Gladius gives you information that you

Gladius gives you information that you can watch for but makes it easier manage since there is a ton of stuff going on in the game.

Using an outside program to play the game for you is something else entirely.

Using a bot that will acheter wow gold interrupt spells for you with no interaction other then when you typed in whatever spells you want it to stop is not the same thing as Gladius..

Using a healing sphere bot to place orbs directly under the target instead of having to place them isn't like gladius. That is pretty much altering the spell in a way that was never intended.

Using bots to level characters and farm for you while you are at work isn't the same thing as Gladius.
