RMT bots and Farmer Bots

[Gralna]

If this is true why after 1 year of the exact same bot's farming basically the same locations day after day they are still farming, after a year of these supposed "Investigations" you would think they could track who it was.. or else they are the worst investigators on 2 legs

It's not a visible issue on Balmung, to my knowledge, and it's one of the largest servers. The only issue is chat spam, really, and usually there are only 1-2 bots spamming shouts, and once those get blacklisted, then it's usually pretty quiet. But then again, that's just my perception. Someone else may have severe problems instead. Or it could be that my server is nigh impossible to create new characters for. I dunno.

Go pay a visit to north shroud, there's a set of bots always camped by where the tree fate pops.

Unresponsive does not mean its a bot. I very rarely respond to anyone. Why? Because I could give two cruds about what they want. Everyone I talk to is in my fc / ls or my ts server. If someone attacks my mob once again I am not going to say anything I will just out pull them.

Typically if you say something to someone pulling mobs you are farming they get butthurt and want to argue. So its not worth my time to argue since it is a game and I am not on it to fight w/ people.

Choco farming / lvlin is perfectly fine we do groups of 4 w/ four choco to spirit bind and we sometimes do two groups this way in Urths Gift.

So far the only valid thing I see is them sending tells / inviting people and possibly crashing the market... and even crashing the market is questionable because I have seen a lot of normal players undercut on purpose to crash a specific market.

I just know these are the "official" reasons I've seen/heard. I know on Siren it's honestly not that big of an issue, but I'm fairly certain Siren is smaller too, so I'm not sure just how bad it really is on the large servers.

The problem is that some people get so infatuated w/ them that they can't stop trying to find them. This is also when some innocent people get blamed but, there are some very obvious botting like someone in the post said something about teleporting.

I use to give a crud about it but, since I stopped giving a crud... my game time is far more enjoyable. I use to let this stuff consume me until finally I said screw it I'm not going to let this screw w/ my game time.

check the MB for elemental shards, grade 4 materias and demimaterias. Here you have usually where RMT hurt the game the most. You can check, there are 8 bots in Balmung who farm materias 100% of the time since the beta, mostly in south shroud or north shroud. When I was in balmung, I was often forming PK parties to get rid of them for the day and ruin their business

Even though I do not disagree w/ your tactic. You do realize that you can get banned for this post correct?
