Killing bots isn't bad. It does divert your attention from other things you might want to do.
Basically if you kill them with your main toon-then at some point you get to waste time with the Sin Eater to wash pk's from that toon.

Also, depending upon where you find the bots, you will probably get rolled for killing them and take the 4% (or whatever loss) when their enforcer arrives.

If you level some alt to be perma red, then you have the time and in-game expense to get that toon geared up---which takes time away from your main (and your in-game goals).

I report them and move on to another spot. It's not worth my time to deal with either the karma or the pk count.
LoL and again a bot thread...one of....how many? 1000000? :D Stop spamming the forum about bots.
Killing bots in mass could potentially be preventing GMs from monitoring reported toons. There was already as post where a GM made themselves visible to a red toon who was killing bots and explained this to them.

I will happily kill bots in an area I want to play in, but I won't go out of my way to kill any. Report them and move on.

Read his question first before making a comment that is for regular bot threads ;)

I would say no, its not bad killing bots, because they're the outlaws and you're not, so go ahead, but be aware of the concequenses of being red ;)

Yup i did it before posting. :)
Killing an AFK player is rude at least... This is not a suggestion to anyone but imagine if everyone had a high lv perma red bot killer, a way to have some fun while waiting for main to regain Vitality :P Easy to do so now with Vitality,even a 70+ nuker with common gear and an augmented weapon and a recharger to cover even the high end places :S WROOONGG!!!! I repeat this is not a suggestion and i'd never ever do that, it will only bring chaos and grief to our fellow silent players and will eventually cause more than 80% of the players to quit.
i kill them especially when they kill my mobs, but when ever they are near or around my spot i take out my warlock kill them and then lose the karma by dieing on warlock.

But i have killed that SuperYo guy a bunch of times and he will ly there, no like the ones i gotta kill now which come back after you have killed em and just keep going.
Hehe... Recently when I was leveling my summoner I saw a bunch of arrogant bots stealing the targets. So I started to heal their mobs but got bored. After I stopped to play I checked what they spoiled (they were goign after a single kind of mobs) and it appeared they were going for steel. Then I rememebred the high prices of the steel in Giran and now I not only will not kill those bots but will leave the mobs they spoil to them:)
no it's not bad. but posting about it is annoying.
A dead bot is a good bot, and a banned bot is even better.
I would say killing bots will help them delevel. Just ignore them and play where they let you. After all they rule the game !

Killing bots are not bad, but not at any cost i would say.

I usually don't kill all the bots i come accross, but sometimes i cannot help myself. :)

I have fun killing those who use botting to gain level for end game, and i even toss them a 0% rez if they have autorez activated just for the hell of it. :D

I'm mean!!? :p

No. you're just annoying cause you feel the need to tell everyone else.
I still love to train bots... but now it's harder as only certain rooms can be trained far enough to train another room...and if there are too many bots ofc not enough mobs to train with. Otherwise, pk wisely: kill the healers first and fast (so they can't rez each other) without them the rest of the train goes down. Or if you have a stun keep the main DD stunned... but it's true, if there are too many, use bot button and leave them alone, gm will check later and verify their automated activities. Then go level somewhere else and check back in a few days to see if the spot is cleared out.

Muahahaha... The funniest 900+ clan points our clan got. Once we caught an enemy from 2 side war clan set on auto-rez. So we gathered 6 or 7 rezzers and rez/kill/rez/kill... Collected the missing points to buy clan luck 2:)
Killing a bit can sometimes benefit the bot more then yourself.

As already said. It can make the GM's job harder & it's deleveling a bot, that possibly wants to be deleveled, plus you go red.

Best thing to do, report the bot, unless they are in your leveling area, then go crazy & have fun doing so! :)
My suggestion is to make a perma red alot that carries around an aug wep with common armor. That way you can kill as much as you want and not worry about sin eater or loosing expensive equipment that his difficult to replace.
not only farmer bot, some regular players also bot, if you kill them, they will return and kill you .

if you piss them off, they will look for you everyday. in the end, you are the one who lose out.


so.....just report them....
It would be good when you kill a bot to have a chance of dropping an item(like a weapon?).... this needs strategy because just like that we can all kill each other and drop items
