Don't get me wrong though, I don't think people with a few r50 classes are botters (and frankly I don't really care if they are). I do think this crafting system lends itself to botting though and more fundamental changes are needed, that the OP entirely missed.
yes, its easy to craft, but not as easy as other games out there
which is why its a moot point

yes people bot, but they bot in EVERY game, and its worse in many other games cuz lets face it, its that much easier to do in other games(you can use a macroer to do it in other games, and thats alot harder to set up for this)
