You do not think devious enough then. Try having the option of in game user information like the damage dealt and chat info (among other things) being readily available to bot programs so that they could be even more interactive than what is currently seen. Easy enough to have other programs that can send key press equivalents to the game already. But most other bot type activity is dependent on just have a preset position script to follow or needs some potentially intrusive image scanning and interpretation software to dynamically react to the game environment. Check forums on the silly tricks that they have done to mess up bots that they have run into in the past. Now think of it if that bot could detect when it was knocked out and could do a reset and just continue. Or be more to avoid being put out of commission by players just messing up with its routine.
