Harrisonized, I personally believe that whether it's considered botting or not depends on how much attention you're paying to the game. If you look at it at least once every 20-60 seconds, you're playing. If you don't look at it at all, you aren't.
I once used one hand to spam a pet command for a couple hours while doing other tasks with my other hand and my attention, and I barely looked at the computer for the entire time. I call that botting, and yes I admit to it.
I've also tried putting a weight on the Heal button and leaving it on there while I do my homework. I quit after about 20 seconds, but if I had continued I would have considered myself botting because I could theoretically get up and leave and nothing would happen.
If you're using a weight to hold down an attack on Anego, but you're still checking at frequent intervals to make sure you don't get owned by anti-bot, then I don't call that botting.
Oh and

If you're over level 20, it merits a permanent ban.Spamming an attack with your finger while paying full attention to the screen is still a physical method and a repetitive action, is it not?
