this is one reason i do a few bgs a week.
however i have another theory. we are addicted to botting. we start botting and we are amazed at getting things for free ingame with no effort. we are new and dont really have first hand experience with losing a few accounts and how to bot in moderation. its like everything new, we over do it because it feels good to win. whether it be maxed honor, or buying gear. we just cant stop using the bot. we have to be doing something every minute or we feel like we are missing out on something.
this is classic addictive behavior, not just a botting thing, or a wow thing, its psychological.
Very good post. It feels like a "chore" playing WoW without a combat routine now. Kind of like, why walk, when you could fly?
