For people wondering about the GM sending a tell to see if you are there, there is one alternative which is add a script to FFXIV that checks every single piece of software, compare it to a list SE has of illegal software then ban anyone and everyone that has said software.

Also FFXI had auto craft, you choose the mats, and it does it, it wasnt involved at all, I know a game of pong for a craft, every time you win your progress increases, every time you loose your durability increases
