botting.

[Ashgarth]

I'm aware of that, but the GM would clearly see the repeated enter strokes despite not actually being able to craft. It wouldn't take a scientist to decide if you were AFK and trying to craft. If you can't be bothered to even look at your screen while crafting you may as well be botting anyways. Your still crafting without playing the game, I doubt a GM would find any qualms with a suspension or ban on the account "If they even cared about this kind of stuff...wich they don't"

Your furious emails saying "I just wasn't watching my screen" would probably just get a chuckle and a automated reply saying too bad.

That is not true at all. He IS playing the game. Crafting consits on pressing enter for hours, nothing else.
You CAN use skills.
you CAN change the recipe.
But that's not necessary at all. In the end all you have to do is press enter nonstop. Why should we stare at the screen if we can do something else?
People pressing enter while watching a movie are not the problem, the problem is the system that makes it possible. When one of the main mecanics in a game can be done for hours without even looking at the screen then something is terribly bad designed.
