The bot problem has been an enigma to me, perhaps because I do not believe in buying make believe currency trough my hard earned money or because my pysche just does not allow me to destroy the soul of competition by cheating my way in.

I have also wondered how many people are actually silly enough ( here I use silly to be kind to those poor souls,but you know what adjective truly applies /wink) to waste their money in buying currency. I really wonder what the heck do people use their money for? We can use the excuse of housing, but is housing even worth it now? I have not found a single use for housing besides a nice place for crafting or placing the FC chest and the aetheryte, which are no more than minor conveniences that can be circumvented with Limsa Lominsa :P.

The big question remains, what fuels these people to spam the game with obnoxious messages that only help to alienate any would be customers? I used to think that Chinese farmers maybe had it that bad in their country that they had to do this, but now I think it's just a tradition and a culture for gold farmers to do this to MMOs.

I would then say that Bots will stay in MMOs regardless of demand on said MMO, we can only hope that Developers create better tools for us to keep ignoring them without worrying for our blacklist to run out of space.
