Let's be clear : bots are wrong and mostly used by gil sellers to make gils.
A player using it because "FATEing or gathering is boring" or whatever reason is a cheater. This is in no way a valid reason to me : you do your gathering like everybody else, by riding your chocobo et actually playing. If it's boring, just cut the sound off and watch something at the same time (like Grimm which is equally as boring as gathering but surprisingly a fun watch in this case)
