Well, life is complicated but let's keep it simple - so you're just a jealous? :)
Not at all. First: some - but far from all - ppl hate bots. Second: bots are ruining the economy for you only if you're trying to make a punch of fg by selling your legit found stuff. Bots are not ruining the economy at all for the botters (ofc) and legit players who're just looking for the cheap stuff. Most botters are not doing that for profit, they just don't want to/can't pay for overpriced stuff and they don't have the time for the boring and aimless boss runs over and over again.
Those machines are a pretty good news for the ppl who don't want to sell their family to pay you for those 3 nuggets of coal.
You made a pretty interesting comparision actually - there were ppl called "luddists" in 19th century England who tried to destroy all the machines they blamed for leaving them without work. One can feel sympathy for them, but their movement was doomed from the start. Just like Blizzard's fight againts the bots in the current circumstances where mf-ing and lvl-ing are boring and unchallenging like working at the assembly line.
That was my point, complicated or not - in order to get loose of bots Blizzard has to change those circumstances by making mf-ing and lvl-ing fun again. Casual botters will start to play the game again and botters who're doing it for profit can't sell their stuff as ppl prefer to mf themselves. Until then - feel free to rage againts the bots, it doesn't change anything.
here's a way bots have ruined pvm for me at least.
gearing a char up slowly with whatever you can find is fun, but when you join a public game everyone has heir end game items and clears the game so much faster than you, you'll left with nothing to do, don't feel like a valuable member of the team and it's boring.
as far as mfing and lvling yeah they could add in some new stuff, like maybe a new difficulty, area whatever. but I still enjoy mfing and leveling especially if your character isn't very good and you need to work together with other people to complete baalruns.
and as the weeks go by you see your character gradually improve to be able to handle the game easier and easier.
as for pvp, if no public bots, ladder duels game would be very interesting with everyone using make shift chars, except for guys who probably paid lotta cash for their items, but they probably suck at pvp and are ez.
