The issues surrounding power leveling and the use of bots is that it degrades the game for the gamers who actually work hard to achieve experience and such. What would normally take a 100 hours or more to achieve was achieved in 10 hours or less by a bot. Essentially, the use of Bots makes the efforts of the true gamers seem insignificant and defies the true purpose of any MMORPG. The difference between bots and other forms of power leveling is that your character is not necessarily being played; it could be a completely different character that does the work for you and then you collect what the Bot has earned.

    The question now is not whether or not power leveling and the use of POWER LEVEL BOTS are unethical but rather what is being done to stop such tactics. While there is not much you, an individual gamer, can do besides reporting a character or avatar you suspect to be a Bot, game developers and Wardens, which will be discussed later, are developing tactics to end the game of "cat and mouse" between themselves and these power leveling companies. In order to eliminate Bots and other forms of power leveling, game developers have started banning and/or suspending gamer accounts that have used these tactics. Moreover, through these sometimes mass bans, game developers are allowing other gamers to know when they are dealing with bots and such.
