Most of the comments are idiotic. You don't understand the concept of the game.
Diablo II is an ITEM based game. The better the ITEM, the more valuable it is.
Out of this came an economy. A virtual trade for better items or to sell for cash thru auction houses.
Now the bots and scripts were created to get these items out greed for more cash. It was designed to automate repetive runs on boss monsters that yield the best items.
Its not unheard of bots making 20,000, 40,000, 100,000+ runs to get the item drops.
