Please don't call me a bot!

There was a furore in Uldah when someone discovered they could craft subligar "SE WHY HAVE YOU GIVEN US SUBLIGAR AGAIN AAAAH"

Later, still leveling ALC, blue landtrap leaves farming, back on SMN and blowing up the Kedtraps (whilst as a sideline helping miners doing leves round there, it's infested with agro traps)... within an hour I was accused of being a bot. Just because I was better at farming with Ruin 2 and Garuda than he was on a level 25 meleer (sigh).

Blimey stop assuming because someone is *farming* they're a bot!

That's what I'd say too...IF I WERE A BOT.

Win-win.

I don't see why more ppl don't do this. If I see someone else attacking a mob I claimed I'm usually guessing they need it for a quest so I go and claim my next target and let them kill. I'm there for the material drops not the I got credit for the mob kill.

and here you are justifying it with a thread

If you think you're going to save Eorzea by grabbing your pitch fork and initiating a witch hunt you're completely wasting your time. Unless botting is stopped on a mass SE level, it won't stop. The only time I saw SE make a dent in XI is when they launched the STF(U) team, they literally destroyed a generation of RMT.

@ Mirabelle, thanks for being paranoid. Like bots would post on the worldwide SE website.

lol.

On a completely unrelated note, ever since I submitted my first reply my internet/PC has been super slow. Could be the storm, or could be his bot-ways corrupting my interwebs :O DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNNNNN (complete sarcasm btw, I don't REALLY think it's the storms doing it) :P

Didn't SE already launch STF in FFXIV already?
