Macro manipulation using 3rd party scripts, is it botting?

I had been trying to find some ideas along this line of thinking about how to help people with arthritus, since the QTEs can be quite spammy (someone mentioned about this in The Royal Menagerie thread, the spam meant after like 2-3 attempts they were in a LOT of pain). At the end of the day, using a program like Synapse IS still cheating, and if caught will result in instant termination of all your FFXIV accounts and possibly your entire SE account (like, SE take a zero tolerance approach to this, it's permaban from the get go). I don't know if using it to allow for completion of a certain phase (like the spam clicking of the QTE) that would otherwise be impossible to do for more than one or two attempts due to disability would be counted as a "Reasonable adjustment", but that's a whole other discussion. If they're not disabled, they must NOT use it.

If they are disabled, I would still err on the side of caution and not use it because there's no official word on whether or not using it to level the playing field due to disability (like we have the equality laws in the UK) would garner the same punishment or whether the GMs would be more understanding. It's likely it'd garner the same punishment mind you to avoid people faking disability to avoid punishment.
