Grandpa: "Are you usin those darn bots again!? I don't pay for yer darn games to play themselves! Why when I was a youngin, we used to play our games wit our own two hands and ten fingers!"
Kid 1: "But Grandpa, how else will I eBay enough ISK to pay for my iPhone??"
Kid 2: "Yeah grandpa, don't be such a n00b."
Ahh yes, those will be the days. Classic.

Originally by: James Duar If everyone was using bots, no one would make any money ebaying ISK.
I believe Lineage II, among many other asian-based MMOs, proves you entirely wrong.

Originally by: Shenko Minara Actually I'm pretty sure it proves him entirely right. The only people buying game money are the people not using bots.
Actually no. The farmers controlling the bots do spend a chunk of their income on RMT purchases. Just because they control the bots, does not mean they own them, or even get to keep 3% of what is farmed.
That's like saying a mechanic never spends money on fixing his own car, because he fixes other peoples cars all day long. Rubbish.

You weren't very clear but I assume you mean that once they go off-duty and play the game themselves, then they use their income for RMT?
If that's the case then you're classifying them twice, once as a macro-farmer that doesn't buy any ISK because he has a macro, and once as a player that doesn't use macros. The latter point goes against your argument, not for it.
Well, no **** a guy doesn't buy personal ISK in the middle of working. And guess what, people don't generally spend time and money on their hobbies in the middle of a work-shift.
If that's the kind of moot point you really want to argue, then you should take this Tech II sanity test.
