Many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies would be unable to function without high levels of automation
[...]Automation plays an increasingly important role in the world economy and in daily experience.
No, I do not defend bots in-game and I do not like it. In fact, almost everyday I visit Isle Of Prayer and help the mobs to kill 'botters'. But the fact is that the world needs automation, which inflicts directly in science, more specifically, Computer Science and Math. Unfortunately, we are affected by The Law of unintended consequences (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unintended_consequences), which is quite-well pointed out in Software Engineering.
So, based on the fact that the world is in an era of automation and information, private companies and science will invest their moneys in advance the knowledge of computer science, which will be study in Colleges, Master Degree's, PhD and so on, which will inflict in small business as such as game bots.
To sum up, in my opinion, it is a lost cause to fight the advance of science (unless you try religion, but that is a whole different matter) and therefore, a lost cause to fight bots. At the end, everything is about money and that is a sad true.
Thank you for reading.
Seems like I sum up so much that in the end it isn't such a long post as I thought it would be :D
