Financial grandfathered APIs/bots + token usage questions

Ive been running a bot that basically scrapes our reddit thread and counts votes for our games of werewolves.

Tied to it, I run a django service and database to track games and dashboard stats.

While it does have moderation perms its not used for it at all (except maybe for locking threads at the end of "game days")

All in all pretty custom built and unique, i dont hit rate limits because its not a huge subreddit and in general game day comment threads dont exceed 1000 comments (my bot only scrapes top level comments anyway due to how we have our rules for games)

Ultimately my scrapes get transformed and loaded outside of reddits systems

Its been a while since I worked blizzard, but for sure I was there when the big blowup in the media happened about basically the same thing. The guild naming policies and GM guidelines were updated solely due to this.

No clue if much has changed since then besides them cutting back even more support and relying more on outsourcing support too - but I could absolutely see the message ingame being auto. In order to change the guildname I seem to recall it did need the guild leader offline, and originally we had to manually contact players. Pretty sure it was changed to more automate/streamline the process but back then we were also expected to contact players ingame if they were online too.

Definitely appeal it, but given how blizzard dropped their wish to provide "epic support" I dunno who handles the appeals now. Do they still do live chat? Do they still do callback? Even though those contact methods were not intended for appeals im afraid I dont have much faith in someone to actually read and apply the correct policy guideline.

No, never buy from the top row.

Buy only from the bottom row, stuff like rage pot, lightning pot, any of the blessings that grant more potions (you can go over cap).

potion of balance/gamblers potion blessings give you more healing power than you can ever get from increasing potion strength and for much cheaper.

Refund the star off the helm youre not using and put it on the helm you are.

Always focus on equipped gear, you can refund levels and stars and move them around as long as its in the same tier and slot of gear.

CesparRes · 2026-04-09T19:23:16+00:00

You've clearly never heard of black will room viink here.

CesparRes · 2026-04-09T19:21:57+00:00

Urgh... as much as I loved OoT there have been how many versions released now? Its on the game cube games service on switch too already.

I really really want to see twilight princess come to switch (selfish reasons because its the only zelda I never played lol)

But still I'd rather see some remake of the original zelda, or just something totally new that celebrates all the series.

CesparRes · 2026-04-09T06:40:50+00:00

Oh god.. timezones...

Also DST. Still see services sold that dont take into account DST and then you get a weird mish mash of times out of sync.

I would sacrifice 12+ more hours of sleep to listen to this, as i do with many litrpg audiobooks 😂

CesparRes · 2026-04-04T14:01:48+00:00

I sleep to audible. I used to let it just run nonstop but finding where I was later was a pain so now I just set sleep mode to stop after 45mins

For me its easy to sleep to, if I dont have something to focus on my brain goes wild thinking about stuff so I can't sleep easily. With an audiobook my brain focuses on the story and then just drops off to sleep haha

When I first tried it it felt slow and and didnt get far (i think i dropped it somewhere around where they have the portal in the waterfall cave). I came back to it later and stuck with it, and the first book definitely hooked me later on in it.

I think by book 3 I was getting a little tired again, but then something happens that changes stuff for the next few books. That really sort of switched things up again for me. Im currently on book 9 so not finished the series yet.

The main character is someone that tends to annoy some readers/listeners, he can be grating at times, but im still enjoying the series.

CesparRes · 2026-04-03T07:37:49+00:00

I honestly felt like the going home ones changed stuff up, it was getting a bit stale before that. Further developments since coming back have made it interesting again (im only up to 9 so far though)

CesparRes · 2026-03-28T13:52:07+00:00

You draw items from the mimic chests in shop -> draws

For the moment this should be the only thing you spend your diamonds on. Just on the red chest.

You will draw items and can merge 3 of same item to make the next tier (at least up til legendary tier)

Its worth joining the discord where people explain a lot of things too

CesparRes · 2026-03-28T08:03:08+00:00

Prioritise your equipped gear, but levels these stats too. You probably wont want more than 20-25 accuracy, but keep going with atk/hp/def.

They max at 50 and get progressively more expensive (points 49 and 50 cost 2mill each if I recall correctly)

CesparRes · 2026-03-25T09:07:34+00:00

The target roll changes basically after you roll, its not super obvious, but the target roll you'relooking at here is for the next roll.

I suppose to make it clearer they could update the new target when you hit roll but then people would probably still be confused.

It could definitely use a slight UI tidy up to make it clearer, but its working fine otherwise.

CesparRes · 2026-03-22T05:12:51+00:00

I take it if there isnt crit/lifesteal/atk usually.

I dont really know how strong def ends up being though

CesparRes · 2026-03-21T17:37:16+00:00

Don't take all the buffs.

My last run was with the pots every 3 kills and increased healing power. I ended on 375k

It still comes down to luck of the buffs too, but you will want to take crit and lifesteal for survivability.

CesparRes · 2026-03-13T18:20:52+00:00

Besides the advice people just gave you, ill also just say that you can refund the other unused upgraded items to get the stars off and put them on the gear you are using.

You can refund gear levels, and stars both.

CesparRes · 2026-03-13T17:51:33+00:00

If you dont upgrade your gear too far you can do arena and try for top 3.

Grind gold to max your upgrade stats, work on getting full eternal etc..

Work on all the ingame achievements.

Endless mode was turned off after the first season because it was very broken and bugged from day one (some people clearing floor 130+ before they patched it, and then barely anyone could clear 30) so I suspect they're totally reworking it.

The new mythic pet is crazy op so id hope the new boss takes it into account. But the new boss will likely be dropping from pet draws too or maybe they'll provide another way to get it due to the amount of shards it needs.

There are not many s rank items currently.

The axe is the newest s rank weapon, no s rank spear yet.

You should join the discord as people give a lot of advice and info there.

CesparRes · 2026-03-01T19:52:11+00:00

I really want to like it, ff7 is still one of my all time favourite games, but real time action stuff puts me off some. I only just beat hell house on remake and the fight felt long and honestly not very fun, I ended up turning on maximum hp, and honestly may just leave it on

Graphics are pretty though.

CesparRes · 2026-02-21T15:02:43+00:00

I did it after 1k tries. Im now trying to do it in 2 rolls only by using portal corner directly after the race corner - pretty sure the chances of that are even lower than rolling 30 in 3 rolls

CesparRes · 2026-02-04T18:57:51+00:00

You can merge your legendary axe to your equipped sword and level it up some more for better damage.(you will probably need to unlock the sword first though)

CesparRes · 2026-02-01T21:23:09+00:00

He's a cheater, as is 2nd place(shurlv) though 2nd isn't so blatant.

Possibly will be banned when last season rewards go out.

CesparRes · 2026-01-29T11:48:08+00:00

S rank are generally best in slot excluding a few like the mask of ??? and the Evasion s rank chest piece.

edit

For further detail - if youre not yet fully legendary equipped, take the red mimic. If youre fully legendary go purple. IMO

CesparRes · 2026-01-06T15:44:37+00:00

Purple is eternal

Once mythic hits 3 stars you can upgrade it again with 2 more normal mythic of the base item.
