Which bot code would help

Bots aren't even really aware of the NPCs surrounding them, regardless of the threat level to the owner. Thus, they take no action at all unless the owner engages first, they are hit by an NPC's AoE effect, or they are implicitly ordered by the owner to take action against a specific target.

this is so you can't afk level by standing in a crowded location and going to bed and having the bots just fight all night for you.

When the bots had raid support there were commands you could macro for having an offtank group.

I'm all for it. Just supplying input/feedback regarding the original post.

On that note, wouldn't a priest/hybrid heal you if you were under attack in a high-traffic area while idle and cause the rest of the bots to aggro when the healer is attacked? I know healing is on a much lower priority while the AI believes you are not engaged, making it much riskier.

So many scenarios to take into consideration...

P.S.

I'd like to thank all of the developers, past and present, for the work they put in to this project.
