    By bot, I mean a program. If this bothers you so much and might cause confusion, I'll edit my posts.

    This is also why you see so many ex-wow players wanting to change the UI elements instead of using the default ones.
    The thing is, other WoW streamers seem to have done their homework before jumping into FF14 raiding (at least the ones I've seen) and they didn't go in it with their WoW mentality and relying on programs. Now a real question: Do WoW raiders use programs for their first clears too, when the raid is till new?

    The way I understand it, a bot is a sort of automation. So in this case, it's an automation of calling out mechanics instead of the person doing it. If my understanding is incorrect, then my bad.
