Bots will always have an advantage because it's free progress. Even the most devoted player will eventually need to eat or sleep or go the bathroom or... get bored... A bot never will. A bot will sit there clicking over and over and over if it needs to until SE removes it from the game. Pretty much anything a bot can gain is better than not running the bot.
Well, if you aren't a hard core seller, what's your problem with bots? And what is a hard core seller anyway? I follow up my retainers 6-12 times a day, so I guess I'm hard core. I would say that if you have a problem with bots then you are updating them at least that much, otherwise bots aren't your problem, but hard core sellers.
