I use the same logic to label myself as a vigilante when I murder people in the street in the dead of night ^.^

People need to stop kidding themselves that it's okay to bot because it's their choice. You agreed to SE's rules when you installed the game and/or created an account with them.

It's against the ToS. In general it is seen as negative (cheating) by most people in a game's community. Excessive botting can ruin a game, causing the legit playerbase to leave. Not to mention the fact that those who bot to 50 have absolutely no idea how to play their class generally. All of it adds up to poor players, a poor economy and poor state of the game.

When you decide to take Decicions?
before someone write it,I pointed out gm, but nothing happened!
banned people using bots so at least remove a lot of money from game!
I know that I've wasted so much time writing only...

Let's set things straight. SE will not do anything regarding bots and cheaters. Period. That is until the PS3 release is out and FFXIV has a large enough and stable population. Then and only then will SE do something about it.

You think they would ban a big chunk of the tiny population we got now?

If you do it too soon, then they don't miss out on much, and will just buy another copy of the game and resume botting, and be capped again before the next patch.

This would be the most epic lulz of all time. Along with a permaban, send these clowns an email thanking them for all the hard work they did beta testing the game for a year plus. :D

Except they do actually take action against botters currently, usually the more obvious ones. I've really never seen the same botting group or botter more than once or twice. Generally they disappear pretty quickly for one reason or another.

Sadly it's too late for SE to take action now. Everyone who botted heavily has all classes at 50 now or is close. The only people banned now would be those who bot but not very often.

Practically defending them. It hurts anyone who is a crafter or anybody trying to make sells. Botting, I'm pretty damn sure, can resort to a lot of RMT cases.

Plus you are resorting to thirdparty software to rank you up. It's cheating and that is BS

This has already been clarified. It means "the fact that you think it's not hurting anyone is BS". You're just mindlessly trolling at this point.

EDIT: HE'S AGAINST BOTS GOD DAMN IT, STOP ATTACKING HIM

I don't have time to read through the whole thread so please stop with this "troll this, troll that" banter. Really.
