Why botting is stupid(IMO)

[Rjain]

There are 3 kinds of people in MMOs. 1) Those who bot. 2) Those who do not care. 3) Those who complain about bots because they don't understand how to make their bots work.

And there are those who resort to stupid comments like these because they don't like being called cheaters.

Go ahead and try to justify how botting can be in any means acceptable. I've heard it all though so my suggestion is you don't even bother wasting your energy coming up with something.

If you cheat in hockey you get a penalty, cheat in basketball you get a penalty, cheat in paintball you get a penalty, cheat on an exam you get kicked out of school. Cheat in Pokemon you're banned from Wifi. You can cheat all you want on a single player game because it's only your game, you're not playing with anyone else.

This is not a single player game. You do not own anything. You do not own the rights to your character. You are not entitled to anything. You oblige Square-Enix's terms and conditions. By cheating, you hinder other players, regardless of what sort of meaningless conclusion or justification you can attempt to make otherwise.

I take it that you're one of those that complains because you can't make your bot work lol. I'm one of those that does not care either way. As long as the person's bots are not having an effect on me directly, I don't have a problem with it. Gather and craft bots: I've never had a problem with. Teleport and such: Never had a problem with. Claiming bots: This poses a slight problem, but it's very easy to work around it. My suggestion to you is to stop complaining about that which you have no control over and go and enjoy your game. If botters cause you NOT enjoy your game, go play a single player game.

tl;dr: Deal or quit.
