Bots are essentially a more advanced Macro. Your stopping at having your keyboard press F every X number of seconds. The bots your thinking of are that but also control your game to move you about and automate everything... its essentially the same thing but one is more advanced than the other.
Now on the otherhand if you just wanna have it spam F over and over while you pick up plants no one is gonna care... I know a few people in my guild on Kyrios would do that when our slave driving guild leader would have us pick up Yams from the mansion lol... there were like 2k Yams there... I dont fault them for having a macron on a spam F haha.
