To do this are enough 10 players. I suppose mods are enough too. They are probably the few that care enough to help this game to improve.

People botting would just make it alot more easier for the killers, which would mean more people raging on the forums ;)

The sad truth is virtually anything is bottable. The only thing we can do is to either discourage it by attempting to making player interaction to the game more desirable or more advantageous. The fact that there is no punishment for botting means that attempts to create one is virtually painless. And while many will agree that some form of botting is acceptable (farming), some tend to do it to the point of watching an idle game.

I disagree. When I eventually have 20 bots running at once, why will it matter if a few are killed now and again? Having a character killed that you personally invested time with is why people rage quit. If I'm afk playing, I have lost nothing when a character dies. Bots will destroy the fun of killing a hand crafted hero, but again, very few people care because the very game itself is fairly broken in terms of play mechanics. :lol:

If you're afk playing, you're not playing at all.

Yep. But here is the problem: Why play when there are so many imbalanced aspects to the game? Why subject yourself to the rage of losing a character that you spend hours developing when you can avoid it by using bots while you go play more entertaining and rewarding games?

In my mind there is nothing rewarding about getting sniped while you are typing, getting raided by exploit, etc. So my answer is the same - fuck playing.

So if you dislike the game that much then why play at all, botting or not.

I had fun with many aspects of the game, and I hope that the devs will address the bigger issues so that I can once again enjoy the game.

Well it sounds like the only aspects of the game you enjoyed so far are non-combat related, which is really the only thing you can't bot.

If you say you enjoy all the other aspects, then why bot the only parts you enjoy?

Which leads me back to my original question of, if you dislike the game that much why play at all?
