Here we go more exaggerations..

You cannot bot in pvp or you will get pwned. Does not affect my gameplay.

Oh? But I thought content created the need to Bot? Guess your MMO experience is pretty limited, because botting/hacking in PvP is the main use bots and hacks get in competitive MMOs.

Also:

Add HNM's and botting is cheating that *does* affect me and everyone else who's trying to compete fairly.

How does HNMs affect your gameplay when PvP doesn't? For one to talk about exaggerations, you seem to be in a weird line of thinking that a gameplay feature would have less of an effect on you than an optional monster to kill.

Nothing creates the need to bot. Ppl bot just because ppl bot, content can only further encourage or discourage botting. And hacking is entirely different from botting, and is not the subject of this discussion. Nice try sneaking that in there but no. Hacking is a different beast altogether, although like botting hacking doesn't really affect you except for certain circumstances.

I've done a looot of pvp, and botting had no affect on me. There is not alot you can do with a bot that normal ppl couldnt do as far as pvp is concerned, and the advantage it gives is relatively small. Sure you can bot heal yourself so you dont have to do it, but a good pvp player could do that anyway just as effectively.

Hacking obviously breaks pvp altogether, but we are not talking about hacking.

PvP is optional as well. Whats your point? As I've already discussed, botting in pvp offers very little advantage. It gives you convenience, and makes you less prone to error, but a "good" player is not very prone to error anyway. A bot cannot beat a good player regularly just because its a bot. A bot will beat a "good" player at an HNM spawn precisely because it is a bot. HNMs and PvP are entirely different, thus botting has different effects on both of them. I can pwn a botter at PvP, I can't beat a botter to an HNM claim no matter what I do. The advantages of botting on HNMs are far more than the advantages of botting for PvP.

For someone with so much experience you should know this anyway. I don't know why im even explaining it.
