do you think people would bot raids?

so machamp raid today 3 physical players and 3 that were either really well hidden or spoofing. We started with espeon, espeon, dragonite but i noticed that two 'people' had tranny's. Now the only reasons I can think of for this is they either know jack about the game, were sure it was going to fast to do a level 3 with 6 people anyway or they were bots.
but you need a pass to raid so why would you bot?

Both are possible, now that i have more contact with the other players. They don't look up what good movesets and typings are. A couple thought that snorlax with earthquake was really good for offense and defense.Then wanted to tm it to get body slam, after i explained that it isn't good.

A lot of people just use their highest CP mon...or, whatever is "auto" selected...so my guess is more likely those scenarios...

We all come here, play this game enough and think everyone knows all we do, but in reality, that's far far from the truth...

Yeah. I was at a Snorlax raid and I suggested that people should use fighter types like Machamp. A L35 player said that he would just use his top 6 mon that he always uses and then proceeded to brag that they were all over 3k. Now, I didn't tell him that that probably isn't optimal strategy for attacking in general, but I was a bit surprised that someone at that level would be oblivious to type advantage.

Someone was using a Steelix at our Snorlax raid last night. A Steelix!

Makes sense to me. You set up about a dozen bot accounts for your team. Each bot gets its free pass. You all enter a tier 4 raid. Voila, you are able to solo Tyranitar! Also, your real account is essentially guaranteed to get the boni for most damage dealt and most damage dealt by your team.

I've heard from people that they go to some raids with nobody around and they go to the waiting area and can't get in cuz it's filled with 20 spoofers
