The gist is you write macros/automations/scripts to play the MMO based on your logic.
I decided to do it in bash/curl/jq to make it extra fun and learn some tools I use occasionally but only withheavy man page referencing. After some playing I might be a bash-scripting pro.
I’m the same way. Any game with a level editor or something where I have to build something feels like a waste of time. I’m spending time building someone else’s game instead of my own… so I just start working on my own thing instead.
