I began to ask myself while reflecting on all the years I've played WoW from early beta up to now, what really influenced me to try botting and what kept me continuing my botting career on WoW.
I thought I'd ask other like minded people for their own experience and opinions about this issue.
For me personally, I started to bot when I began to take studies seriously and pursue a fulltime job which made it difficult to invest so much time in doing the grindy Chores that goes hand in hand with WoW Content/Patches. To get the same sort level of enjoyment I had to do the "chores" in order to unlock options. Chores would also help with gathering raid consumables, gold for miscellaneous expenditures and chores that would help reach a certain status with a long rep grinds which would have taken so much time away from other things like a full time job, full time studies which are arguably much more meaningful and time worthy when you compare it on a scale against WoW Chores. Whenever I would find botting convenient to get the chores out of the way I would often wonder if Blizzard could have designed the game abit less filled with chores and re-develop these chores to make them fun and enjoyable. When WoD was announced and there were sneak peeks and previews hosted by Blizzard came to light, I thought to myself that perhaps this expansion would feel less like a chore and it would focus on the "Fun" element, instead what I found was a content that felt like it was the epitome of what WoW chores could have mounted up to and more. While some gladly paid a monthly subscription to do virtual chores, others took pride in themselves and paid mass gold to buy wow tokens in order to do virtual chores all day every day minus the few hours for guild raids and pvp if anyone even bothers now a days.
These days I find myself viewing many positive Legion footage through youtubers yet I have to wonder to myself whether or not if Blizzard will learn from their Warlords of Chores. For all I know the next expansion can easily become Warlords of Chores 2.0
So what influenced you to start botting? For me it was to continue being on the top of the game by letting the bot do the "Chores" for me while I can focus the few hours I have to play on raids and sometimes pvp with close friends. What kept me going with botting was that there were increasing number of chores with each expansions and botting was a great convenience to solve the chores in my absence.
Do I regret botting? Hardly. I earnestly feel it was thanks to botting that I was able to even last as long as I did on WoW. Ultimately I played the game to have some fun and while the risks were always there it was worth botting if it meant I could enjoy the game by artificial means. There are plenty of other games out there aside from WoW which doesn't feel like a chore, if I was bound to move on I dare say I was much overdue to move onto other games. At the end of the day what you really enjoyed was the good memories and times you had which was greatly improved by botting, if the risks means you can graduate from the miserable chores WoW has become I think it's about time you take a step outside and find other games you could have potentially missed out on due to spending long hours investing on WoW chores.

yes I completely agree with your post, and in addition for me, I have always been a 'computer guy', and to me computers are meant to handle menial tasks to make our lives easier. So in some respects, I bot because I enjoy finding ways to make my computer do my 'chores' for me so I can do the 'fun stuff'. Beyond that, I do some programming, I like programming again because its all about making the computer do work that I don't want to do, so with HB (or any botting software for any game/application), I love to play with it and 'train' it to do stuff for me.
