Anyone could have think to blow up a bot for a little extra NIC in time of need. Not everyone would make an industry out of this. Scale does matter. No big list of rules and regulations about every little aspect of the game mechanics is necessary. Plain common sense should suffice.
If you want to be treated as adults, you need to behave as such. Stop whining, stop mumbling silly excuses and accept the consequences of your actions like men.

This conversation is not constructive, it's a waste of time and it's boring. Get on with your lives and let the devs carry on making this game better and free of exploits.
