Seems kind of low for a dozen clb's running 24/7, but maybe the lists of "desirable" IGNs are actually very short.
That's exactly the reason. The majority of the people I knew doing it had only lists of 300-400 IGNs. Obviously all IGNs they felt were the most desirable. When you have that few IGNs, and everyone has basically the same list, only those IGNs would be taken and essentially split among all of them.
Not to mention, some of them were going after IGNs they themselves desired, just as most legits did. IGNs that others might not want.
Honestly, by looking at posts across multiple forums, it almost feels like legit people that did it manually got away with more solid IGNs as a whole when compared to ones obtained by botters.
The only advantage I felt botters had was that some of them knew Nexon would mess up banned player IGNs, and they did. They wiped any player that was billingPP banned, quite a few permanently banned players from awhile back and they didn't block some ex-GM IGNs. See: NXJoe, LAPD, CAPCOM, etc
