I never did that as I prefer to group with some friends, and besides if a need shall ever occur to group with someone else I'd simply group up with stranger. Sure, if not enough people are online and allowing others to join them I guess "bots" can help, but as the userbase grows I don't think there will be need for that.
Now, to what I consider an actual issue...

It would only spawn if you were actively clicking, would give extra treasures, and if you continued click attacks/abilities against it, it would record the clicks and also never die until a relog.
I'd also begin encrypting packets, and design the creature to spawn random looks/colors to attempt to avoid scripters from being able to track the spawn so easily.
This. This, please. It would be an ingenious way to eradicate autoclick (or at least to make it much harder).
And to those who say "people will quit if they cannot autoclick": I never used autoclick, and only at times click (mostly when I'm in a party and trying to unlock a new area, or when I have a look at the game and luckily notice a treasure spawn). This doesn't mean I click 24/7 of course, as I spend only some minutes doing that and not even everyday. My mouse and my hand can survive that much. And when I'm not clicking (which is 99.9% of the time) I simply keep my game parked to a lower level area that I can farm with only autoattack. Is this unbearable really? If one likes to have the idle running at full potential (auto+click) 24/7 there's tons of single player idle games out there. This is a multiplayer game and it's only natural to make it fair to everyone. Otherwise having two distinct types of attack (auto and click) would be pointless and this game should just have auto attack so that those who don't look for autoclickers aren't left behind. (I hope this doesn't sound as a rant against the dev, because it's not)
I have a slight concern about an implementation such as this. What happens to people, who haven't had a chance to use an autoclicker vs those that have. How will they ever come close to catching up to those that have used them in the past, in the rankings. If the concern that this game is a multiplayer game and that scripting is an advantage, what steps will Ray take to even out the playing field. If he doesn't and he implements something such as that, newer players or players who never 'cheated' will stand no chance of ever competing on the rankings. Well, unless ofc, they spend a ton of cash on the game.
If the ranking board doesn't really matter, than 'cheating' shouldn't really be a concern either. As long as people are having fun and playing the game, that's all that should matter. I'm using an autoclicker now, and when I didn't I was falling in the ranking boards. That could be for two reasons, 1) They bought premium content, 2) they used an autoclicker. Since I've had the game on 24/7 there is no third option. I figured heck if others could use it and take advantage, why not follow suit. I personally don't see it as taking advantage, in as much as I see it as levelling the playing field.
If Ray does decide to implement something to alter scripts and autoclickers, he should give out a free reset. While some may argue that if people wanted to 'cheat' and invest their gold and such into auto stats, that they deserve the loss that they chose. It might lead to a lot of quits. Or it may not, though I don't see people trying to play a game that feel as if they were screwed as being fun. I guess we'll have to see what happens.
