Is anyone annoyed by the HUGE number of people using bots on this game?

Poor excuse to justify cheating. If it's boring don't do it. If no one does it, they'll improve it. Your mentality makes it worse, since cheating fools SE into thinking people actually craft.

You shoot yourself in the foot with that kind of logic.

You basically just said that one of the better aspects of the game...needs an overhaul like everything else.

If that's the case fine. But if that's the case your ass should not be crafting if it's your decision that it's terrible. So many players will give that excuse for anything, as justification to cheat. Same way with pirating.

Ohhhh welll that product wasn't up to my standards, so I stole it. If it were better, I would have paid for it.
Ohhhh well crafting isn't up to my standards, so I botted it. If it were better, I would have actually done it.

Pa-thetic. What a sense of self-entitlement these people must have. If you don't like it, don't play it. Don't watch it. Don't do it. Ohhhh but they deserve to. They earned that R50 crafting job...somehow. one way or another. In their heads.

Well i am not encouraging botting and i never done it myself. I'm just saying that we see a lot of these probably because crafting is such a pain in this game. If something is fun i am sure you would rather do it yourself instead of seeing a program do it.

other games like WOW make crafting simple. You purcahse a recipe, the materials and then open your recipe book and hit a button to produce 1 item or hit another button to automatically produce the max possible based on the amount of materials you have.

SE had a good idea to try to make it more interactive and fun but it turn out really bad. It is way too slow, too much work and feels like a chore. If at least crafting an item would always result in a bigger amount of item at the end (i know some items will produce 5 or 12 etc items at the end but i would do that for every single thing you craft) and reward more exp to make leveling crafting faster and more rewarding.

Every aspect of the game should be fun. We play video games to have fun right? We dont play to feel like we are doing work.
