"So you're using an aimbot... and he's using an aimbot... if you're both going to cheat, why bother to play?"

@oristarA,
I think that a comma would have helped convey they message better. The writer says that writing bots requires a great deal of skill, then he says that using the bots requires no skill. I would write it like this.
"Writing bots requires a great deal of skill, using them requires almost none."
