It's so disheartening when I see someone crafting and I start talking to them, only they say nothing. Then I wait til their synth is done, thinking that it may be hard and that's why then didn't respond. Then when they stop it's like time stops, waiting anxiously for them to say something...only to start another synth....
Just like with sexual intercourse, if you are not interested in having a baby or willing to deal with the consequences/responsibilities of having a child, you shouldn't do it. If you as a player are not ready to deal with the consequences of acting like a bot, then maybe you shouldn't do it. You do not have to watch a movie while you craft, and you do not need to craft while watching a movie. That is a player's choice. The text box information should definitely help people in that situation. I myself watch movies on occasion while crafting, but I never miss tells while crafting. It's not demanding enough for me not to respond to people. I still pay attention to my synths because I want them to succeed.
P.S. I think maybe GMs who are reported to about possible bot activity should go to the supposed offender and observe. If they have suspicions I think they should reduce the durability of their primary tool/weapon etc to 0%. Then continue to observe. As they most likely begin to fail synths, I wonder what sort of things they would observe?
The bot i found that SE wont do anything about
