Um... no it isn't.
Botting is using a 3rd party program to mimic human behavior, ie to play the game for you.
AFK cloaking is specifically not playing the game. |

AFK cloaking is specifically not playing the game. Botting is a computer controlling and affecting an environment without human presence.
No, lack of human presence is not necessary. A person can be at the computer and still be botting.
And in order to be botting, under the definition used by CCP (the only one that matters) and by most if not all game companies, is using a 3rd party program to play the game. |

Do you want to know what happened the last time someone was afk in my system? I could do nothing, because no one can tell he's afk. There's no such thing as someone who is AFK.
Congrats on losing EVE. |

Engaging the hypocrisy drive! Full burn! AFK Cloaking is the counter to Local as an Intel channel. AFK Mining is the counter to... ... Bueller? ... Bueller?
Even then, afk mining isn't so much a problem except when they whine about getting ganked. And then propose stupid ideas to counter ganks. |

AFK cloaking is specifically not playing the game. Then why do they bother?
They as in the cloakers?
They get results by doing nothing. Legally too. |

Well... maybe of boredom. Or panic.
But certainly not in game. |

AFK cloaking is specifically not playing the game. Another ALT
I'm confused, who am I supposed to be an alt of? Especially based on that comment? |
