"It's not botting, it's AFK training"

Leeching was much more of a grey area though. 'AFK training' (pineapple whoever decided to call it that, it's botting) is outright breaking rules.

There were a few times nexon announced they considered it against the rules, but people weren't being banned so they didn't care. They just decided to wait for the patch, the ironic part is, the more everyone complains about it, the more likely we're going to have a mass permaban with a lot of collateral damage. Then you wait a week for them to either correct the error or call it a day
