It is not good or evil.

It is wrong to do. It is cheating.

If game developers wanted players to be able to automate certain tasks, they would incorporate the automation into the game.

Examples of the game botting for us: Quick Synthesis and Chocobo Porter. Both activities have a normal method that requires more direct inpur from the player but we're given these as options so we only have to press a couple of buttons and the game does the rest.

If someone thinks the game experience would be improved by the game automating certain activities, then submit suggestions to SE for consideration.

But no one should be using bots or other forms of cheating. Those who do it deserve to have their accounts permanently banned.

If you need to cheat, stick to a single player game where what you do has absolutely zero impact on someone else's game experience.
