I’m not sure if my answer is going to help you, because its not like I have facts or data to back up my opinions, but I did write my experiences with botting.
Before I started to use Miqobot, I used a programmable keyboard to just do timed macros over and over again, and I can say that I melded and retrieved materia 10k+ times in my house with no problems.. (this took 8 hours a night while I slept for almost a week) Also, whenever I did crafting, if it was a long 2 minute macro for level 60-70 stuff, my character would be crafting for 7-8 hours in my house. Honestly, I think its when you don’t raise suspicion, you’re doing okay. Crafting out in public, for 10 hours, while people are poking and trying to talk to you, and you’re just automating all these things.. looks as suspicious as it is.. being ‘afk’ in your house, is like the least suspicious thing you can do.
Oh I spaced something too.. since it was just racing on rails, I had keyboard macros for chocobo racing, and I did that for 8 hours at a time without much concern too.. but my server is pretty dead.. to summarize all my stories, the more people that randomly come to check in on you (friends or enemies or frenemies), and the more public of a place you do your stuff in, all compounds how dangerous your botting is.
Personally, if I’m botting publicly, I”ve been sitting at my computer, and I just leave retainer checking or inhouse crafting for when I’m away for hours.
A lot of the more complicated fishing things have to be handled in the scenario box, which is kind of a pain sometimes haha. I actually just did this fish, so I can just show u what I went with
fishPreset(double mooch) << I have a preset in the fishing tab that is double mooch, just makes sure I’m always mooching
moochBlacklist(Goldfish) << this says DON”T mooch the goldfish.. I’m not sure if there is another way to say mooch only silver fish.
afkUntil(8:52) << I set up times for when I could fish but this didn’t work, because if you afk near a fishing hole, the fish ‘sense something is amiss’
fish(15) << this says fish for 15 minutes, I don’t know how to check how long the fishing windows will be so I just do generic 15 minutes.
teleport(Estate Hall, 2) << this tells it to teleport to my house after
