I bought the bot to level up and do professions and stuff like that. Not make gold.. though I am sure that could be fun too, make your wow money back.. I am usually at the computer when I am botting (watching a movie or something) not that this makes it in any way 'better' or more 'ok' but it gives you better reaction time if someone talks to you, or if someone else is herbing in the area etc.. if you feel like something might go wrong you could always either limit yourself, and be at the computer, OR you could not bot for a couple weeks.
