Weather you skip earning £5 to see a movie or level to 50, its all skipping shit.
Skip 6 months of working so you can get that legitimate photoshop software, or download it for free in an hr or so, aka (on a smaller scale) work months to get 50 or have a bot do it day/night and have it in a few days.

Yes its "cheating" in game, but irl you're cheating the system put in place to try prevent you from ripping movies or cracking software. But cheating can just also be defined as "To yourself"

People who cheat are just cheating themselfs, it is not directly affecting another in most cases. Just like how people cheat in single player games. You cant ever say you didnt go through your cheatbook as a kid to get godmode and unlimited cash on your fave game. This type of cheating is just ruining the experience for oneself, and why would you care about other peoples experience?

Bots will get banned eventually, but not until SE has made money because like said before, SE is a business at the end of the day, its all about profit, and they probably know how big the bot % is. So you just have to live with it for now until they start affecting you, then SE will ban. Get on with the game and stop being so jealous/upset by something that doesn't affect your gameplay.

PS. Dont even say "they been botting these mobs in x place for ages now so its affecting me " cuse a legit could do that lol.
So you entire argument hinges that we all break the law and effectively take things irl without earning it? Sorry, but you don't know if that is true or not. And to flag that up as some way of saying it is ok to cheat is completely out of context with what this thread is saying.

1) there are obvious bots
2) they ruin in game echonomy
3) IF SE are doing anything about this, what is it?
4) how can we spot them?

By what you're saying, you think that because you assume we are breaking the law irl, it is perfectly fine to break the rules in-game. What was the old saying, "two wrongs dont make a right".

It is silly to even suggest that bots do not effect the game, they do. And it's even sillier to grasp at straw like justification as to why they are ok here.
