It could be just me being bothered to know that even if I went 'no-life' mode to compete for top ranks i would still probably lose to some botter paragon 3500-4000 in the end. I would like to know how the rest of the community feels about botting.Anyway, my point is that half of my drive to compete in a game, where botters will always have an advantage against you, is already gone and I haven't decided yet if I will play another season or this is going to be the first and the last.A season in D3 lasts 70-86 days on average. Also, it took us like 2-3 weeks to get Grand Marshal rank and then we stopped. Still, I presume most of the times it was nearly impossible to maintain activity of 22h/day. We were literally locked in the house for a few weeks one of us sleeping, the other playing then changing shifts. Before anyone says 22h playtime per day is legit let me tell you that I've become 'Grand Marshal' in WOW vanilla playing on rotation with a friend.In fact, yesterday I have watched a group getting World 1st 4-man GR position, each player being above 3100 Paragon, having killed something like 4.5m monsters each and having been online for 22h per day on average (total played time on char / days of s11).To my disappointment I have learned that botting is a thing in D3 let alone something that goes unpunished and thus players are doing it to get an edge over their competition.

First of all, I am a new entry in D3, however, I am also a competitive player with a few World Firsts or Top-Tier-Brackets in my 'gaming history' and so I always aim for high ranks in whatever I may play.
