NEWSFLASH! Rare/Ex alternatives does not stop botting!

[Shirai]

Won't be for a while either, I'm betting that there's a couple of hundred people out there across the remaining servers that would love to replace their gaiters for the r/e version.
Unfortunately, a lot of them will indeed use a bot. A lot of people don't play fair and never will.

I can imagine only 2 scenarios where you'll ever find a Wyrm just roaming around:
- You're the last person on the server.
- Sheer luck.

That's the problem. The dragons take too darned long to make their appearance that the only people who will be bothered to camp are those with bots and threats of bans won't deter them because you'd be losing your sanity waiting properly for it to appear.

Even when everyone has their old gaiters replaced by the rare/ex version that still won't stop the bots from making regular appearances. As we have witnessed with Vyrtra and Jormungand, none of those dragons are ever wandering alive, there's always a bot camping them and they don't drop anything of seriously high value other than AF/relic upgrade materials, dragon-based materials, and a huge wad of gil.
