As for the article, blizzard beefing up there anti cheat system does indicate to me that ladders are on there way, but we all know ladders will be introduced "soon". Does the above mean ladders are coming like, within weeks? No, I don't believe so.
This is how I think it'll go :
Blizzard announces BOA , Launches RoS, lets the profit flow,,, players start giving negative feedback, blizzard revealed goodies to come to keep players here, IE, ladders, blizzard needs ladders to go smoothly because there most hardcore of players are going to give up all of there real life to try to be the best of the best, so blizzard revamps there anti cheat system , warden. (This is where we are now) after warden is beefed up they will have a ban wave, accompanied by a 10-20% off sale on RoS so they can buy new accounts, after the sale warden will Be watching and latter's should be nice.
My opinion, you guys are right Wight ladders and competitive aspects being implemented soon I too believe that blizzard will try to do a nice sweep to clean house of current botters. Now, with that being said I would assume when ladders go live, if anyone does dare to bot the system, they will lose there account very quickly. BoA doesn't allow them to keep there gear or gold, and I would think people don't want to lose there stuff.
On a side note, I'm also one of the people who don't really care about people that bot anymore. It really doesn't effect too much anymore. Yeah it gives them an advantage for loot nd stuff. And they can be the best for a month or two with there gear shining making me drool lol. But in the long run they will be wiped out sooner or later and all items farmed by botters will go with it. Kinda making botting not such a devastating act anymore.
Now. If I waz that guy who plays 24.7 and was number 2 in the world behind a guy who runs a bot, then yes, I would be furious. So, in all botting it wrong but it happens, it doesn't hurt the game like it used to, and hopefully botters will have enough respect for the game to not break ladders for everyone.
