and I feel uneasy about other bots because its no longer so much about cooperation to get larger tasks done in game quickly
Just because people don't have to cooperate to meet an enphemeral bar of productivity doesn't mean they *can't* still cooperate for mutual benefit and greater gain than independent endeavor.
The fact that you complain about a lack of forced community suggest your the sort no one wants to play with. And because even with bots you really *can't* do it all yourself (even if you 'could') you think the game ends there.
Combat being "easier" (Translation: Slightly less shitty and more informative, responsive and reliable interface) lowers the bar of participation. A lower bar of participation means more potential participants. More potential participants mean more effective and larger groups.
The only real table turner that could show up and threaten to up heave everything about the way we think of combat would be a competent scripted fighter. In Javascript.
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
