What about competition for resources? I'll assume the muds you folk are talking about have unlimited numbers of npcs/resources? The mud I call home doesn't, with respawns only occuring every 40-60 minutes.

With lots of characters running around killing everything all day long with 100% effecency(being bots) this would cause heartache for the other players not being able to kill the monsters or get the equipment they want. Same goes for any other resources for crafting or whatnot.

In games like this where competition for resources plays a part, bots/fully scripted chars are incredibly unfair for those who actually play the game themselves.
