Botting his way to mining

[Slaxx]

1) Harvesting things you have a 100% rate on naked does not make you a bot.

2) Ignoring /tells from people on a witch hunt does not make you a bot.

3) The ability to concentrate on a mundane and highly repetitive task for hours on end does not make you a bot.

I am not in any way defending people who bot, but, as so often happens in these situations, the accusation of botting is being thrown around with no actual proof. I've more than once ignored /tells from random vigilantes who feel that they are the last line of defence between the player base and complete anarchy. I most definitely have the ability to concentrate on the same mundane and repetitive task for hours on end (yay for years of playing FFXI).

I don't bot and I certainly don't support it but I also don't support random fools pestering me to prove I'm not a bot. If someone wants to report me that's fine. I'll have a nice and brief conversation with a GM if they even feel like investigating yet another baseless claim against an honest player.

The GMs might have more time to take care of real bots if so many people didn't waste there time reporting non-verifiable claims of botting.

Pretty much and honestly if you're not botting then you're fine. Even looking at fishing which can be entirely done by controller vibration feedback. I usually like to put on a show or movie and just fish based on controller feedback. They will deal with botters all you can do is report them.
