I could see it being an issue if it artificially increases the amount of people running that one section of the story and having an unnecessarily high number of people hanging around those quest NPCs and objectives.

If it comes to people using bots to auto-run that story chapter repeatedly... from previous times when I've encountered bots running the same story quest I'm doing, they're "rude" by social perception and it feels quite distracting to have them on screen. They stand on top of the quest NPC at point-blank range whereas an actual player would position their character at a normal distance for interacting with someone.

And I'm not just saying this because it makes the NPC hard to target - I know there are workarounds for that - but it just feels unpleasant when the character you're talking to is standing 'inside' a random player that just popped up on top of them.
