Doesn't sound like it'd be any issue, they're going for things
actually intended to be bots, rather than just stuff that controls how
your keyboard buttons work, so unless you're using a WoW-orientated
botting program to change your keyboard layout, there's unlikely to be
much problem there :-)

Well it was one of the bigger pvp bots this time (doing a whole load
of other stuff too by what I'm reading), hopefully it'll help a bit.
Wonder if there'll be slightly fewer bots hanging out in various
instances now... will also be interesting to see if it affects the AH
market much,, wouldn't mind if mat prices went up a little to make
them more worth selling! 

Going by the tantrums on the official forum the raid leader of one of
the larger guilds on Draenor got done... it's a bit tough luck on the
guildies who have to rebuild now but I've no sympathy at all for the
cheaters, and those who've lost guildies would do well to point the
finger of blame in the right place.
