Not only will they not do anything about it, but providing these boss and ascendancy carries are going to be considered shady by GGG as they obviously don't want you engaging in that behavior.

hahaha! This game is rife with bots, price-fixers, dupes, exploits and bugs.

If GGG don't like shady they got some bigger fish to fry, lol. Their RMT markets run wild. Chat spam is out of control, but yeah.. they care, hahaha.

Actually bot chat spam is way better than it was during 0.1. Matter of fact, i don't even remember the last time i've seen a bot spam global. Every now and again i get a whisper from a bot but not so often to get annoying.

1. NEVER pay a DIV for Ascension carries (1 DIV is a SCAM and the majority of players know it)

2. NEVER "pay before" boss kill (another scam)

3. Use dedicated PoE2 TFT discord for legit carries which is mainly "scam free"

4. All 8 points can be obtained by 30-60 EX as "payment" for carries.

5. Pay attention to Global/Trade for players wanting to sell Ascension carries for "1 DIV", it's not legit and no one pays 1 DIV. They're trying to get 1 DIV out of players that don't know better. Periodically, check Global where players put the alleged "scammer" on blast and call them out on their 1 DIV sale.

Overall, I would hope that GGG reviews the data on how far majority of players solo Ascension points to which most players "can" solo to their 3rd Ascension. Most builds require a great deal of maxed out gear and Honour to attain their 4th Ascension. This is the part where most players do not put in the effort to go "above and beyond" to min/max their character and solo Ascension trials. Rather after the 2nd Ascension point, would revert to carries to include their 5th-8th points instead of partaking in the grueling grind to solo up to their 4th Ascension.

I'm not trying to advocate GGG to make both trials easy as pie, however, the data alone should provide some indication as to "why" most players are not soloing 3rd/4th Ascension points. Difficulty, pure laziness or the whole system does require some tweaking.

I won't lie, both Trials going for 3rd and 4th Ascension points with the absurd amount of "debuffs" and afflictions against the player outweighs the survivability for majority players mainly because with every new/continued trial (especially in Sekhemas) you carry over every affliction/debuff with you making that journey that much more difficult. This is one major indication that players do not like the current Ascension system due to the fact it's seemingly more difficult than it seems past 3rd going into the 4th Ascension.

You can have all of the Honour Restored/Resistance Urns in your trial, 3-5k Honour, 35% Increased Movement Speed on boots, 3k+ HP, all of it, it still won't mitigate the amount of debuffs/afflictions players endure throughout every trial and when players "fail" due to loss of Honour or the insane amount of debuffs carried over from one trial to the next/last, it demotivates players to keep trying.

Personally, majority of my characters solo'd up to their 3rd Ascension while my Level 93 LS Huntress attempted their 4th Ascension in Sekhemas, by the time I've reached the 4th Trial with ~2.8k Honour left (started with ~4.8k Honour) and 15+ debuffs/afflictions (unlucky I guess even though I tried to mitigate them as much as I could) by the time I reached the last boss, I was down 1.3k Honour. Well, it didn't take long to lose all of that Honour and fail the trial mainly because I've never attempted the 4th and final boss before since it was my first time attempting 4th Ascension. Personally, the 4th trial isn't going to brick your build if you don't have your 4th Ascension points. Still clearing T16 maps with ease with only 3 Ascension points. So, it's more of a personal choice to get the 4th, not much a "need".
