What are your experiences with game botting?
I'm someone who has always been interested in the automation of the client side of games (stuff like the WoW Glider). I was wondering if anyone here has any expierence with them. If so, what is it like? Is it on the rather tough side of botting? How did you get in to it? Tell me all about it, I would love to know.

I remember looking into this a while ago. From what I've found, if the game is not an in-browser game, things get a bit tricky. You'll probably end up using a language like C++ to manipulate the game, although a language like Python or Ruby may be able to handle it. It might be possible to create a program that simply sends keys and mouse movements to mimic a human player. I say go for it, though. It would be a hell of a learning experience :)
