As posted here somewhere, on some other page, botting did have effect on L2. Yes, I used to bot in the past too when I played L2 a lot. But L2 gets boring at the ''end-game'' and makes servers die really fast. Farming was and is a big part of the game. Just think of all the ''nostalgic memories'' you guys have from old servers, I bet all of you have memories from farming, or pvp for farming spots etc. Oh well just my 2 cents. Congrats though to the developers of the new bot program, seems quite easy to use. Dedication pays off I guess.
