Is it?
Then why does everyone use bots instead of playing the game?
Since botting gets you so far ahead of others in this game, you can never hope to compete with someone who makes use of botting if you don't do it too. If you don't bot, all you can do is play farmville while waiting for others to bash your head in.
Botting already is a core of the game.
Botting is a core of the game only because of people who cannot stand to aquire their stats/items in legit way and want to do it faster/easier/more efficient.
I personally prefer playing without it, but can't really blame you for prefering easier ways, if they are available or you have enough skill to create them, AND when they aren't strictly forbidden.

In my opinion, that's what custom clients are for. There's a wizard's tower subforum for a reason.
Isn't that enough? Why would developers add a feature, that makes their software rely on other programmers/scripters? Because I can hardly imagine devs writing bots for you to use.
Want a botting support in a client? Go on, write your custom client or download an existing one.
