Can't get into your house? Blame AFK bypassers

You cant right click and report except for rmt. You can still fill out an actual report for cheating through the help desk in game.

You'd still have to actively monitor player search like some kind of stalker, and make a flimsy report guessing they're automating in your report.

While the alternative of reporting someone who has been standing in the exact same spot in limsa for 14 hours probably isn't going to do something, that AFK bypasser is going to get a lot more reports than someone in a private residence.

Does your question have a point?

You could also have more active fc peeps chilling in their house, I like to craft at fc house or personal house a lot of the time. Didn't they delay demolition?

I ask for proof. You provide a theorem regarding most likely assumption. Assumptions are not proof.

My point? People don't know this definitively. And you know the saying about when you "assume".

He didn't say that it's only the people trying to avoid being ejected from the server that are staying inside their properties. He insinuated that a percentage of those people staying inside are using a third-party software.

We don't have statistics, but you can be certain that those people exist. I have players in my friend-list and FC that avoid being kicked from server and are staying in private places.

Not just a percentage, but a percentage high enough that it is tripping congestion measures in place to prevent people from crashing instance servers. I have *never* seen personal housing get blocked off for congestion before. There are an unprecedented amount of people doing it.

You're correct, but at this point its a very plausible hypothesis, and its the best we have.
