The bot i found that SE wont do anything about

[viion]

Maybe if you had the account you've been playing on for 6 years hacked and all your stuff sold you might think differently. Especially if it takes 2 to 4 months to get your character reinstalled to a previous date before you were hacked. I really can't believe there are people supporting rmt's.

I'm not supporting RMT because thats not botting, its a completely different thing. Getting hacked is also a completely different thing, you dont even know 100% if it was RMT, devs from various third party tool sites got their way with accounts lol. Was a whole big thing about it in about 08.

But as said, the topic was about BOTS as stated in the title, not RMT (real-money-trading). Which should be illegal by law as its making money from someone elses intellectual product, but sadly its hard to sue for. (Even Blizzard fail suing sometimes). BOTS is just creating software to automate a process. You doing Find + Replace is an automated process. Same principles (in terms of what botting does).

I am not for or against bots, because they have never affected me, nore do I care who uses them, I play for me, no one else. I dont pay for their subscriptions or product costs so why should I care how they use it?

Most ignorant statement on the forums to date.

This thread is so stupid lol

I guarantee half of you don't pay for music, don't pay to see films, avoid tax's, steal from work, torrent software, download your porn for free.

All hypocrites lol. Cheating life there, and that is illegal by law. Not some virtual service.

RMT and Botting are 2 separate things btw. stop mixing them up. One is just doing something for you, the other is selling intellectual products you don't have the rights to.

It wouldn't surprise me if some of you stand outside your neighbours house and protest that he hasn't cut his lawn and its just not right to not cut the lawn! So you have to stick your nose in!

No matter what you're doing in this game botting will affect you one way or another. Whether it's claiming your mobs, buying up your mats, selling the stuff they make way cheaper than you, collapsing your quarries. selling ridiculously cheap materials (which everyone seems to love, but in reality it hurts those who really do that to make a virtual living on this game)...etc. Nobody is paying for this game now, save with their time, but when we do start paying for it I'd like to not pay for this disservice. It's 'nice' how these botters do not have the same restrictions as the rest of the players that choose not to follow their path of the artificial. They are not limited by time.

And for the record I don't do any of those things you mentioned. I purchase CDs and I even make sure to return pens to work. -. -
