"Vicious" is a pretty accurate name - they're ruthless, rude, and don't really put any thought into their fights. Along with botting everything (mostly Fafnir every day of the week.. enjoying your 30+ Aegisjalmrs?) and shit talking whenever they don't get claim, they pretty much suck at everything until they can find enough KC Drks to throw at it.
So it's pretty much become a policy with every other LS to remove any opportunity for them to get anything, because to be honest, watching them fight things for 6 hours is boring as hell, and watching them die is only funny the first 20 or so times.
It's kinda nice to see everyone else on Lakshmi united, even though every LS still has their differences, we'd all much rather see the original Lakshmi LSs get things than let Vicious get anything at all. They've basically made enemies out of everyone on the server, and they enjoy being hated. So, I guess this is what they wanted really?
As for the "every LS has botters" thing - well, that may be so. Most LSs don't openly admit to it and encourage it though. For the LS I'm in, I really doubt there are any claim botters, mainly because we don't actually camp anything that involves a claim contest. There's not really much attraction for botters to join us really.
