I would say "players" using bots is a fairly minor problem. The overwhelming majority of the bots around are from people making money out of them. I'm not sure if many of these people really play the game.

For people who don't play the game it might be hard to understand the scale of the botting problem. Recently the majority of the top 100 accounts in the highscores for killing a boss called leviathan got banned. Its not unlikely that in the top 100 there was one real human (who went fron rank 77 to rank 14 in the highscores because so many who were ahead of him got deleted).
