Should botting be somehow legalized?

[HaelseMikiro]

Gil sellers don't buy new accounts and build up characters. The hack/steal accounts, which allows them to gut said account for all of its money and start using a character that's already prepped for botting, if they choose to do so. It's way more cost and time efficient since it basically doesn't cost them anything.

I'm pretty sure an almost negligible amount of bots are actually stolen/hacked accounts. If any meaningful % of the 1000+ RMT bans per week were legit players, we'd be seeing new forum posts about it daily. People don't typically get hacked and not come here to let the world know.

And I do miss the days of elemental shards being 7 gil each, but alas, most of the bots make their money grinding dungeons now. Maybe it's time to SE for revoke the
gil drops they added to dungeon monsters to "compensate us for repair bills". Pretty sure 99% of dungeon runs these days (not trials/raids) have little/no issues finding success.

Aw. but grinding classes with Dungeons are the only way I can make a profit now that I've done most of the quests at this that point (Well that and selling shards, but the method I use for obtaining is a little bit slow and they seem to be cheapening)
