I am starting to see groups of black mages that pop up in front of stairs final fight in the main scenario. I think they will be ahead of the normal population and will be well into Heavensward. Worry not all of you nostalgia friends for the gil spam will continue into 3.0.
Seems bots are finishing main scenario now?

"World First - Level 60": a bot.

Well the main story is pretty good. No wonder even Bots/RMT want to experience it.

Well materia prices will probably fall off after the expansion, (which is one of there main sources of income, other then shards/crystals) so they need to be on top of the new items to sell off at ridiculousy high prices off the bat. so.. nothing out of the ordinary, and like most bots, they will be able to do their damage without being caught for a long time. (if at all)

That other thread seemed 100% positive that the MSQ requirement would keep bots out.

That other thread was full of fools then. This game makes you do quests to have retainers and be able to unlock jobs, what in the world would stop a bot network from being able to finish quests?
-
06-15-2015, 01:59 AMMilmoko_GemokoOne would hope The Steps of Faith (fight) would stop the bots from progressing :PQuote:

seems like bots might be getting clear for players, i cant imigin the benefit to get bots to 50 all the quests just to get banned and do it over again.. if its true that sucks :(
-
06-15-2015, 02:04 AMGamer3427Anyone who thinks that that would keep gil spamming bots out entirely doesn't know much about how determined they are. That being said, at least it'll slow them down a little within the new areas, and force the ones that just use level 1 /shout and /say spamming to stick to the current areas. Plus any bans they recieve will have more of an effect since it'll force them to redo the MSQ and get to 50 to recover from it, compared to just making a new character.......Quote:

06-15-2015, 02:49 AMCanadaneWhile this is great, it also says to me, they'll get reported less often. They can amass some kind of bot hell army and invade Ishgard all at once, ruining my Christmas, beach vacation, or whatever I'm imagining myself doing while I idle in town.Quote:

06-15-2015, 03:34 AMAirgetRight now there is nothing causing the pitfall of a ban to effect RMT. RMT are currently playing under the guise of ARR and nothing else. Once RMT are forced to have ARR+HW and complete MS to get into 3.0 area they will be hit hard, but those effects can't be seen until the first rotation of bannings occur once 3.0 goes live.Quote:

You know what would be funny? If the anti-RMT squad would closely monitor JUST the SoF fight, and ban the bots and other RMT trash that pass through it. Use it as a bottleneck, let the RMT get all the way to the one easily analyzable fight, and then shut their accounts off. Of course, we're more likely to see gobbues fly than for the RMT squad to do anything useful.

Have expansions being launched stopped Bots and RMT in other MMO's...???
The other poster has a great suggestion and I really hope they are smart and do monitor that fight and ban those sorry ass botters. -

Like the darkweb may not be sentient, but it does a good job of making it dramatically inefficient for humans to combat it. -

OFC they are. They will be moving to Ishgard, it will be the best place to send out friend requests, shouts and tells now. :D
-
06-15-2015, 08:07 PMYGSLlewOne would think that this is a proven fact, however, seems that even those bots are playing better than whining people, which made a nerf necessaryQuote:

Well, people need to stop complaining when a MSQ fight actually requires you to do mechanics, they make a bot's life much harder as well. After that, SE needs to enable their anticheat outside of coil's last turns...

06-15-2015, 09:10 PMStrejdaTomThanks for saying this. Thanks so much!Quote:
