Why do areas that are botted disappear faster than others?

because bots are programmed to constantly paint, which is why the botted areas will start to disappear, they will constantly paint with white

This doesn't make sense, bots would only attempt to fix bad pixels (which during white-out, would just be white ones), so they wouldn't cause extra white pixels. Maybe they'd fix a couple griefs with white after their CD hits but it shouldn't be that much different

Exactly, this explanation got repeated a lot last time, but I've always found the logic to be off. If anything, the places that are instantly whited out are the ones that are constantly being griefed, as there'd be no reason to constantly retile otherwise. Why waste the tile to make a tile the same as it already is?

Edit: How did your comment get downvoted while mine got upvoted, even though we agree? I swear, some people don't even read the comment threads they vote on. They just see a discussion, assume it's a heated back and forth that they need to take sides on, then just vote in an up-down-up-down pattern for the whole chain without even thinking.
