Let's face it, this is ultimately futile in the long run with the bot-detection software in this day and age. But is it really worth the permaban and/or account wipe?

For starters, the only one that I've seen is the "spambot," which advertises for an fail scam site and only lasts for an few hours before it's demise, as demonstrated by this faggot. Well besides embarrassing the shit out of your "sponsor" and contributing nothing to the game, their language in that screenshot was justified.

But the only other type of botting that I've heard of is when an player is too lazy (or occupied by real life stuff) to play the game. So they use an "aimbot" or something like it to (terribly) play the game to grind exp and money (like this will work as intended).

Post your theories on why people bot in your favorite game here.

Or we could not, as this topic really isn't going to gather anything except complaining, justified though it might be.
