Summary
- The developers defined botting as unattended play regardless of whether it used third-party software, keyboard macros, or another mechanism.
- The policy ended the earlier tolerance for unattended crafting and salvaging after batch crafting had reduced some repetitive work.
- It announced a one-week suspension for a first violation and more severe consequences for repeated violations, while distinguishing unattended automation from briefly stepping away during an ordinary crafting batch.
Editorial note
This is a historical announcement. Plans, prices, dates, and policies described in the original post may have changed; current game behavior and current official rules take precedence.
