The term Botting is very disturbing.
I prefer the term Surrogates.




That is all.

This thread = abomination.

On topic. I say botting, don't like macroing, or autoing.

I like the word 'autoing', botting at times does sound a bit wrong.

That movie sucked, also Surrogates are nothing at all like bots. Real life surrogates, or surrogates from the movie, neither fits your description.

I also call it scripting, but that probably because I look at it more on the programming side now than the game usage.

I was really bored at the time of making this thread.
But personally, Surrogates seems more professional and macho
