I would like someone from SE to make a statement about whether or not in-game macros being spammed is "botting." Lots of players are using keyboards and controllers with Turbo buttons and holding it down with a rubber band or however else and "botting" things like sheep for fleece. I could turn off /shouts if all of the "SO AND SO IS A BOT, REPORT THEM" shouts bothered me, but with all of the conflict and unnecessary threads on Lodestone that this causes, I can't help but wonder if a lot of this hate and ill-well could be avoided if SE would just speak up on the matter. Either tell people that in-game macros are fine, change how in-game macros work or define it as "botting" and start giving people warnings and temp-bans for it.

Also, if you fixed crafting and made HQ materials matter again or made it so people with terrible gear couldn't get 100% HQ so easily, this "botting" matter would be a lot less prevalent as there would be other markets for people to make money with.
