Form what I have been doing so far, the following can help quell a newbie's first time using viewers:
1. Saving to xml is entirely client based. This is data that has already made it to your home. If you see it in draw distance, then it's already yours, and xml saving does just that. You're not making any break-and-enters into SL's servers or any lame crap like that, so fear not.
2. Uploading xml is kinda like "macros" for viewers. The same as if you used your hand and mouse and created each prim with in-world building. Think of xml upload as batch prim creation. Many legit in-world apps do this, like all those prim duplicators and mirror copiers.
3. Be discrete. Don't camp at a mainstore because owners will get paranoid and ban you just for afk. That's happened to me a few times during my newbie days. When I really want to bot something, I buy it, rez it on my land, and spend my sweet time playing with it. If you don't own or rent land, avoid sandboxes, find some land for sale where you can build. Lots of for sale land allow building, so folks can test if a house and all their fucking meeroos will fit on it and stuff. The whole point is to be alone, there are too many folks with time on their hands who will take pics of you doing shit and threading it on sluniverse.
