Many people cheating, automated bot to farm drops to synth spheres for Escutcheon

[VoiceMemo]

Making all spheres ex is unlike how SE has handled things in the past. They have imposed limits, which is why I think the more realistic fix, even if it's just for 25 days would be to limit the amount of spheres you could produce per day.

Since SE seems unwilling to ban those that are cheating and they just want the money at least this option would give legit players a fighting chance versus the bots.

Kinda off-topic but was farming a lottery spawn nm for trials and there was a farming bot camping it too. The bot was speedhacking and clipping thro the obstacles. Called a gm and the response was an automated msg to contact to STF. It's sad what this game has become.

As they saying goes in the case of the playerbase "You reap what you sow".

People using third party programs and so called 'plugins' opened up the gateway to a mass of cheaters.

I'm not saying everyone uses such programs, but by the looks of it, judging by public videos on the various streaming platforms - The majority do.

Still waiting on SE to do something about the cheaters in palborough mines. They continuously automated bot farm quadravs for fetich items, which they then use automation to desynth to spheres. I have reported them to the Special Task Force for months, yet nothing is done. Either ban them or alter your rules SE to allow 3rd party program use for all.

Botting is completely out of control SE, if you serach and monitor any of the zones that have genkai 50 items you'll see the same people there for hours on end. If you just monitor time/movement you can tell that it is automation because NO one can stay up for 24hrs straight constantly moving.

Please please SE prioritize the special task force to combat cheaters. Work on this BEFORE any other update, this is of great importance, the cheaters are ruining the game.

The dragoon bot army is pretty ridiculous too... it's not sphere botting, but holy cow. Gustav pling while clipped oob then 40 dragoons show up in adoulin.

Are these the ones that were 'stuck in the wall' the other day?

Yup. Shameless. /sea yahse + ceizak

It's because of the harmless third party programs that their are still people joining or resubbing take it away will cause some of the player base to leave.

On a serious note....

Shut up.

Went to crawlers nest today, totally bot farmed. Something really needs to be done SE, please follow the rules you have set out that DO NOT allow 3rd party programs. Turning a blind eye to this much cheating is basically saying use any 3rd party you want. People talk about 3rd party in yells and say openly, bring back the days when this was a violation. Put some teeth on your rules, else no one will follow them, which is basically whats occurring now. The cheaters have no fear of being banned.
