You're running around trying to make an honest living in-game, doing everything manually and you run into this at several different node

Upon further research I was told that there are new bots out that render the player invisible to avoid detection, and instead of running from node to node they teleport from node to node so you don't see a flying name run across your screen.
Then you wonder why you're constantly getting undercut on market, why you aren't making any money. That there, is why.

they aren't invisible they teleport under the ground that's why you cant see their names sometimes like the first pic you have :)

Players are doing this as well as the Gold Farmers. Feel free and check all their 'I'm innocent' posts here on the forums where they had all their gil taken away.
Yes SE has a problem on their hands. -
10-11-2013, 03:48 AMAW0SSee that's what i thought at first, i thought the person had glitched into the ground. Someone on reddit said they were invisible.Quote:

And on the non legacy servers...it hasn't been out in a while...just 4 and a half weeks -

And regardless, this thread is regarding the bot problem, not how fast someone can lvl what.

10-11-2013, 04:01 AMAW0Snote also he has only one battle class, which means he had more than enough leve's accumulated to do tradecrafting. Just because you're not very efficiant doesn't mean other's aren't.Quote:

he strikes again, i looked him up, he's got a lvl 10 archer and a lvl 33 Botanist. -
10-11-2013, 04:10 AMAW0SCompletely agree. If you feel the need to say that, you are clearly aware that what you're about to say is offensive.Quote:

I wont argue with you all over the phrase. I still stand by my comments. If it's normal for someone to hit lvl 50 on everything but 3 classes in 4 weeks then the game has an issue (but I don't believe that it's that easy to hit 50 anyways).
Also, I had no intentions on hijacking your thread...you're the one who kept on bringing it up. Besides, we all know about the teleport gather bots...there's been threads on it for four weeks now :)
Also, it's generally not a good idea to put pics of people doing this on the forum with their names visible. It's against the forum rules (name and shame). What you should do is send a pm to the devs here with the pics (although they wont look at it) and file a report online (they wont really look at that either) -
10-11-2013, 04:18 AMAW0SI feel comfortable using the name because this is CLEARLY a bot account, not their real account. Archer lvl 10 and Botanist lvl 33, the character is even still in it's race gear. I feel no shame in putting up the name of a bot account, if anything it should be dealt with, i'm not trying to shame a legit player.Quote:

Personally i feel we need more name and shame, so the developers can get a better handle on what its like to have 20 + botters per area to compete against.

I wish the market board showed the characters name rather than the retainer so we could at least avoid buying from suspected bots.
I often avoid sellers that have 5+ stacks for sell on the boards. Even though this means nothing, I still feel more confident I am buying from an honest player when I purchase a stack of 43 rather than a guy selling 10 stacks of 99.
Bots suck. -
10-11-2013, 04:42 AMAW0S100% agree.Quote:
