Is anyone annoyed by the HUGE number of people using bots on this game?

[Abhorash]

Wonder what the dev team did during those 5-6 years of deving, why they didn't take what worked in ffxi is beyond me. Leveling a craft to 50 the way it was intended is crazy too, honestly theres no difference in botting or doing it yourself, its just a mindless grind.

You do realize that if we do get rid of the current botting, the system is still tedious and they will come right back... right?

Think a little bit before you post, and determine what makes more sense.

Please don't attack me. I'm not attacking you. I don't agree with you.

they will come back regardless

theres a reason that people are constantly banned for rmt and botting in every game on a regular basis

doesnt matter what game, it still happens

How about looking at how mainstream these tactics are in other games before running off at the mouth?

Hold on I'll help you. It's not mainstream or common at all because the average player doesn't have to.

i have never been in a game that does not have rampant hackers and botting over the internet. i do agree it is wrong and people doin it should be banned, but don't try to act like this is the only game in existance in which people bot.

Yes, and as i mentioned earlier, it always will! Now with that said, what exactly is your argument? You are saying that since bots will always come back, we should ban them or should we just let them have their way? Either way will lead to the same conclusion.

Now, if you made the crafting system less tedious, the less bots will be used because crafting will simply be a lot less work. SE needs to find a way to make it fun to craft and i do think Materia will play its part in doing that. Yoshida could be steps ahead of us but we will never know until we hear exactly what the plans are. Until then, people are still going to argue over their own contradictory arguement. If that makes sense.

Umm, you deliberately and indirectly referred to me as a troll, and i begged your reconsider. -_-

Anyways, the main goal here isnt exactly to get rid of all botters, but to find a way to diminish [SIZE="5"]the need or desire to bot.[/SIZE]

Which usually results in the decrease of botters. You guys are getting your way too, we aren't saying that getting rid of botters is a bad thing, we are just trying to get rid of the main reason to why people bot in the first place, t\with the understanding that yes, people will still bot, just that there will be less.

If you cant see this as [SIZE="5"]an answer to both prayers[/SIZE]. Then i recommend you take a moment for yourself, let off some steam \, then come back and try to understand the bigger picture here.

im extremely against them
if you read my other posts youd more then realize that, i want them all banned

what most of this thread has degenerated into though is people saying its ok to bot cuz thats the way it is with this game, which is total BS

[Kurokikaze]

We should start by banning you. Cause that is one too many high level crafting jobs. No way that was legitimate.

Do you see how that works?
