The game itself is being, and has been, damaged in a number of ways from their existence including: further increased focus on pandering to second lifers leading to reduced focus on developing the fucking game; further reduction in average IQ and player skill; giving sane players even more reason to isolate themselves to avoid encountering weird people; psychological damage inflicted when you see them chatting in public or when seeing the search info of those of them happen to also play the actual game sometimes.
The presence and existence of second lifers is inherently harmful.
