Botters Gonna Get Reported

Where can I submit a screenshot of botters? For now I'll just post it here.

The one name that is hard to see is, Chris Poindexter. Take this filth off Siren server.








[EDIT]
Link to my video of these bots. Tell me what YOU think.

Incorrect, I saw them consistently performing the SAME thing over and over again. Don't be so pompous, rude, and ignorant.

And your screen proves what?
Nothing at all!
Only one that is ignorant and rude is yourself.

Your screenshots prove absolutely nothing, though...

this also decribes playing archer in a nutshell... can you without a shadow of a doubt prove they're botting and not just geared up absolutely the same and playing like a well co-ordinated archer regiment?

nah just trolling.

But honestly, this doesn't truly affect you.

Hard NOT to be ignorant if you don't provide full details on your experience.

I cannot believe that people are so freaking naive. Have you ever done any Game Mastering on any kind of game? This is the EXACT problem we had so many times on RO servers and no, I can't take screenshots of them doing the same thing over and over again, because then it'd be a freaking video. It's rude to assume that I'm just posting a random image of random players and just slandering them without any justification.

try a video next time.

all a SS does is show some people standing around.

im not saying I don't believe you but SE isn't going to ban people unless its irrefutable proof they are cheating or botting

I seen the exact same thing in the same area on Sargatanas. Everyone has weathered bows and the same junk on waiting for something to get into aggro range.

Yup this is exactly what I'm seeing!

Except it's not rude when you're showing absolutely nothing.

You've made a thread saying "Look! I found people breaking the rules!" and posted a picture that shows nothing of the sort.

If you truly want to provide evidence, download Fraps, render the footage using Windows Movie Maker and upload it to youtube.

The burden of proof is on you when you're the one to make accusations and unfortunately, you haven't provided anything resembling evidence.

Those are gold farmers too... there were lots of these back in FFXIV 1.0

Give him the benefit of the doubt. Am sure there's some reason why he put this topic up in the first place anyway...why not try to help him answer his question first instead of bashing saying that it's proving nothing...that way, this can be investigated ("hopefully") and find whether these are real or bogus. In the end, it would benefit us players anyway.

OP, try using the support center: http://support.na.square-enix.com/co...382&la=1&fty=2
Otherwise, there's also an ingame support desk which you can use to report...I don't think you can post screenies though, so put as much as detail into it

No, it's fine. I downloaded fraps and I'm uploading a video. Apparently, an upstanding, rule-abiding, player pointing out botters that are CLEARLY botters, is unheard of. I just want to slander people and make the game a horrible place to enjoy spending time. Obviously sarcasm, for those who didn't catch on.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH too all the morons saying they arent botters LMAOOOOO

Re-read my post again. I'm not insulting you, or saying they're not botters. What I am pointing out is that your evidence doesn't show anything. It's fundamentally useless. Again, that's not to insult you. That's not saying you're not being a fine upstanding member of the community. It's just pointing out that it doesn't do what you're aiming for it to do.

I am pleased to see you have decided to go ahead with the video route. I think you will find that the video evidence will be much harder for the Staff to ignore and will result in some permanent suspensions from the game.

On a personal note, I suggest you remove your emotions from the equation. They are obviously getting the better of you, and being passive aggressive and taking offense will not help you on these forums, I fear. From my reading, there are many trolls who simply enjoy pushing peoples buttons.

Eh, did you read the thread? No one said that they weren't botters...

People only said that the screenshots prove nothing. Yes, they look like botters, but without video evidence of them botting, there's really nothing Square could ever do.

Looks like the op wants to be centre of attention. Good luck with your flawed report. I'm sure SE will discard it. Play the game and stop worrying about others

Botter Detected.

I think SE should take botting reports very seriously right now, what with all the congestion. It is highly selfish and unfair of people to fill up the servers with bots when others can't even log in because servers are full.

I get that different people have different views as what contributes as proof, but at the end of the day, every concern at this point SHOULD be followed up, because it's unacceptable that people can't play due to server spaces being taken up by players performing immoral activities.

No wonder legitimate customers are constantly getting Error 1017 and not even allowed to queue for the F@#$ing server.

Same on Cactuar. 8 archers, all still in their starter gear auto-targeting and attacking the same mobs in a swarm. They're just standing outside of Gridania, all picking the exact same target to hit with the exact same skill at the exact same time. Filed a report about it earlier.

Hopefully they do something about it.

I've been seeing gold sellers spamming their wares in just about every major city on ragnarok. So bots are most likely providing their gold.

I swear this ticks me off. Not only do they bog down the servers even more but in a matter of months they will have destroyed the in-game economy. I've seen it happen in FFXI and RO. The community needs to work together to capture these characters on video to report them and have them stamped out. Parasites.

Actually there is a website I wanted to report to SE that I came across when reading one of the prominent FFXIV forum fansites. It was a website dedicated to the creation of a multipurpose bot for FFXIV: ARR. Would love for SE to stamp down on them.

EDIT: Reported it to SE Support.

Did you guys check out my pics? They're not just botters, but they are dedicated gold/gil farmers from China or something playing on multiple computers or stations. They're probably using a bot too, I've seen this happened in 1.0, now there's going to be even more in ARR :(

Even if the bot program is used for leveling up a character with no intent at farming or monetary gain, it still shouldn't be allowed. The whole point of an MMO is to put time and effort into your character to get to the state you want it to be in. Not hire cheap computer labor to do it for you and cheapen the efforts of people who actually enjoy playing the right way.

In the old FFXI days I saw people actually selling max level characters with full relic gear to any scragg who would buy them. It really is a slap in the face to the creators of the game and us players alike when you have people like that running around.

How do you report? Received /tells from someone when a site for buying gill.

They ARE from China! Back in 1.0 when we had the high level Elementals out near Aetheryte camps, there was a shittle-ton of bots near the one Node south of Bloodshore. They were typing out English spellings of Chinese words. Another player (Lv50 DRG) sat there with me. We harassed the botters by yelling out in chat at them, making fun of them. We actually got one of the Chinese botters to speak English to us.

The guy and I (my one friend from my LS came along and all 3 of us stood there, even sat our characters down), watched as the Elementals all aggroed the botters and killed them. Then they kept coming back again, over and over. We sat there for 2 hours watching this go on, lol.

Im sorry to say it but another reason why pc players are always the ones to ruin/cheat on mmo's, no home training.

This doesn't effect any one? Really?

Currently, the servers are hard-capped at how many people can login and play, to prevent them from crashing and causing other problems. If that cap number is set to, say, 3000, that means only 3000 people can be logged in to a server at one time and play.

Once that cap is met, nobody else can login to that server and play until one of those 3000 people logs off. For those who ride the shortbus, there are thousands upon thousands of people who sit here for several hours getting the "1017 error", telling us the server is full and to try to login later. People who use bots contribute to that 3000 login cap. So, 1 person running 10 bots, is effectively killing the ability for 10 other people to legitimately login and play. That's 10 furious, frustrated, paying customers who cannot login and play a game they've really been looking forward to, because of botters.

I have to report more people! Uploading the video right now, but the character name is Denato Zalas on Siren server. Saw them teleporting between nodes and mining, sometimes even stuck within the floor. Link soon.
