Blinking: You said its not possible to have it so ppl dont blink. If a few people living at home in their moms basement can figure out this stuff then maybe you should hire them.

Cruor buffs: Good stuff

Tractor: lame excuse.

Overall Camate I am disappoint.

People have also found away to bypass the JA and spell lock while living in their home, SE with paid programs should be able to figure it out in 2hrs, even quicker if they look at the code on those "bots".

Tractor: lame excuse.

It'd be a quicker fix to make it so they treat tractor as a conflux rather than zoning, change the position to a predefined position (the caster that has to be in an ideal spot in order to cast) rather than recompiling a zone, again free lance bot makers have found away to bypass this issue, SE could do the same thing ...
*not saying i use or condone bots just pointing out that you can find this with a google search like "ffxi position hacking bot" or "ffxi no wait ja bot", i've been in endgame shells with people who swear by them on the third party chat server but you go by a code where you dont stab people in the back

leads me to wonder, if the only reason why they ban people from doing this is because they can't do it themselves, if they bypass the pol and use, of say, a lua based thing (oh my getting a dev team of 5 people) like wow they could add these themselves!

ALSO too far away from mob when you ws = 0 tp... this is pointless, you dont loose ammo if you're too far away to shoot and you dont loose mp when you're too far away to cast

I guess if you had a friend who you knew was a criminal you'd look the other way too, as well.

You don't condone them yet you come here and quote two precise search strings to make it easier for people to find them.

im just saying fixes are out there for their issues

If they smoke pot, sure. If they're a serial killer, no. Generalizations never work.

He was pointing out how easy it is for any retard to get these without any kind of effort. It's not like he gave them a secret code with which to get that stuff.

We all know that the blinking issue has been fixed with very widespread 3rd party software. It can be fixed. There are many options for doing so.

Camate please pass along the /gearlock idea posted previously in the "Vanity slots" thread to the devs in regards to fixing the blinking problem.

It's very simple and a breeze to implement. It would just be a simple command that, when turned on, locks a character's visible gear to whatever they're wearing when the command was used. The /gearlock'ed player can then switch gear all they want and would never "blink," so targets wouldn't be unlocked, people targeting the gear-swapper wouldn't lose them, and it would fix other things like BLU self-skillchains not appearing when triggered immediately after a swap.

It carries the added bonus of allowing a player to lock in a fashionable set of gear in which to do battle (thereby giving new purpose to the game's many, many unusable pieces of gear). To prevent any potential issues, /gearlock can simply deactivate upon zoning or changing jobs.

Dose this mean I can run around on whm and look like a blm? After all, I wouldn't blink when I changed jobs. Also, and I think this is an important part to note. What would this do when examined?

Character data is flushed and reloaded on zoning, so after job change should see what they have on now (unless you change at a Nomad Moogle in a visible zone). /check can just show the gear they're actually wearing.

However, there's workarounds for that too. Simple let the character "blink" and reload new gear as soon as the target on it is removed. So while I target someone, let them appear in the same gear, but when target is off, allow them to blink as much as they want.

You didn't read the whole post, did you? Like the last sentence, for example.
