If there’s enough profit in running these schemes/scams then I imagine there are people who have written ways to hook into the apps and can feed the bots all relevant info needed. Granted I feel like finding some kind of niche in the online gaming world to bot/rmt is probably less ethically compromising but I have no idea what the profit aspect looks like on these kinds of grifts.
(One day I’ll write about how 21year old me wrote a bot for a classic EverQuest server for beer money and post it here, but not today)
