my two cents:

When I played WoW, I used the famous bot WoWGlider. WoWGlider had a graphical user interface that was easy to use, and after a while, got really, really good. You didn't have to edit .xml files or anything like that.
That being said, I don't play WoW anymore. I started RoM, and I love it. I stumbled across RoMbot on youtube and downloaded it. While it is pretty easy to set up, lets be honest, its not the same as Glider.
Here's some Glider features I'd love to eventually see, because I know I'll be using RoMBot for a while. From reading the forum, it sounds like the programmers are really intelligent guys, and I think they will eventually be able to make this happen:
-Not stopping at every waypoint, but running through it instead. Real players dont stop every other second.
-The RoMBot config tool made by elroy72 is a good start, but it's still a little sketchy as far as GUI's go.
-This would be way down the line, but someone over on the Glider forums figured out a way to reply to /tells via mobile text messaging. Being able to still talk while botting from anywhere, not just at your computer, has obvious benefits, the main of which being to help add to your 'realness'.
-Auto-disconnect when being followed by someone. This is excellent for those not wanting to be caught. You could customize the distance to check for followers, and the time it allowed itself to still run before it disconnected you from the game.
-Glider had a noise it played when someone sent you a /tell (you could turn it off). This might be useful if someone wanted to bot while in the other room but be aware if anyone was trying to talk to them (e.g. a GM, not sure what theyre called in RoM).
-RoMBot's movements seem slightly unrealistic, but maybe thats just an experienced botter knowing what to look for.
Thats about all I have to say about that. Other than that, this is my first post, so I'll consider this my introduction to all. Hey guys :]
