Requires me to actually buy the game. I admit I know very little about it.

I thought you already had it and tried it. Did I misinterpret you and you actually just said that you tried the demo? Or did I just completely misunderstand everything?

How is farming something going to have an effect on other people?

If it's a limited resource (which most things worth farming in multiplayer games are, in some capacity or another), by limiting its availability to legitimate players. Even if it's not, it still stands to affect the game's economy and/or player balance. Heck, if the game is popular enough, simply having the bot online takes away a spot on the server that a legitimate player could use.

It's not inconceivable that the bot in question could have been so completely isolated from other players as to have no effect, but that'd be quite the niche botting exercise.
