Wow dude, you have some things to deal with.

Some people think sports are boring, does cheating make it better?

Gathering and crafting are entirely optional activities. They're supposed to be enjoyable. If you don't enjoy them, don't do them.
It's sickening that SE continues to turn a blind eye to exploiting and botting, and more so that you have some people condoning it.

Idk, I do have a feeling that they could at least make mining/gathering more interesting by having a better set of skills that require more thinking like how crafting does it, instead of spamming clicks & rely soly on %.

And fishing can absolutely be more fun since there're a lot of fishing games out there to compare with... lol

I don't see why you cannot do it? Just accept the same consequence as them when it happens.

It is a free country after all.

make the task not boring and the majority of players are not going to bot the task

those that do will be the minority and EASIER to get rid of

as of right now, there are so many players botting THAT particular task, that getting rid of them would be detrimental to the financial future of this game =P

Lol, or they are botting to farm mats and such, and sell them on the market board, then RMT that gil. Sounds familiar to me.

No, that is wholly irrelevant. The purpose of botting is to have a task performed for you without the need to be present/active at the computer yourself. If a person has a bot and is willing to risk using it, they are going to use it whenever they aren't physically at the computer themselves. That's going to happen regardless of the level of enjoyment they would get from the task (or not).

Someone obviously bots and is trying to justify it. >.>

'Legit players' do not bot because it's against the ToS. Most 'Legit players' don't want to get banned.

I just skimmed over the last 4 pages but are you guys seriously attacking a guy suggesting to make gathering not boring ass chore? Will people still bot like gil sellers? yes...But there is still people using the bots that are "legit" players. This forum is reminding me so bad of the swotr forums where anyone suggest a part of the game is not fun and to eat whatever is served to you on a plate is attacked. It's starting to make me a bit nervous for another Tortanic.

No what people are trying to tell him is that it won't STOP botting as people who bot will bot regardless. Some have even agreeded that gathering could be more fun, but yet again... That won't stop botting.
