That's such a poor excuse, in January 2016 when game was launched it was full of bots getting the resources from the map, if you remember you needed pickaxe item to dig the stones, and they were all botted, they had the advantage over the bot coders from having a previous experience in their Korean servers so they could have done something to prevent it but no, they didn't, there was also some marketplace robots buying/selling via scripts and they knew it because it was in Korea too, they did nothing again... Just wait for patches that latelly will fix the problem by removing the source of it. Anyway, botting ain't that bad, playerbase gets what they need thanks to those bots, as I said they just care about the shop, if there is enough income that's all matter, game will never be easy because otherwise they wouldn't make money out of milking people.
