Is this supposed to be a joke? Botting is cheating no matter how you look at it, and knowing that has nothing whatsoever to do with elitism. It is against the rules, and when people cheat in games, it's rather normal for many who play the game the way it's intended to take offense at it.

Do you know who else doesn't "do anything actively to bother" me? Drug dealers. And pretty much every single criminal out there. Does that mean I should condone their behaviour? Am I an elitist for having a dislike for people who decide to do things they shouldn't be doing, just because they aren't doing it to me directly?

Those level 50 bots are the ones bringing in the cash the level 1 bots spam us about. So unless you love being spammed (or buying gil), you really shouldn't be defending bots of any level.
