I'd just like to put it on the record that nobody thinks these rankings are fun

I wouldn't say nobody. I would say that it's a relatively small number of players enjoying the competition (like maybe 100 world wide).

He does need to stop insisting everyone who got a title is a bot, though. That claim is hitting harassment levels.

I know it is completely useless to discuss with you...

But please explain to me how I used a bot on my PS4 to get rank 1 on Shiva and 1.4 mio points on my fisher, when my account doesn't even own a PC license.

(Sorry, didn't found the option to change the language in the mog station, but it should be understandable enough >.> )

I'm sure his reply would be something along the lines of you're lying and faking those images.

He's not interested in constructive discussion, don't bother trying.

I also understand how dedicated some people are, but mathematically speaking, for someone to get the most possible allotted points a day, EVERY DAY, without skipping a beat, is not real. Only bots do that.

I have had plenty of people making up excuses for cheaters, and the "some people have no life" excuse is old, and tiresome.

but thanks for putting in your input! :)

If there is a daily maximum and there was a bot on every server who hit that maximum every day, then the top spot would be said bot and they would all have the same score.

Ah op, there might be some, but not all were. You can't just steal the hard work and grinding of the real Saints and give it to the top 100.

No way I could have ever sustained what those Saints were doing, but I look at the names in my datacentre and I recall those saints-to-be, they were very actively and generously helping newbies to the area - like me - with advice and guidance. Bots just don't do that.

Those Saints deserve their hard won titles, one thousand and one percent.

I got #1 Mining and did 2x the score of #12 almost 3 and they still got the same title. Imagine doing over 20x the score of #100 and getting the same title lol. no way I would rank for that. Also I played 18 hours a day for 9 days, no bot needed.

I'll let you know that I started crafting on the 5th day and I still managed to place 11th on my world with 900k+ score. You only scored 200k something and you are this salty? You didn't even try.

oh someone admitted to botting! nice! :D

Seriously these limited-time rankings are easily exploitable (it's not hard to find the bots that have profiles set up for the Ishgard Skybuilder rankings). If it can be exploited, it will be exploited.

These grind-until-you-pass-out things aren't fun and they're downright unhealthy. /2cents.

Good thing they're optional and only reward cosmetic titles and useless achievement points instead of some form of actual character progression.

People need to learn they are responsible for their health, not SE. If you feel like something is promoting behavior that is unhealthy for you, then don't do it.

Oh I agree 100%. I seem to remember quite some time ago, there was a bit of a drought between patches (maybe back during ARR?) and people were complaining about it, and Yoshi-P himself was like "guys, take a break and go play other games".. like they had to be told that it's okay to put down the controller/keyboard and go outside.

Well first time this was done bots dominated top spot for the gathering. Not sure this time but I know some actual players who took top spots in crafting. Heck even I worked my butt off amd had I kept going would have been top 12
