You have to realize that there are two types of bots out there:
a) Farmer bots - where people are botting to get money to sell to players
b) Player bots - where people are botting to get exp/money for their own character.

I've seen player bots around before - sometimes, they'll be hanging around and talking and joining parties, but then, every once in a while, you see them in a random corner of some map as a bot. Basically, they're people that are sick of the grind but still want a high level, so they'll d/l a bot program and use it to exp without having to be there.

So yeah - don't think it's only the obvious farmers that bot, as I used to. I remember in Lineage 2 when our clan found out a clannie, a respected member that had been around for a while, was botting to get exp. Just a normal guy that thought he could take advantage of an easy way to get ahead - and even though it backfired on him, I'm sure there are plenty more in that game, this one, and others that have gotten away with it.

So - just saying that that's possibly how those botters got into the clan, and it's not necessarily the clans fault.

Unless the toon name was "fjdjfajhgd" or something. XD
