Indeed, its more efficient to prevent them shouting the stuff, than it is to ban something they can replace within minutes.

This is false and misinformation. They ban all of them in waves. Just because there are not banned immediately doesn't mean they don't do it. Just because this forum is obsessed with the idea of FFXIV beings a shit game with shit support doesn't mean is true.
Just ignore them, bot messages aren't any less annoying than half the muck you read in shout chat anyway. To be fair I don't even mind the bots anymore and I'm kinda glad they are here. At least it keeps the prices of shards and crystals down. Saves me gil and I don't need to spend a bean.
Can we please get a Report RMT button for when we find bots outside the cities? Here at Seraph Ive encountered so many lala bots while I was questing that it's getting very irritating to see them leveling up while they're clipping underground.
Considering most of 2.0 was built as a bad WoW clone from the get-go, and many of FFXIV's systems continue to be badly copied or implemented from things WoW did first... yeah, may as well. (Honestly kind of shocked me how much stuff FFXIV just straight up tried to copy from WoW, now that I've seen and experienced the game for myself. And I mean shocked in the bad way.)
Also lmao @ people acting like the crappy glam dresser system is fine. You guys really will defend anything this game and Yoshida pops out of his rear end, no matter how smelly it is.
The only complaint you hear from people about the transmog system is the lack of dye channels. Otherwise, it's the single best dress-up system implemented in an MMO; just as ESO's housing is (with Wildstar's death) the king of all MMO housing at the moment.
If you don't care about others' opinions, you'd better stop posting on the public forums right now because that's all you're gonna get - others' opinions. I will never understand this mindset people like you have where you come to a public space, tell someone they're wrong because you have a different opinion than them, and then expect to not be spoken to in kind.
You might be right! I actually couldn't say, as I haven't tried GW2 personally. A friend said similarly, that they sort of think it's the best overall and improves on WoW's transmog system - but that it got held back because of something relating to the cash shop or... idk? Again, no experience with it and I don't know if I could dig through our DMs to find it lmao.
I just tried adding some older gear to a new glamour. I couldn't figure out how to do it, even with help from a couple web pages. Everything in WoW that's been bound to you is immediately available for transmog. The downside is that while the gear images are added to the library automatically and free, you have to pay significant gold (up to several hundred) every time you change your appearance. So, I kept at most 2-3 outfits, and rarely changed them. You also need a special NPC to change.
