Automation paths better than some of the grinding profiles I have seen. I have had to use it instead of grinder because I want to stay to one side of an area.

If you mean the "Automaton" it's located in the "Main" tab, which is the same location as the grinder/quester etc.

Automation is a Wrobot 'mode' which can be selected on the main tab.
Unlike quester / grinder / gatherer automation does  not need a profile to work, just run the bot to the location you want, set a radius and it will kill and gather stuff if you specify.  you will still need a fight class.
Automation is helpful if you are playing and need to afk for 5-10.. just turn on automation and the bot will get some kills for you.  I wouldnt use it for a long time, making a profile is better.
