yes, add-ons are tracable because they are actually part of the game. let's say for example someone makes an add-on to just kneel over and over. it is completely legit and does nothing wrong. i'm making an example and not saying se will allow any sort of player motion as an allowed add-on.

there are some of the more advanced crafting bots that when they run out of materials for one synth they stand to change to the next synth they want to do and then kneel again. if their list of items to create has used all of their materials then the bot kneels over and over until it is stopped.

when a person saw a character in the crafting position all day and then automatically start standing and kneeling over and over it was a good indication that the person was a bot. that was a pretty good indicator that they were botting and they should be reported.

now take that kneeling add-on i mentioned that is completely legit and is traceable by se. if you see someone just kneeling over and over you don't know if it's just that add-on that is legit or if it's the bot out of materials. that basic add-on has blurred the line on whether you should report that character or not.

that is just one example of what i mean by someone trying to blur the lines between legit add-ons and a bot because it has given some indecision on the behalf of the other players on whether it should be reported or not.
I really don't see that being much of an issue. WoW has a very liberal API for their addons and it was still really easy to pick out botters.
