Laughs at Noc for thinking that spamming enter is the primary cause...

Actually it is. Don't embarrass yourself Sartori. Being able to craft essentially like a bot, or perhaps even faster, by simply spamming a button on the gamepad while alt-tabbed watching a show is a much bigger problem than botting. Why? because it's not an exploit of any kind and thus even the most ethical players can be expected to be doing this.

The issue is the repetitive and boring nature of the crafting process that leads to a grind in the form of spamming. If they change the process to be more complex and engaging, yet less tedious at the same time then not only will this naturally defer bots but also attract players to pay more attention.
