Totally agree with you, like ok, it's fine to see 1 or 2 bots rarely because it'll just happen, but as long as they are eventually banned and bots are just generally rare then it's fine. You'll never have a game where it's completely 100% bot free and un-hacked, but bots carry a lot of NEGATIVE aspects to them.
I'm not sure why but I generally get VERY peeved when i see loads because it means
1. The company doesn't care about their customers, and you're faithfully paying them for good service
2. bots fill up space + lag servers with non players
3. If there's as many as L2 you're pretty much not playing an online game at all
4. Bots get very annoying when they steal your kills, loot your monsters and pk you
5. Very unfair for the players who actually play
6.
7. 'Usually' overprice rare items
8. Continue the botting trade by selling their gold, characters, items to lazy people
9. VERY ANNOYING IF A RARE DROPS AND THEY TAKE IT
10. Ruin many gaming experiences
11. If botters bot because they don't have time to play, then why play at all? No one if forcing them to play 24/7 + you're paying for the game + the program to bot so you can have a couple of minutes to show off stuff you didn't earn? Even so how do you get the time to even play?
12.
Frustration
13. Many people quit because of it
14. They steal possible good loot from other players
15.
I'm done...
So yeah.. I hope they make sure botters DON'T come at all to their servers and make such a wonderful and beautiful game go right into a trash can by ruining other gamers experiences. I mean 1 or 2, or ever 3 or 4 bots are fine, but more than that! Then.... Well you get it.
