Apkallu Egg's - Bots there 24/7 - Reported over 3 months - NO ACTION

Hello all,

The main point of this thread is try and get attention to the Apkallu Egg bot's in Costa del Sol (x 28, y 35). Now according to the Form's rules and policies I may not post any information about the specific's of the character. So I will try and be as ambiguous as possible. This should provide zero reasons for a Forum moderator to remove this post, as I am not breaking any rules "If I am, I am sure to be possibly banned".

The one character I have seen and I am hinting at, is always playing a Level 50 BARD. You can go to these cordinates, (x 28, y 35) in Costa del Sol and see this character standing there now.

If Square-Enix need's help in analyzing the information which I would hope be logged in the Database, they can always hire me on as I am a Systems Engineer. I will gladly do the work they are obviously not. :mad:

Another note to Square-Enix. If you are going to enforce a character count on forum posts, you should include a character count tracker. There is absolutely no reason not to, as it would be a client-side JavaScript handler and not put any additional load on the Server; considering the Server is processing and validation the character count already and relaying this info on POST BACK. Poor design or just lazy on Square's part.

Square Enix bans in waves so they have time to analyze and investigate the botters before they can ban them.

I'm sure you'll see that bard removed from the game soon, please look forward to it!

:^)

We can only hope!

They need to put the eggs on vendors.

No, they don't. If they did that, the bots would just move on to something else. Moving the eggs only solves 1 bot problem. Removing the bots solves the bigger issue (in theory).

I feel your pain. Since before Christmas, I've been reporting the same 2 bots farming snurble tufts on my server. It's getting to the point that what with the botting, the gil selling, the psychotic party requirements, the housing prices and the lazy game design choices, I'm having a harder and harder time actually wanting to log in.

You have a higher chance to be banned/suspended before that actually happening.

And I would be ok with that, because I know I at least tried to get some attention to this lingering problem. I have talked to so many people afraid to post on the forums because of it.

It will always be a lingering issue. The problem is ppl got so bored and disheartened and moved on to other issues.

And yes, the slient treatment we getting. And the "..you are all a vocal minority" crowds tips things further down.
