While I do like the sentiment behind your post, and agree that it should be made harder to bot, one must remember that bots can be programmed to perform almost any task more efficently than a human regardless of how complex it is. This is how we ended up with computers that could defeat chess champions. No matter how complex crafting/gathering is made, it will always be possible to create a bot to perform the same task better than a human could.

The best we can hope for is that SE make crafting/gathering more fun for people who do it legitimately and implement their own bot identification system to allow them to rid the game of those who cheat the game in this way.
