Bot, bot, bot

I kinda like the ones that sell shards.

They make 'em real cheap, ya know? Otherwise, crafting would be completely shitty.

well, you can say there is no bot in FFXI, WoW, Ragnarok Online, Rift, etc.....
Also, you can say there is no gilseller/RMT in those games also. ( well, first day of playing those game, you'll get some /tell to selling money, at least not much RMT in FFXIV that try to tell/shout everyday as other game. )

Bot is a challenge that game maker must face, and they have to find some way that limitation on bot or make system un-botable. ( gathering fatigue is one of the bot prevention method )

This is my guess why SE just do nothing with bot

Yoshi-P : Dear President Wada, we have a list of bot report user as in attach file. I need your direction what do deal with them.
Wada : ( not even open attach file ) Yoshida-san, how many users in this file that look like bot?
Yoshi-P : Around 50% of all population, sir
Wada : 50% omg! Well... we can't risk to lose any more playerbase, let them bot while they can until we start to charge the money from them for 6 months first.
Yoshi-P : Sir.... but game economy might rui....
Wada : STFU! IF MY FREE-FOR-1-YEAR DECISION IS LEAD TO FEWER PLAYERBASE, I WILL BE FIRED BY SQUARE-ENIX BOARD! So stop complaining and just ignore those rants in forum and continue fixing this damn game! No more talking about bot again!
Yoshi-P : Sir... yes!sir!

like I said, there are bots and RMT in every game. Also, keep in mind that not all bots are RMT.

Of course not. They just become filthy rich with no effort.

lol not all botters become filthy rich either. Generalizations are never a good thing...

Not necessarily rich, but using a bot gives them a considerable (and, in my opinion: undeserved) advantage over all other players. Which I don't consider desirable. Would you want to join a game where the economy or especially valuable loot is controlled by third party programs?

I, for my part, would prefer an environment where everybody at least gets a fair shot. After all, this is a fantasy world. ;)

You do get a fair shot. Everyone has access to bots =) As far as your question, every MMO that I've ever played has had bots and RMTs running the game...so it would be nothing new to me.

I hate that conclusion, but at the moment it seems like it is the only sensible one.
Oh well. Perhaps I should give it a try with a friend's account who quit playing a few
weeks ago. :o

It makes me sad but oh well =(.

What you forget is that you bringing absolutely empyrical "support" of them being bots is by no way actual evidence.

"I believe it's a bot!" is not enough for a GM to ban someone, unfortunately.

Botting is bad, but it's laughable to think that a developer should ban on this kind of data.
