Sometimes I think these guys are bots too. One day I shouted there was an S rank mark up in NT and nobody said anything in shout. In fact the Fate train ran right past the S mark. I really wonder if sometimes these people are botting.

08-24-2015, 02:21 AMSeunkiiMaybe they just didn't want to do it? Lots of times when I've farmed FATES for my 3 jobs there, my group never cared about S ranks either since we're there for the XP, and those don't give any worthwhile. Engaging in S ranks might mean missing out on more XP rewarding FATES.Quote:

Yes, many of these are bots and yes it is a reportable offence. Confirmed offenders may be given a ban along with other remedies.

North Thanalan is notorious for its bot train. I've been reporting the same people daily for a while when Heavensward launched, but I gave up.

08-24-2015, 07:58 AMStouterTaruYou pretty much describe me when I went through the ugly FATE grind back in ARR. Sit in town building up rested exp bonus, run to FATE when it pops, kill it, run back to town or to next FATE.Quote:

Do it. Report them. Because I have noticed that they are hiding inside the Garlond Ironworks building in Revenant's Toll. If you see them in there, report them.

I have tells completely filtered out, and occasionally use the North Thanalan fate train to fate grind (I usually switch between fates and dungeons). I pretty much ignore hunts when I'm doing this.
Might as well report people for being silent during dungeon runs after saying "hi". -

OP, what do you expect from people, leveling in this game is extremely tedious and downright boring most of the time.
-
08-24-2015, 02:13 PMHaywardThat's a pathetic justification for illegal botting if I ever saw one. You want to get to level 60? Put in the work legit or do something else with your time.Quote:

And I do exactly the same thing - run to town for rested, run out to each fate. I don't bother with hunts, and don't stop to call marks unless I'm feeling particularly charitable. And the amount of times I've been accused of botting... 'Not coming to Dzu? But you have a WHM, and we need a healer! omg, must be a bot!' Like Dzu is even efficient xp for time...
At first I used to waste my time responding to the tells. Now I simply cba with it. I'm trying to quickly level classes I don't have remaining quests for - that doesn't involve stopping to explain myself to every idiot who doesn't have the ability/presence of mind to try the same thing. And as you say, 'omg, you must be a bot if you won't talk to me, me, me, me!' *yawn* -

An S Rank isn´t worthwhile, like I personally don´t care much about them anymore.
Waiting for pull, because they wait for half the server to finish their crafts, feeding their chocos, doing their nails - is just 4-5 FATE´s i probably miss.
if you grind, grind properly ;-)
tidious, repeating stuff lures bot´s for sure, but also makes PC´s look like bots,... and just by not responding to you, doesn´t make me a bot automatically. -

I went into a DF dungeon once, no-one said hello. Bots. Reported.

The bots get confused with FATE chains. That's a huge telling sign right there. They simply keep running back and forth.
LOL this has been bothering me for a while but I don't suspect bots. Now I did run into a tank bot in WP normal..Quote:
