and who says they did it all in one day?

~30 minutes of farming gave me ~150 crystal shards ~50 crystals. there are skills that increase your yield.

I too sometimes ignore tells from people I don't know. if someone accuses me of botting I tell him to bugger off and annoy someone else. Someone said "give me gil or I'll report you for botting" to which I replied "Reported for black mailing, have a nice day"
people nowadays

why does it seem to be such a pain in ffxi and ffxiv with bots and people accusing others of botting? It never was this nasty in other MMOs I played, and FFXIV really takes the cake when it comes to this behavior atm =.=
