I'm tired of hearing about bots

rather than say "can't do anything about them," perhaps you meant "no one has yet thought up a legal and definitive way of enforcing them yet."

with that being said, does anyone have any creative ideas on how to address the issue at hand?

Anyone complaining about Bots/RMT in this game clearly never played Aion. There were obvious bots in pretty much every area and RMT were spam shouting in every major city. I know they eventually did something about it but was after I quit (8+ months after release). It would have been so easy to catch these bots/RMT that a GM could have caught them all by simply logging in and doing a tour of the map once.

how can you legitimately prove in the court of law that they were bots? excuses such as: "i let my children play and turn the chatlog off," are common. ideas?

what does this have to do with a court of law
SE can ban you purely on suspicion and you cant do a damn thing about it

Yeah I'm fairly certain they can ban you for pretty much anything, they may even state that they don't necessarily even need a reason. I haven't read through all of the ToS or EULA but it's pretty standard stuff I'm sure.

can they really? there's no legal repercussion a customer can decide on if wrongfully accused?

You agreed to it when you installed the game and/or created an account. Legally as long as it's covered in the ToS or EULA I'm pretty sure you can't do anything about it.

well then...perhaps server population is so low, SE can't afford to ban botters? (lol)

they are banning them
people just dont see it(cuz not everyone is getting caught as easily as some people would like)


and no, they cant legaly do anything back to SE for banning their account, we all agreed to it when we signed up for the game

pro-tip: most FFXI bots had hook files that were easily tracked...most FFXIV bots are either pixel bots (legally undetectable) or just packet readers without hook files (not legally trackable)

SE can't do anything. They can try, but there is nothing they can do. Go QQ some more, kiddies.
