When I say they openly support bots, it is because they have literally said as much. Anytime they are asked about it, they say bots are good and defend their use. Also, any time they make a change like this, they purposely do not mention bots, people just assume it is bots. They don't mention bots because they support the use of bots. What they are actively trying to stop is people with multiple accounts making a lot in bronze. That is it. Not bots. They're okay with bots. Granted people are using bots on a lot of accounts to take advantage, but this is still my point. If they openly allow the use of bots, it is no longer a good excuse for degrading the new user experience, in my opinion.
