I use triggers to capture information. I use triggers to cause prompts. I use triggers that require commands to start working and shut off after X amount of time. I don't believe that triggers are illegal, per se. What is illegal is the automation of characters while you are doing other things. If I send you a tell and you don't respond for several minutes, you'll likely be put in Hell.
The punishment can be deletion. It has also been punished with losses of levels, loss of gear, and any combination of those two. I would recommend not using triggers unless you are certain you they won't fire if you go AFK. Tick timers are just the same as any other triggers. If you do not respond to a tell in a sensible amount of time, it is likely you will be punished for botting. The severity of the punishment is often related to the magnitude of the infraction.
Quoted for truth. Most of the triggers I use are echoes, simply because the bright teal makes visible what I would otherwise, potentially, have missed.
