Bots are used for two main purposes in WoW: farming and faster leveling. Farming is much more harmful to the game than auto-leveling. Too much farming would ruin the in-game economy and cripple an essential part of the game. Farmers also often use the sale of gold and items as a pretense to phish passwords, which they then use for in-game spamming. Blizzard should focus on fighting goldfarming and leave people who want to have a high-level character without spending weeks of their time on the game alone IMO.
