Bot accounts = paid accounts.

Look at the real world equivalent. Every day, cops get a complaint about people selling meth on the corner.
The cops can either bust the street level guy, or tail him and bust his supplier.
Which does more to reduce the amount of meth available?
Totally out of context. In our case, the bots make the ISK, not the sellers, whereas in your example someone cooks the drugs and has the "bots" sell them.

Come to think of it, there is reason botting is not allowed. It makes people buy alts. How many have an alt just to do "the boring stuff" or maximize profits?
I really hate to say this, but CCP is more interested in earning kakkies these days than comming up with something original.
When is EVE 2 comming?
If you don't like the 'boring' elements of the game then don't do it. If you don't like EVE then don't play it. You're a brainless idiot if you think you have to grind in EVE. But brainless idiots do bot and try and justify it. If you want to wreck a game for you're own selfish reasons I hope you get banned fast.
Either way you're clearly bad MMORPG player, I suggest you try Hello Kitty Online.
Let me translate:
if u dont lyke ammerica, y dont u GET OUT??? (chorus: yea get out if u dont liky ammerikar!)

The funny thing is that you actually believe that youre potentially supportive.

Supportive of what? That meth thing? I don't give a toss about meth or any post here relating to it.
You seem a little lost.

Because bots/macro pay subscription too. 
CCP loses way more isk on the macros than they would make from their subscription, that is called common sense.
Erm...
Ermmmmm..
ERRRRMMM!!
First off, CCP would not care about "losing ISK" unless they pay their employees with ISK. Secondly, Im still confused about that statement in every possible way, and Im hoping to be enlightened about why that is "common sense".
You may be losing ISK due to botting, but the overall ingame ISK increases indirectly proportionally to the amount of players in game, be it bots or not.
But what matters even more is, even if bot accounts are paid with plexes, and even if ISK sellers affect the plex price on the market and makes them cheaper, that only means that the people who buy plexes from the website and thus ISK from CCP simply buy MORE of them to earn their ISK, which earns CCP real money.

Pretty funny how you believe that 5000 players emptying the high sec belts would effect the mineral market in a different way than 5000 bots doing it. :)
Quality post.

Getting rid of the bots would have an effect on the economy, for the better I would hope. Look at implant prices as an example.

oh gowd not another "the macroers are ruining eve" thread.
Please tell us how they effect your game? More minerals in game = cheaper mineral prices.
That's pretty bad if you're a miner, no?
Youre comparing apples to pears here. As mentioned before, miners are "special" people. "I mined it, so I got it for free"-mentality.
Even in a corp, they only feel like a productive member of it when theyre being ripped off. You could just buy minerals to produce (underpriced) crap with and tell them how useless they are since their colleagues price-wise screw them over anyway, but they want you to use THEIR minerals for production as a sign of approval of their work, even if it costs you only 90% of the market price.
To make a long story short (ololol): You cant save the mineral prices as long as miners mine them.
