Bot

[Eekiki]

so much jealousy in this thread. When I craft, I don't respond to people unless they are in my LS. Why? Because, chances are, I don't know you and I don't want you interrupting my grinding. Problem?

Do you respond to the GMs when you get reported for botting?

I like the(in the first screen shot) person in your LS saying they dont respond to their LS buddies while crafting because they have their kids crafting and they turn off all communications. Maybe I should do this i have 2 kids also!

theres a difference bwteen ignoring people and flat out telling people "my kids craft for me, i turn off their chat"
thats one of the most common bot excuses out there, and most people who use it get banned


someone who wasnt botting and was just not talking isnt afraid to tell people that they just didnt wanna talk to them, cuz thats not an excuse at least its just telling them how it is

beware that line of thought, everytime i bring it up people start yelling thats not how they check to see if your botting(of course its not the way they check, not the only way that is, but its a good indicator if they send you a message and you refuse to respond even though your active)

of course, IF I have tells enabled. I have 2 chat windows "All" chat which has everything and "Battle" chat which only contains LS and party chat. I've never been reported for botting in 14 though...strange...because I was reported at least twice a day in 11....

Not responding to a GM when they send you a message is the same as (although obviously not really the same as) not responding to a police officer when they ask you a question. It just opens the door to more problems no matter why you didn't respond.

you can tell he isnt a bot by this line of thinking
if he was botting he woulda said "i dont have to respond to a gm, they cant tell im botting by not responding to them anyway, and thats not how they check you"
and he woulda got all defensive over it for you even mentioning it

I sit pretty far away with my controller when crafting.. volume turned up so i can hear the sound effects of when a synth is done and ready to hit enter again while im watching tv.

Really I cant be bothered replying to everything ppl msg me about.. i gotta get up.. and get to the keyboard ><

Unless i see a wall of text which tells me its important or im needed i dont bother

And this is why we need a /tell chime like we had in XI. I do the same thing.

anyone who uses that "my kids craft for me" is a 99% chance that they are botting and trying to use the excuse

Why would you use Child abuse / Child labor as an excuse for the less serious offense of botting?
