This may or may not be a miscellaneous post.
If you come across a bot teleporting and spawn camping monsters, open a trade window on them and their character will halt everything and stand there.
I'm sure someone else discovered this before me.
Hope this helps anyone partying up for farming.

It's probably better to just report them so it doesn't look like you're interacting with them / buying gil / etc.

True
Even tho this is a measure to halt them long enough for monsters to respawn, in that light, it's a risky one. -

There is a new hack I saw on my server where they are mining underground, you can barely see their name and can't target them. No way I can report them if I can't see their name :(

Yeah they're starting to do that in all the worlds now. In all honesty I can't say I hate the botters, just hate that I don't have one. Gathering is a real pain :(

It might, just gotta track them down I guess.
Isn't there a way to manually target something or someone through text?
If you can select them but not see the name, try to send a tell but copy the name instead of messaging. -

Sry but i think SE gives a fuck about those hackers.....
I Reported a guy on Cerberus a few days ago and some other guys did it too (like 10 maybe). 5 days after i reported him i saw him again at the same spot, teleporting again from mob to mob..... Got very disappointed after i saw this.
Btw i tryed to trade with him, but he could still teleport away and farm. -
09-23-2013, 07:41 PMMezolitikI would imagine that the investigation is pretty time intensive, as SE can't risk banning innocent paying customers.Quote:

If most of them are still here after october it means that people have been buying gil and that means alot of banning could happen.Quote:

As for underground bots if you follow them through all spots of the area they usually can't hide in all of them. -
09-23-2013, 09:33 PMAnimationThe issue with RWT or RMT is that what could be RWT could just simply be a loan, I've seen people asking to loan 1m gil from there clan mates etc just to help them boost crafting enough to make some profit then they repay.Quote:
