all day (while I was in school), and all night. I&#x27;d wake up early in the morning. Check the loot and transfer it to mule accounts, then restart the bots and go to school. I&#x27;d then try to trade items for general commodity items, like high runes, or certain skill items that were used as a form of trading currency due to their high demand.<p>The bots had some custom features that would let you bypass IP bans by logging into your router&#x27;s settings, changing the mac address, and restarting your internet connection so you can get a new IP address.<p>One of the bots I used was written in the AutoIt Scripting Language. Since the bot was open source, I was able to see how the code was structured and modify it myself.<p>I attribute my introduction to programming to this farming bot, and I believe is one of the reasons I chose to study Computer Science.<p>The cherry on top was that I made about $600-$700 when I was 14 or 15 years old by selling a lot of farmed items on ebay.<p>Personally, Diablo III was a big disappointment for me. The game felt quite different from a lot of aspects. Common loot was now split into player specific loot, too many crafting recipes, unique items were garbage, etc...<p>I&#x27;d be happy to answer any questions regarding Diablo II or even the hacking&#x2F;botting community around it.
