On a more serious note, for the love of God please sort this out SE. I love your game however things like this really bother me, that includes the people who teleport between mobs to get to FATEs and instant tag everything.
i can deal with lag.
i can deal with the broken duty finder.
i can deal with dull boss mechanics.
but i won't accept the hackers and bots.
if this doesn't change dramatically after 2.1 - i'm out.
Working as intended... ha no but seriously they're working on it. XI had such a huge botting and gil selling fiasco because of how much more effort it took to obtain it. I'm sure every gil seller got a chubby knowing this game was coming out and twice as much when it was rereleased. Its a problem, they know, we know. Let's just do what we can and report and shun those who even consider buying gil.
XI's problem never went away but it did get better and better. Takes time and the sellers just hit the game twice has hard then others it seems.
Same here, they've had time.
@ battle, it's been over a month and nothing has stopped the infi spam. I'll be waiting.
Just went to mine and same bots still there from last week, amazing
It takes time, for every bot that gets banned like 2 more are popping up. The banned ones just make new accounts and restart the process. There are a ton of gil sellers in this game, probably more so than other games. It's a problem, as stated in other threads SE tends to ban in waves. Honestly this isn't an easy fix and probably not something that will be fixed in a month of time. I played XI from Rise of Zilart all the way to WoTG, then rejoined to try abby. The botting and gil selling problem never went away just as in any game, BUT it did get so much better. The game just started and hackers/bots/sellers are just using the money people spent on buying the gil to make more accounts when the old ones get cancelled. I promise you from previous experience in more than just FF games something is being done about it. It will take far more than a month, there is no quick fix.
Gil spam is still going strong from day 1, How hard is it to limit chat spam? it shouldn't take more than a month honestly. The speedhacking/botting should also be instantly caught, I too have played many mmo's and not one has allowed the user to changed speed client side and it affect server side. Bots are automated, how is it hard to see someone doing the same task for 30min the exact same way? Oh why is there no in-game GM's? I seen them 1.0 but not one has surfaced in ARR. We can't even have montiering gm's.
You're right, it will take months if SE isn't proactive about things. The whole community should be spamming these boards with this topic, people like you and others who brush it off "give it timers" Aren't helping the cause to better the game. Open your eyes, There is plenty of quick fixes if SE would just do it.
It's ruining the game... no one wants to gather or farm any more.
