Botting

In response to your two scenarios Harrisonized, I would like you to consider this: imagine that you thought about completing the 1000 drums quest (and I know you have finished it) and you thought about using a botting method of some sort, so you don't have to deal with what would obviously be monotony. Afterwards, you thought you'd apply the same rational with training up levels, so instead of "wasting" time at the computer playing MapleStory, you can do other activities such as homework. Pretty soon, this rational can go through virtually everything you do on MapleStory (except chatting and maybe relocating >_>).

Yes, I do have the drum bunny quest completed, but when I did it, the drum bunnies were located VERY far apart, so using this method would not work. However, I'm not talking about getting to the point where you would ditch your computer entirely, I'm simply talking about doing this AT the computer.
In the first scenario presented, I was actually helping my friend to complete his rice sack quest. I would put explosion on a button, turn off booster (so it lasts longer), and stick a stapler there so that I would have both hands to do another activity. When the explosion stopped firing, I would notice and look up, and reset the 'counter' by touching a Retz.

The difference between that and what most people consider playing, is that instead of using one hand and looking down to read my textbook, I'm using a stapler so I can use both hands to read my textbook. Notice that I would have read my textbook anyways, whether or not I'm using my hand.

And yes, I know people who put MG and Genesis on a macro and afk overnight with autopot and an inventory maxed out on pots. I consider that botting, because the person is NOT at the computer. The situation presented in the poll is considering, let me repeat, that the person IS sitting in front of his computer.

Seriously what mage would do that? Your attacks get nullified after about 80-100 attacks without moving, so essentially if you have Anego pinned up at her movement box, you'd be dead. Saying that, it's impossible for mages to bot at Anego, so no, it's not botting.

When Anego spawns, it can't pass those chair things, so you can stand behind that point and although it's not really pinning, Anego can't hit you. Yes, your attacks get nullified, but they will get nullified whether or not you're using your hand OR your stapler. Either way, you'd have to reset it every minute, hence, sitting in front of your computer.
