in mahumps' sig.
It came to me that the reason that bots mock legits is because legits mock bots:
When bots first came out, everyone hated them and they were like "You cheater! You ruin the game!" etc etc, and the few botters felt bad because they knew it was true, so they said "Well... At least I have a life!"
Then this continued for like 2 years, and now we have it to a point where this is just a full-scale battle.
I figure the solution to healing sro (only partially) is for the bots and legits to stop mocking each other, and to team up against the gold-bots and gold-buyers, just mock them, and try really hard to get them to quit (we must make sure it doesn't turn out like the bot thing, where gold buyers say something dumb like "I have a life, so I can't go trading" or something stupid). If lots of gold bot traps are set up, the price of gold will skyrocket and then people will stop buying gold, and the inflation will go down, and sro will be a bit more normal. Getting rid of player bots seems to be a hopeless battle though, so I think if we settled on goldbot elimination, that might be best (for now).
Thoughts?
