As I , "In terms of botting, it's doesn't matter whether or not the content is interesting - people will still bot it, if they feel it gives them any sort of advantage."

There's also the quote from the thread I linked to in my first post:

"As long as there is a level max, people will do their dangest to reach it as quickly as possible. City of Heroes has a level cap of 50, and not much to do once you get to it. The story and the joy of the game is in the travel up to level 50. Still, a good 50% of the player base there tries to power level as fast as humanly possible, and many time through bugs and exploits.

It doesn't matter that the meat of the game are the story missions done at every level, from 1-50. It's something psychological, to have the highest level character possible."

In short, competitive players will bot if it gives them an advantage, regardless of whether the gameplay is tedious or enjoyable. They'll even bot through the enjoyable content to reach a tedious endgame!
