Besides it being indicative of mechanics that aren't fun to play or perform? It inflates the price of everything that isn't as easily bottable and overall has a large negative impact on the game's economy. The product that is output through effort a manual player puts in to their actions is devalued by virtue of there being someone who puts in less effort, via botting, and has a larger output. One could argue the manual player is not being efficient enough by not making use of botting or scripting, but eventually the game is going to end up playing itself if that is going to continue to be the case.
What mechanics specifically do you think are botted due to them being unfun to play of perform? What mechanics would you like to bot yourself?
What products do you think are undervalued do to other people botting them? Is there a specific market that you feel is offering small prices for something that you are spending manual labour creating?
As somebody who has genuinely never ran more than a clay digging script at any time over the last 5 years, I am having an incredibly hard time figuring out what specific details you are referring to with your vague blanket claims.
I enjoy farming and mining in their current implementation and I think you would be surprised by just how few people are running bots for these activities.
I don't feel that my efforts as a hermit or small-village player are devalued by bots because in my experience almost every market is specifically looking to buy things that would be very difficult to bot. I've had great success buying higher quality items with the fruits of my manual labours.
Finding the game to be boring is perfectly okay, finding that you no longer enjoy it as much as you used to is perfectly okay too.
What is really strange is lurking around in the community of a game you don't like at all and trying to make other people hate it as much as you do by making false claims and keeping negative conversations bumped to the top of subforums at all times.
Want to know a fun fact? I really don't like MOBAs. I tried a few and really just don't enjoy them, they are not fun for me at all.
Guess how many hours I have spent trying to push MOBA developers in to changing their game to better suit my needs? 0
Guess how many hours I have spent making negative posts and starting negative discussions about MOBAs in their respective communities? 0
As a fellow gamer who finds a lack of enjoyment in certain games, I highly recommend this strategy!!!
