RMT bots and Farmer Bots

I'm not a fan of open world pvp, but if there was ever a reason.....boy oh boy would I have fun for a day with that

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

Heh how so ? I did not name shame them, and when I was getting rid of them, there were no problem with ToS as far as I know. A human player would have reacted at least by raising and coming back instead of staying dead in place for more than a week. Can't really say messing with a bot's programm is harassing another player, right ?

Anyway, I stopped that long ago, if I am to take a warning for it, then so be it, I have no regret about keeping the materia market safe from RMTs for a few days

The first rule of MPK is you don't talk about MPK.

MPK? o.o Whats that?

The second rule of MPK is you don't... oh, fukkit... it's when you use mob aggro to take out another player.

If GM's don't care about banning them why would they care about people letting bots die? They are just ignoring the bot issue as a whole, so grief them all you want.

I would love that this was true... but I readily believe GMs would giveth the proverbial smack-downeth on anyone found MPKing another player, even if it's a bot. :/

They don't even act unless there's a report involved, and bots (or bot owners) wont send reports for sure.

Actually, this could happen two ways... :/
1. Some innocent sees what you did thar and reports your ass.
2. We go full-on tin-foil hat and say that SE is behind-the-scenes condoning botting for the $$$ and subscriber numbers (marketers and shareholders find these numbers yummy); so, if the bots DO report this and SE does that whole "oh it's a real player!! /disingenuous", then you'd have the GM po-lice swinging the ban hammer in your direction.

As a boxer, a lot of people mistake me as bot and after a polite warning i report every time if they try again to MPK.
Better be 100% sure it's a bot before doing MPK.
