People who use bots are cheaters. There is no justification for it. I've seen a couple of people who go on these long bullshit tangents trying to justify it but it's ridiculous. It doesn't matter if you're "hindering others or not", you're cheating if you do it, so get out. Besides, there's virtually no way you can not hinder people in some way shape or form from botting, regardless of whether it's battling or crafting or farming. Crafting bots allow crafters to get ahead of others at an unfair advantage. They can make more money faster and supply items faster. All because they cheated, because they're too damn lazy to do it themselves.
