Imho, not lazier. Certainly more efficient. I do however agree that in some families children (aged 16-24+) lack the incentive to help with household chores.
Did you bot other accounts on the same IP? And maybe transferred gold from your bot account to your main? I had that happen to me and it got me banned.
Suicide botting is just a definite no-do thing imho :p
Apart from that, I mostly don't bot over-crowded / popular areas, apart from the one account that got banned now
