Can I use bots to raid?

[provocating]

I did it on my own server a year ago, worked fine. 6 groups of bots, then my group with 5 more bots. So 7 total groups, very little if any lag if you are playing locally.

Yes it can be fun and very much needed if raiding live-tuned mobs. The only thing that brings the whole experience down for me is inventory management. I've developed a series of db triggers that outfit the bots based on class/level (see: live mercs) but that ruins the fun of having that fully customized bot in your group.

That's what I was thinking would make it difficult. Having to manage them all at once, even if the computer itself is able to handle that much AI.

Has anyone tried to develop a bot GUI within the in-game UI? Something where you could run through a menu divided up by each bot in the group/raid and open to a list of available commands or management functions? That seems like a great idea.
