Just because people still play here doesn't mean they shouldn't complain about serious issues. If you don't care that you regularly play with bots, don't care about the issue or don't like to read about it then put those people on your ignore list. There's no need to disparage the people negatively affected by the situation who just wish to play some online poker without having to constantly deal with cheaters at every table.
A considerable amount of money gets sucked up by these bots, that usually never even move up in stakes, instead of a larger amount of the real players being able to win some money and move up. This negatively affects everybody on the network who isn't using a bot or benefiting from the rake the bots produce. It's allowing shady **** like this to go on that keeps more players from depositing to play at these sites.
Mr. TD likes to spin the issue and say that it's the mention of bots by posters that is the reason why more recs don't deposit.
Improve the situation for the legitimate players that pay rake to play there and the mentions of bots will significantly decrease. This will allow the legitimate players to recommend the sites to other people and more new player deposits will eventually follow.
I think they've shown that they clearly value bot rake more than putting in place the necessary steps to improve the situation and I feel like this should be known to anybody deciding to play here. I rarely play on this network anymore, but I'll be sure to inform as many unaware poker players in the community as I can until significant progress is made to reduce the issue.
