Exactly what I thought. That'd be a good way to prevent overly bot-like behaviors if messaged or tracked and would ensure that nothing went amiss or the bot was being gamed for another person's benefit.

I know the inclination is to assume, as several have, that this is some poor wage slave, but it could just be someone with a second system humming along beside their normal work box or home computer. If it weren't for my objection to botting, I could easily have one system cart a character around while I do something on my laptop right next to it, intervening when needed.
