"In fact, even mind-bogglingly dumb trades are not uncommon when you have a sample size of millions. "It turns out that in a game like Diablo 3 that has millions of players in each region (Europe, Americas and Asia) there are so many players that have no idea what they’re doing that good and expensive items are being put for sale on the Auction House for ridiculous prices all the time," he wrote. Brook leveraged his impressive knowledge of the game to create searches for specific, much-sought items, and even bought extra, more powerful PCs to help run multiple lightning-fast searches across multiple Diablo 3 accounts. In a blog called A Diablo 3 Story, Brook outlines his experience going from a player to a botter, learning to program and work economic systems while building on a free bot distributed by a friend.Ĭapitalising appetite for rare items, Brook's bot would automatically purchase likely gear that was selling under value, mainly due to player ignorance of what they had. Diablo 3 no longer has a real money auction house, but while it was active it was providing a very nice living for those willing to exploit the system.ĭiablo 3's real money auction house helped a Bulgarian going by the psuedonym Cherokee Brook make over $100,000 in 2013, apparently.
