Comment I made on a similar point:

"Sadly yes farming, robots and similar are a pain. DEVs really need to come down hard on them.
On the plus side players doing this show no skill, interest or experience in the game, god help them when they meet a real player.
Having a custom mech does not mean you know how to play."

meeting real veteran player they start whining on forum - "nerf this, nerf that...."

It indeed is important to keep in mind that the main reason for botfarming is the desire to make more CBills over time, the second reason is to make CBills without having to be at the PC. That's why it is important to adjust the reward structure so that suiciding (whatever way you do it) and AFKing doesn't give you any reward at all.

well i've seen plenty of bots harvesting the xp as well as cbills. there is more incentive to do this over cbills because xp only comes in with a win, a win with the same damage rates as the losing team equivalent can reward almost 3x xp. many time's i've gotten 125-150 xp for the same damage effort as someone with 350 xp, did they get a huge amount of componant and spot bonuses? i really think the xp bonuses for winning and losing teams should be closed up. this system we have suggests that winning players did a lot more work than losing players which is silly. it's as though they take away losing players experience.

still i think afkers wouldn't dare if a timer of no imputs made counted down in 1 min and then DQ. that means they'd have to hang around punding a fire button everyminute or so which defeats the afk purpose. and dq if you over heat to destruction would work for some suiciders, but yeah that's all i can think off at the moment.

Whats the point of playing the game if you're not going to play the game?

Exactly, try to cap every time since that's the objective.
