It wouldn't be hard to get it without botting. I mean think about it, the lvl cap has raised from 35 (last year) to 55 (this year). If we are still fighting the gerbil/hamster thing, it would roughly take 30min for a member to get the class legitly.
Be aware that I am basing this off of last year and I'm just trying to explain how it would work if the complete the quest manually thing interrupts the bots or not.
