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

If it's not a competitive game, why do you care if people are actually at their computers holding down the attack button? It's not like this is such a widespread issue that it's preventing any players that choose not to play the game that way from playing the game.

The only people I can see that have any kind of legitimate complaint about people afk'ing to level are people who are actively trying to get leaderboard ranks that can't attack while afk. If you don't think that's a legitimate number of people, I don't think this is a legitimate problem.

It is not so much what it does directly as it is the indirect damage it is causing to the game climate.

Maybe that it is just me, but I refuse to play games with people who disregard rules and have no love what so ever for what they play.
