False. Botting is an unfair advantage, allowed by developers for no apparent reason. Before statcaps removal botting allowed you to progress much faster and get a lot of disposable toons, but it wasn't the only way to "get good". Honest ways just took more time.

I don't see the correlation.
Oh wait, right, since there is no point in trying to compete with shmucks who made it into some kind of "achievement" to raid, kill and grief everyone they can lay their hands on (and now with no cap they will very quickly be able to lay said hands on anyone leaving his palisade), I might as well just go and have some PvP one last time... Was that the intended result? I hope not.
