The author refers to botting as "script the game to optimize enjoyment". While i personally am not opposed to botting this is true of all botting. Most people refer to this as cheating because you're not playing the game but the reality is you are merely automating mundane tasks that we consider "below our pay grade".

What more else needs to be said? There are no new ideas just people hybridizing previous ideas.

The problem is that this isn't "freely". This is pushed and prodded from the USA. Often time these people handing out laptops and cell phones were directly or indirectly from the US gov't themselves. If a Cuban or Iranian national was found doing the same things trying to foment revolution and spread of Islamic ideas Americans would be up in arms.

That single party system is the problem we have in America as well.

Homogenized, hurried, designed for purely profit work is not "art' as much as EA likes to claim it is. They are just cogs in the machine of bigger profit. Ask most artists who works for these companies. They hate their work from the corporate side. They would much rather be using their creative vision for something that is truly artistic.

When i raided it sure felt like it.

Are you using kiting strategies? And what system are you playing on? I'm using PC. Try kiting the first boss in the tower with your mage and see if all of your party stays on him. I also played Baldur's Gate ... 10 years ago. So i don't recall TBH. Either way they need to expand the tactics list.

Until they fix/patch the tactics to allow more and a smarter AI where your players don't get stuck when you're kiting mobs around it's a game that plays much more like a TBS(turn based strategy) than an RTS. The squad based play is very clunky and you have to constantly pause the game to assign new commands for your players to execute. Thankfully the cooldowns on most of the abilities are fairly long so it's not a total nightmare but if you hate a game you have to pause constantly to setup commands you will really dislike this game. Solutions: Double the number of tactics at least, Make any untargeted PC auto-follow/attack his target(As it stands right now if you kite a mob your players will gets stuck and just stand there), and give the ability to link commands between players. Let me macro all of my characters' main offensive ability to 1 key as if i'm a 5 boxing shaman.. It wouldn't really be OP because you do that while paused anyways.

I'm aesthetically impaired i'm going to sue because i can't sleep with Megan Fox.

The consumer will start caring about the corporation when the corporation starts respecting the consumer. Right now the corporation will screw the consumer over to get every last dollar out of them and the consumer will try to get everything possible for free. There will never be respect unless the war is ended.

It's likely you wouldn't. The variance on injury to do random act of violence is so high that it it almost conditions us as if it doesn't happen.

As soon as this becomes the norm people will just have to run through fearless tests/scenarios just as an astronaut has to not puke in a zero gravity environment. It's just another hurdle and we'll likely ignore telltale signs in favor of machines but this is definitely an interesting advancement. It should stop the rogue unprepared school shooting type person.

I mean if we do basic math we'll see that they'll get knocked up more
