Holy shit your so ignorant. Example of how its literately the exact same thing. Take for instance a very serious raiding guild theres two people Person A, Person B. They both have the exact same gear but person A doesn't use a combat CR and person B does. Person B's dps is basically the max it can possibly be cause of the CR's effectiveness. Person A who is still a very good player by hand has similar DPS but not as precise as person B's. Person A loves raiding and is very passionate about it. The guild is going to take person B over person 10/10 times because his dps is better. It doesn't matter how passionate person A is if person B's bot is pulling more dps sorry Person A find another guild. In this example person A is screwed over by the botter and this is only one person this could happen numerous time to many different people all from the result of person B. In the end humans are the one that gets hurt just like your arena example. It's the same fucking thing dude. Coming from a 2.2k hand acted PvPer. If you bot there is no epitome type of botting all botting is equal, it all negatively effects the non botters.
EDIT: Just because your "way" of botting doesn't directly effect players doesn't mean that it doesn't involuntarily hurt them just as bad later down the road. If I steal directly from walmart its stealing, If I hire someone to steal me something from walmart... its STILL stealing just as bad.
You make a solid point, I don't pve, but I can see how this could lead to someone
possibly getting the shaft because someone else is botting. Good point. But in PvP... if it's giving you the upper hand, there is no maybe, it is directly, negatively effecting someone else.
I still maintain that there is a difference between x botting vs. y botting. What you do with your bot, can and does have more or less effect on other people. You could make the argument that me running my bot in randoms to get honor gear is still negatively effecting other players.. this is true. But I would be willing to bet that the majority of players would overlook botting for honor gear, long before they would accept using the bot to cheat in rated arenas/rbgs. Yea, it's an assumption, but after talking with other players about this very thing, reading blizzard forums posts about this very topic, it's pretty obvious where people draw the line.
It's all technically "wrong." Nobody is arguing this whatsoever ... but it's not just a simple black and white situation... some things are worse than other things.
I still think you missed my original point. I don't care if someone bots, for obvious reasons. But you can't take credit for what the bot did. If you interrupt bot, orb bot, ddos or any other method of illegally giving yourself the upper hand, you didn't earn it. It's that simple. That's why I made the original comment, honorbuddy deserves the glad title. I stand by that statement.
