You stay classy, FFXI.

Oh man, I'd kill for XIV to be in the state of XI because then it would actually be LESS botting. So many people in so many FCs botting and getting kicked for it lately. Ps Bersty, they've yet to take care of the botting situation in XIV and RMT situation in XIV and XI is heaven in comparison. Good luck fighting with bots on the Market Board, all I can say.

They handled RMT and major botting in XI fine honestly, the most I see people even do these days is in stuff like Nyzul or speed boosting (you can't hide it.)

This is mostly because there is comparatively less money to be made in XI vs XIV. That said there has been a lot more banning recently and the problem isn't as bad as it used to be (It's still a problem of course, but not one that they can ever completely eliminate)

It does suck in any amount, no question about that though.

Don't worry, FFXI will remain classier than this thread's OP.

If you wanted to move on to XIV, all you had to do is move on. There was no need to cry about an obvious mistake being corrected and making a scene.

Lol jumping off one train wreck right onto another one.

Lemme edit by saying SE has gone to great efforts to minimize the amount of cheating that has occured over the past decade in this game. they even made a task force that went about investigating everything. Adjustments so gil wasn't abused have consistantly taken place, fishing bots have ded down, RMT's messaging us practiclly zero.

Fishbotting died down? um.. No it hasn't-- there's always at least 24 or more in Beau fishboting-- "But Tohi most of them are MON! Stop blaming bots! take off the tinfoil hat bawww errbody dose it why can't you?" bullcrap, I went there as MON and the WHOLE seaside was swarmed with fish bots & fishbotters I maybe saw one other person running around as a monster, thats it. The only way fishbotting is gonna die down is if they make Goblin Bounty Hunters level 200+ and Agro fishing players who have been fishing far longer than any human player should. Sure they ended many an RMT activity but there is still fishbotters and non "Chinese gil farmer" RMT because most of the remaining players encourage RMT & botting, unlike years before if you MPK'd RMT or botters you where cheered on over it (if GM's caught you tho you still got in trouble.) now? don't you dare! or the wrath of the seven deadly sins and his many many other bots-- err I mean "mules" will be after you because you "ruined business":rolleyes:

The best part about monstrosity should have been empowering players to kill fish bots. :D

they could find some way to detect fish botters and put the PvP flag on them and then we can all get on our behemoths and rocs and eat them. Who's with me?

Someone that complains about cheaters and botters going to FFXIV? Well enjoy your time in FFXIV, because there are more botters and cheaters on FFXIV than you will ever see on this game. You can't throw a rock without hitting some botters on FFXIV, Square does very little to counter them either.

If you're bored of the game that is one thing but to use cheating when it's even more rampant on XIV is just silly.

U mad bro?

I don't quite understand how your interpretation of my post being tearful in nature whatsoever. I stated it as one example (a recent one at that) where something was announced as a footnote without prior discussion with the player base. i.e. supporting my stance of recklessness. It's called having an objective opinion, nobody is handcuffing you to agree/disagree with it. Besides the facts, my mog house will always remain a haven of rich mahogany along with my leather bound books, thus remaining the epitome of class.

Boredom =/= Lack of things I find (personally) interesting.

I never implied the cheating was the reason for me cancelling my subscription; rather, an observation of the game's loss of integrity (due to the fact that people have the ability to do said things without any repercussion/punishment). Who, today, would actually be scared enough of repercussions to run through Port Jeuno at 700% movement speed?
