*brings up mental wall*

where's my shotgun? there's a zombie infestation that needs clearing.

Yep, Cedarwood. Infested by RMT on Trabia, too. Apparently there's a faction leve there that spawns a large number of Karakul Sheep and the RMTs farm it for the fleece.

I'll need more proof, before I investigate this matter further.

how did i know there would be someone defending bots.

Its suspicious for sure, but i don't see anything you couldn't do with a penny stuck in your keyboard.
Dont even start with rmt i know plenty of legit players that were banned cause they had too much gil and were doing ls payouts or brought mules with them to farm cruor, its fear mongers like this that gets legit players banned.

ill bet if you look on pro these bots got the 10,000 leve achievement. You cant run battle bots with a penny stuck in a keyboard.

also a penny in keyboard, your referring to turbo crafting which SE has deemed as botting.

"Sorry GM, i left my little brother playing and he doesn't know how to reply."

Ok, going off only the OP this is easy to answer


just cuz people are on autofollow doesnt make them bots, or RMT

unfortunately, the use of autofollow isnt against the TOS

Someone could easily have 8 computers with 8 accounts around them doing this and it would be TOTALY LEGAL



however...once they cross the line into using an illegal program or engaging in rmt activity in the future thats when they will actualy get nailed


Suspicious activity is not grounds to ban, remember that in the end, they actualy have to be doing something bannable

Hahahaha, what??! How many pennies would you need to get a player to constantly scan for a target like that? And how do these pennies idependently move each other to give this effect?

Do you also believe in the JFK Magic Bullet theory?

I'm sure that Dokf Skid uses only the finest pennies to make 7 Lalafell follow him throughout town and to crystals to all do the same leve.

However the video isn't showing Autofollow. It's showing evidence of the Lalafells constantly targetting and cancelling. There's no legitmate way to do that, it's obviously a 3rd party program automating those actions.

on my server at the same camp i witnessed a battle bot that ran the same course in a triangle pattern that was farming sheep. I tried to kill the sheep before him to mess him up but he was able to target them before they even popped.
