Why are people rewarded for cheating?

[myahele]

I heard that multiboxing is not against TOS, so I guess cheaters are truly rewarded in this game.

In the end its a game you're play with alot of people. In this case, they're doing thing to have an advantage against other players. It's just like when someone uses a program out of their scrable letters to make words

You are correct. multiboxing is not against the ToS. its also NOT cheating. if I want to use multiple accounts, while paying multiple subscriptions, and work harder to keep track of all the accounts at once, thats playing the game with a higher skill requirement, and SHOULD have rewards as such. if you dont have the mental or physical ability to multibox, that doesn't mean that smart people who do are suddenly cheating.

I will freely admit that I have multiboxed before. Running an arcanist and a gladiator at the same time through a dungeon is hard as hell, and I had to use 100% of my focus to do so. it makes the game roughly 1.75 times more difficult. if they were both the same class, it would only likely be 1.5 times as difficult, but rotations dont always go the same. different things happen, and one miss and suddenly each class is at a different point in their rotation and you have to keep track of two rotations, then 3 rotations, then 4 rotations, all at the same time. the logistics of doing so are brutal, and I personally had to take a 30 min break after halatali, due to a headache from focusing too hard.

if thats cheating, then we must be cheating wrong, because thats not making anything easier, just faster.

OP I honestly think SE could give a FUCK about bots. They are every where, I have reported the same bot 20+ times since summer and he is still there. And any zone that I go to that has money to be made is full of bots as well. And now I just ran into my first bot tank in duty finder. I should just say fuck it and buy my own harvest bot and run it while I sleep because obviously SE doesn't give a fuck!

1. Those who have figured out how the XIV economy works, have made their millions, and are puzzled that others complain that the RMT bots are ruining the economy when the way to make REAL gil in this game involves no botting whatsoever.

This! And part of how the economy works is that you don't need all this Wal Street player bullshit to make Gil. I do not spend my Gil frivolously, I am not some super master craftsman (yes, that's the proper word. "crafter" is not a proper word), and I still manage to make a shit-ton of money without botting or RMT. I just SAVE all my Gil then when something REALLY needed comes along that I truely find rewarding to have, such as a house, I buy it. It's so damned easy to make Gil in this game that it's nuts. Just by playing the game normally, without even crafting, Gil just POURS into your pockets at an insane rate. Hell just the loot that I get from dungeons and those Allagan pieces you sell rake in at LEASt 5-10k for a few hours of game play. And you never have to deal with some silly Wal Street fantasy world to do it.

*Someone with 1 or 2 classes leveled/somewhat leveled and 0 gathering/crafting classes and millions to spend HAS, however, probably bought gil from RMT.

Completely incorrect. It is SO bloody easy to make Gil in this game just from . . . playing the game. And you DO NOT NEED THE MARKET BOARD TO MAKE MILLIONS, people! Wow. This is where you are all fucking up. Dealing with players. Just deal with the vendors. Their prices are steady, they are always friendly, and they give great customer service. Whatever you loot, whatever materia you get, just plop it to a vendor and they always smile and say thank you. The crap that my retainers have been bringing back to me as a result of their exploration missions (gearing them up helps a LOT with this) is worth TONS on the market, and even though the vendors pay me a fraction of what players do, I'd still rather the vendors get it because they can use it for far more constructive means than the players can.

I could go on but really all you needed to do was google the word.

As for your post, I literally stopped reading your rant right there. If you're going to go on a rant and call people out, at least look in a dictionary before incorrectly criticizing them for using a widely accepted, proper word correctly.
