Botting

[Niqote]

We have a winner. It's basically free money for SE without the need to implement a cash shop, and you skip past the bad press and negative consequences. Why wouldn't they do this?

What?? Hahahahaaaahahah

Why would SE want to ruin their own game's economy and ban their own paying customers?

Besides... If SE wanted to sell their own gil then they would not use 'bots' they can just assign max gil to any account they want.


Oh I do remember a thing they did in XI you know, they said they would purposely let a RMT go on for a little while, but when that account they are watching suddenly has lots of gil transferred to it or... reaches a particular achievement that needed a lot of time THEN they would include it in the ban sweep, because the loss of so much is far more devastating then say, banning 10 new baby bots. It was a long time ago and I forget the exact details... but its worth a thought.

Course, in the end if people stopped buying things from the RMTs then they would of course go out of business. it really does seem that NA servers have a plague of bots - perhaps the NA servers offer more business?
