Basically, a bot is an illegal program that a person makes to enable people to cheat when playing WLO. Some of these bots enable you to burst for several more turns than what you're originally allowed to with the IM remote. And some of these bots enable people to mass duplicate items/pets/whatever.

And botters are people using these bots.

No, a bot is simply a program that automates something.
The remote control is a bot, and so is the 3rd party bots that people talk about.

Isn't that what I just said? o_O A program someone makes who is not affiliated in any way whatsoever to IGG is a third party program and the majority of the time, they are bots.

And no, bots don't allow you to "mass duplicate items or pets". If you believe they do, you'll have to cite your info cause that's a serious accusation and something IGG WILL be interested in looking into since it directly affects their profits.

Some can and some can't. I don't like people advertising them, but I do know that it is possible. I know people who are capable of doing these things, but they refuse to cause they know it's wrong. And me providing physical proof of this would evolve me stooping that low and putting myself in the fire and possibly getting burned. I'm not willing to do that. I have spent hundreds of dollars on this game in the past and I'm not willing to lose that to prove a point & either one of two things happen: either IGG does nothing cause they're more concerned about money, or IGG ban me or something cause they may not believe me. If I wanted to piss away money that carelessly, I'd do it by like buying cigarettes or drugs or alcohol for minors or something.

Who needs to buy IM items if you can just get someone to dupe it for you?

Cause some people do like to play fair, you know.

Bots are not illegal programs. 3rd party software, is illegal in the context of IGG.

That's what I said. Bots are illegal programs in WLO. We're not talking about any other game here. This is a forum for WLO, so it should be understood when someone says "bots are an illegal program" that we know we are talking about WLO...

I'd like less people to be running around saying "bot = 3rd party program" and then perhaps people would care more about illegal botters.

I would like it if people became more educated on what bad third party programs are (ie: bots) and what good third party programs are (ie: doala or whatever the name is). One cannot do something about illegal botters if one doesn't even know what botters are, or what botting is. How are you going to do something about an issue when you have no idea what the issue is in the first place?

I know what it is. I'm not stupid. However you wanna describe botters and botting, it's still bad and it's still basically ruining WLO as a game for everyone who wants to play fair. Third party programs that enable (notice I said "enable" not "allow" "allow" assumes that you are allowed to do something with no negative reprocussions to yourself or anyone else) you to do illegal actions on WLO and IGG needs to step up and do something about it. Maybe if they looked at it as if they got rid of all the botters, banned them for good, maybe they'd see that they may gain tons of more players and income to want to play fair and buy IM stuffs cause they'd not be so insanely expensive.
