    I've been using computers since the zx81, so my muscles in my wrists have held up to quite a bit of abuse.

    A much more understandable motivation then. People want to laugh, because it's not as life altering as a more major disability, but severe RSI's or Carpal Tunnel is actually a reason I would think it was ok to have less manual input in a game.

    Botting was not an issue in vanilla rift, even with a larger playerbase, the stupidily slow rate of rep gain now and forced IA is what drives actual people to bot fish now, not gold sellers.
    Then 1 dungeon run = 3k rep
    Now 30 instant adventures = same rep
    Its terrible.

    I have to agree. The rate of rep gain in SL is incredibly slow. I play way too much as it is (at least several hours every day) and I can't see getting to max rep with the five major factions until some time next summer. It will take so long that I'm just not going to bother, and I will NEVER do it on my alts too. I definitely see the appeal of bot fishing.

    You need to an ergonomic evaluation to see what you can do to improve that. It's probably posture and possible change of mouse/keyboard that's required. I've injured my shoulder from dual boxing in a raid back in the Daoc days. Raise my hand and pass out. Get it checked out though because it's as serious as lower back pain.
