The fact that they have such an explicit statement against cheating in their ToS then do so little to actually combat it bugs me.
Their seeming attitude of "innocent until proven 100% guilty" really isn't working and should consider that if people are constantly piling them with reports that maybe there are a lot more cheaters in the game then their automated detection methods are suggesting.
Request: Anti-cheat system for rampant botting.

I'll let you figure out which one happened. -

I honestly don't even need to try to find forums/discords/etc related to bots and simply doing FFXIV searches pertaining to content that is frequently targeted by said programs is often enough to bring them up.
Which kind of says a lot about how prevalent the problem is...
