Should botting be somehow legalized?

[Kerowyn]

I am not sure if SE plans to go the route of other popular mmo's in how they handle cheating but it seems that non teleport hack bots are not being targeted strongly. I trully feel that botting may need to be approached differently then how current mmo's are dealing with it. It is is a wound to those who play the game legitimate working on atmas/farming materials and leveling alts and ruins the entire mmo online side of the gaming industry with all these crap gil sellers/botters.

Short answer : No!

Long Answer : Hell Naw!

Bots make the economy horrible by supplying on overabundance of things people
need that people who are actually PLAYING the game can't compete against.

I hate bots. Why even play the game? There are bots in DUNGEONS for the twelve's
sake. It's out of hand, and glad SE is making a stand. May not be a big one, but it's
getting there. Personally I think they should higher GM's who can be on 24/7 to look
for botters. On Sargatanas, there is a full party of botter farming the lightning elementals
in Coerthas. One bard, 4 white mages, and 3 black mages or something like that. Been there
for ages.

The positive to this - Cheaper prices while having an actual stock. I'd much rather buy 1000 shards for 20-30k than I would for 120-220k.
