While I agree that players shouldn't bot, the fact of the matter is that a lot of people do. You can tell when someone's botting in an area, if the level 5 npc's are always under 1M resources at every time of day, someone's botting. It just isn't possible any other way.
It's an extremely effective way to win wars, if they can't get any resources, you win. The worse part is that even though eventually they may be caught, it doesn't undo the damage these botters cause other players. Currently i'm on the newly merged ss56 where it's impossible to farm in the area i'm in any time other then just after server reboot. Any other time there's very little food left in those npcs.
Add in the fact that you often find these people have multiple accounts, with some players being so lazy as to have to exact same name in the same alliance with only slightly different numbers/letters to differentiate the accounts. There's not much you can do.
