I wouldn't think you would get banned for something like that, because the returns are so small and it is a real world solution.
Now letting your pet run wild to do for you while FD and AFK is a radically different situation and while not enabled by anything other than the game itself, it is a detriment to the community no matter how small. There really is no detriment to the community from this other then a few less /ooc loc/direction inquiries once it is maxed.
It is also something that can be done anytime while logged in, whereas something like swimming requires spending time in a zone with water, which is why the numlock in a corner with an eb item method was nerfed (understandably).
