Bots don't help the game, botters in this game just help themselves to isk that they don't deserve.
The PLEX to extend game time is a reward from CCP for people investing their time into the game. Because in MMOs people retain people and as those people that pay by PLEX are playing long hours they assist in doing just that.
It of course also means that people that have a lot of time to spare and might not have much real currency to spare can also play.
Bots don't help with player retention as they don't interact with anyone else and can put people off from playing the game.
The people paying for their accounts with isk from botting are also avoiding paying to play the game and have no right to do so, so they're also depriving CCP of potential subs. I know CCP have been paid already as the cost is covered in the sale of PLEX, but the isk being used would not exist if the botters did not bot.
These reasons are enough without going into more technical reasons (game mechanics) of why botting is bad. Which others have already done in other posts.

The biggest Issue there is with all of this Bot nonsense is that CCP WILL NOT disclose what they found, or what actions were taken against the character/account in question. There are many law enforcement agencies (and this department/section of CCP is exactly that) will tell witnesses and others and make public, their records about what became of a suspect, whether they were arrested (in this case banned), detained (in this case suspended for a period of time), or released (not enough info/proved not guilty). It is completely ridiculous for CCP to continue to say that they cannot disclose such information. We should be allowed to know what becomes of these "suspects" because:
1) We may want to buy a character, but how do we know if it was used as a bot, or was even suspected in botting?
2) As corporations/alliances, we will not want to allow botting accounts into our ranks, as it is destroying the game for those of us that actually play. (this would also probably include the recipients of the isk from botting, which is another issue altogether that I doubt CCP will ever take action against.
3) we as a community should know that that these individuals are suspected of botting, or are completely removed from our society. Why should we continue to live in fear that these accounts are still active, eating our Rocks/Rats and continuing the destruction of our economy.

Now that those characters are locked to the account (forever) on the first strike, you no longer have to worry about that as you can't buy/sell accounts - only characters may change hands. |
