Low spawn rates hurt real players way more than bots Half the time, I go through an area and all the monsters are dead.  Why?  Because a bot already killed them all.  

The low spawn rate means that instead of me being able to compete with the bots in a particular zone, I literally have to just leave and change channel because as soon as more monsters spawn, the bots warp over and immediately kill them all or just KS the shit out of me.  Plus, the bots don't care about the tedium of waiting for more spawns -- people do.   

At least if the spawn rates were high, I could still get my quests done without having to channel hop every 5 minutes.   

Not to mention low spawns make me hate running into other people.  In RO, I would heal/buff/res other players that I ran into, out of goodwill, but in this game, quest mobs are so hard to find sometimes that if I see people dead or resting with no health, I just think "good" because that means I have all the spawns to myself for a little bit.
