Bots aren't a real problem, I think it will be a while before bots can outsmart a few humans teamed together. We just need more players. Patiently waiting for pruned block chain etc.
Edit. They do have an advantage over humans right after disaster tho.
Disaster isn't much of a play with the current status. I have more than 50% of the disaster bots turned off right now.
If you are looking to play for the first time, the mandatory cleansing is approaching.
