?
I learned how to program all sorts of automated stuff including bots. My real job is to create automated picture and video analysis/manipulating tools. But I would NEVER EVER use my knowlage to cheat as I would lose all fun playing a game after I "won allready by cheating".
I earn a lot of real money with this tools I create. So it would be no problem to sell 100 PLEX/month. But again I would NEVER EVER use my real money for it as I would lose all fun playing a game after I "won by real money allready".
I pay (normaly monthly price) and play to have fun. Cheating, botting, exploiding DESTROY FUN!
Here here, but some dont see it that way. They get their fun by buying stuff, not earning it. So what if you could play for free... and earn it the hard way,(by free i mean no monthly cost, be it isk or money) would you accept people in the game "cheating" if they had to pay for it with real money? Youre playing for free so you shouldnt complain.. they're buying their isk so if anything they're comlpaining youre able to make good isk for free, no ones better than the other. Buying bots would be an intermediate step, for those who dont want to buy isk flat out, and at the same time dont want to earn it the hard way. I wouldnt even call it a bot, lets call it a wingman, hire a wingman to mine for you for $2 , or however many isk.
if there is a ny god ccp will ban this botter.

Originally by: Aylara It's cheaper to tolerate the bots to a certain amount than to change the game mechanics.
What do you mean "cheaper"? The bots are the ones PROVIDING INCOME for CCP. Every bot generates isk that later pays for 20-50 PLEXes per month. Bots enable people to pay for plex = they create demand for PLEX = CCP sells more PLEX.
The only thing CCP doesnt like is competition from RTMers, but CCP LOVES bots.
Last time they banned bots (unholy rage) PLEX price plummeted down as people didnt have ISK to buy plex = demand for PLEX dropped = incentive to buy PLEX from CCP in order to get ISK dropped = CCP lost money on the whole operation. They wont do it again.
I dont understand your logic, if I buy plex with isk they make no money off me. If they removed plex I would have to buy the regular subscription, unless your saying that ccp generates more money by sselling isk.
