Im gonna go out on a limb here and guess that what he is getting at is that only those shells that doesnt bot should judge him. Wich probably adds up to 0 shells if you count those shells who are unaware that someone in their shell bots. I dont think he is actually trying to compare rl-sins to cheating in a game.
I doubt it as uncommon as all that. If every shell botted, then every shell would have a slightly larger share of claims at given camps, rather than the somewhat skewed distribution we see these days.
For example, to my knowledge, nobody in Rise bots. No, not even Necrosis. Evidence (namely our utter lack of luck in the claims department) supports that conclusion.
Bots aren't essential to claiming, but they help. So do consistently high numbers at camps, etc etc, but of course people have given reasons why high numbers don't mean as much as you'd think. Oddly enough, those were mostly the people trying to deflect botting accusations.
Bots don't have to be run at every camp. Yes, you can simply have your botter sit one out, so as not to arouse suspicion amongst others.
There can be more than one botter, and they don't all have to run at the same time. Again, so as not to arouse suspicion.
Bots aren't perfect. In the absence of packet sniffers and warp hack, all a bot does is give you a guaranteed accurate claim when the mob you want pops in range. Some people will have a shot at him, but given the delay will be too fast or too slow depending on how fast that person's reflexes are. I've missed claim on various mobs numerous times simply by hitting voke too damn fast and watching someone else claim while I wait for my abilities to unlock.
So a linkshell with a few bots isn't going to magically claim every mob they go out to camp, particularly if their competition also runs bots. They will tend, over time, to outclaim other groups with similar overall numbers that do NOT bot, and have a much higher chance of claiming the ones they really
want to claim.
