LOL, I love bots. I don't bot at all, but I find them very useful to cover my own illicit activities. "Hey, how did you get all those mobs to stop hitting you?" "Well, there are bots all over, using non-aggro dude!" I also love that bots never pick up VCs, leaving them for me to grab. And the bots that use skills, I PK mercilessly if they get in my way.
BTW, the only hack I ever use in public is a simple zoom and non-aggro. No vac, no mob speed. In an area filled with bots and hackers (i.e. python castle), no one even gives me a second glance.
Yes, i do think some people have gone overboard with the botting. Especially in Crespo and Draco. But that's what you get when you release this sort of info to the public.
That's just how things are. When you try to help people scum always leech and ruin everything. Last night I got a winger get reduced back to lvl 1 and pissed myself laffing at him for about 2 hours. Summoners need to learn to not afk vac. Afk leveling will get you screwed but afk vac lvling is just moronic.
