For a living, I write bots for World of Warcraft and Runescape. They make me around $200-250 a day, but once I get my new server set up I plan to make around $400-500.

What are your plans for the future, anon? Positive thread :D

good for you anon
can you describe your work day?
what is the focus of your coding output? eg. do you have to write new code to combat anti cheating detection, do you write new code to farm new areas?
have you automated the buying and selling process too? there were a handful of dudes doing that on d2jsp

>have you automated the buying and selling process too? there were a handful of dudes doing that on d2jsp

Only the gold farming and muling is automated. I basicly only work on tuesdays when the game updates, unless there is a hotfix.

For the anti-cheat, I have a bot set-up that sends me a warning if any changes are made, and all bots are temporarily logged off the game.

Sometimes I have to write new bots though, as the area being farmed gets oversaturated, but this hasnt been a problem for the past 3 months.

Cool hustle!
Is this for old school?
Does runescape still run with java or did you have to do it in their proprietary script? How long did it take you to write a bot that worked the way you wanted?

Currently hoarding cheap stocks and working towards a cs degree with aero minor so I can program and build some commercial spacecraft in the future.

I'd start with python, easy to learn and the majority of things you'd want to program can be programmed in it. Learning JavaScript or C can also be valuable

I'd imagine a lot of people would love to work for you, allowing you to scale.
Me from 10 years ago would be such a person with coding skills.
I remember creating dota clones using JASS back in the day, does this thing still exist in Blizzard games?

its a custom strategy ive been working on for the past few months. it adjusts for market volatility r and uses the order book and a bunch of other cool algo/math stuff to determine long/short entries. if your interested in testing it, ill have it ready in a few weeks and can give out a few trial codes to some lucky friends :)

Otherwise to keep up with the positivity of the thread:
> 2 50k AVAX nodes bringing me $3k/month which I immediately sell for cash
> 150k DAI being used to farm yield, I've found a way to get 3x what Aave gives me
