The harder you try to prevent something... the harder others try to overcome that. SE needs to just say "Fuck it. Automated NQ crafting for everyone. If you wanna HQ you gotta play the minigame though."

^ the above would be a quick-fix but still not the approach I would want them to take.
Well, even with a system like that, I can imagine people botting as much as crafting the HQ items to sell for more gil. All they really have to do is make crafting take much less time and much less commands.

However, this still wont be enough to wipe out most botters. They will always exist in any game that allows it. Because there will be those people that can't play a game for what it is. Whether it be enjoyable or not.
