Eh...I don't care for statistics either way. All botting does is damage someone's credibility as a "hardcore" player. I'm 32 as a Lancer at the moment, and while the botting may help I find it more fulfilling to get up to the level cap by myself. Not once have I taken part in an EXP party, and in truth it'll be even more monotonous than grinding away solo. Until the new class/job/discipline progression system is in place: I'll just keep killing more sheep, antelopes, monkeys and wolves.
