It seems that anytime someone mentions abou the use of bots, PC players frown upon it as if it were an action of the Anti-Christ.
My question is why? They constantly claim about how bots will kill online games? How? Yes, I know they're faceless players, but so are all the other players you play against online. The only difference is that they're soulless, too.
Are these people really afraid of bots taking over, or are they just angry because they won't get their handicap and pwn noobs?
Discuss.

I always thought it was because bots can only be so good and no AI is as good as a top player.
But I don't see how it's such a problem if they're just optional. Although people still bitch about the in-game walk through from New SMB Wii about how it removes all the challenge (although it's completely 100% your choice to use it, so the challenge is still there as long as you can control yourself).

The only difference is that they're soulless, too. Well to be fair bots don't have souls either.

I dunno about on-line games, but log into Yahoo! Chat one time. You'll understand all afterwards. Or the non-private AIM chats. They single handedly killed those. Seriously though, I find them annoying in MMORPGs. Although they seem to be replaced by Chinese sweatshops, at least in Runescape, where they'd flood the american servers and it was near impossible to do some stuff like chop trees or mine for valuable ores. The only benefit is some would stupidly flood the game with tons of stuff, which meant you could buy dirt cheap and server jump to unload it as a profit. They were annoying as well constantly saying "Go away" to anyone not in their sweatshop who was you know... just playing. I gave up on that game after they started flooding the Dutch servers which is where I took refuge a lot of the time. The Dutch players all spoke English and were incredibly nice at sharing and trading.

Let me put it this way, Bots killed about three boards and all most killed two others *Decent one at that* on a certain site I can't mention. Bots are freaking annoying.

I was kinda hoping this discussion would be more about the bot controlled players in online gaming rather than internet bots.
But, I agree on internet bots being annoying and awful.

I don't get why people use bots. Where's the fun if the computer automatically does all the work for you and the most you ever get to do yourself is click watch your opponet die. I imagine it would take all the fun out of a shooter.

Kroot, I love that sig. Are there any other Animated/G1 crossover pics from that artist? And back on topic, some games have pretty reliable bots, while others are just terrible. I usually had great luck with the Bots on games like Unreal Tournament and Enemy Territory. I've fopund that trying to play L4D2 Single Player on a higher difficulty setting, and your teammates leave you to die pretty much.
