Botting - why?

Can someone please explain to me why players bot in MUDs?

Not in a "why oh why?" sense; I'm neutral on the subject in terms of good and evil. Though I disagree with it where it's cheating, merely because MUD owners' rules should be respected in their houses.

What I'm asking more is, what's the advantage? I've now tried MMOing and I can see that bots there gather resources for RWT. But why in a free MUD?

I guess there's power-levelling, but given the work to write a bot for a single MUD, wouldn't it be easier to play to level?

Or is it just the coding challenge?
