botting.

I was crafting stopped to take a shower and got called a bot once....people just wanna press that panic button the minute they see a guy kneeling in craft mode at times.

Some people are just too thick to understand that people are most likely being AFK when you're not doing anything, not moving, not talking, and not making any action. I got screamed at for not replying, and got called "snob" because the person thought I felt superior and didn't want to talk. Some people are just.....weird.

Players who aren't so touchy about being accused of botting probably don't even glance up at their screen. So the notion that not responding while crafting makes you a bot is a complete myth. Anyone who has legitimately levelled multiple crafts to 50 knows this. It is a time-consuming process and extremely repetitive. No one wants to continuously stare at the screen while they simply hit the Enter key repeatedly.

Right. Crafting is a task enough that it would render me in no mood of trying to entertain or satisfy other people. And sometimes the chatlog runs so fast it could push stuff off the screen easily before I glance at the screen. Heck, I missed a lot of LS chat and /tells due to this, and it's a pain to scroll all the way up to look again at what I might have missed. I now have a chatlog tab dedicated to LS message, and another for /tell and /say, but I still miss the /tell and /say once in a while because I'm usually on my LS TAB.

Not to mention that now the chat input line is kinda broken (spacebar wouldn't bring up chat line while in the middle of a synthesis/gathering action) so it's now an even bigger hassle to talk while crafting/gathering. We got a promise from the devs team that they will fix it though.
