Being Called A Botter

[Kagalli]

That happened to me when i was leveling my ROU/NIN when it came out, got to 50 in 2 days from fate grinding, people are just jealous, that's all

I plan on leveling DRK AND MCN in 2 days, not worried about AST until a later time.

I am planning to get all my jobs to 50 before heavensward so I should probably rename after that because half of the people here will call me bot.

Should send them a fake bot like /tell looool

If you find my story off I do apologize. You must be one of the people bothering me

Now reacting like this just makes you sound paranoid! I wonder what else people have said to you that you mistake as being harassment......

"Wow, you've been farming these fates for hours man!"

"SHUT UP! IM NOT BOTTING!!"

Who on earth finds it odd that MMO players pull absurdly long grinding sessions? Nearly all of us have done that at one time or other.

I think that's why some of us feel this story is a little off. :/


OP:
It is possible that mob mentality took over in Coerthas that day. People hate bots. HATE. If there was anything you were doing that really looked like a computer was running the character instead of a person, folks gonna be all up in your shit. (I don't mind FATE grinding. Did it quite a bit yesterday since I wasn't well enough to dungeon, but I party up with FC mates or join PFs for this. You get more exp since mobs killed by party members counts for you, why didn't you do this? Would've stopped the bot argument before it started... )

But to say you're just gonna let it go while yet continuing to post here.... =_=

Which is a crappy thing to do. It just really gets me down is all and I dunno if I should log for a while or just say screw them and keep playing.

Each one that messages you about being a bot, report them then put them on ignore. There can't be that many different people and eventually it will just blow over.

Don't let them bother you OP. It's not their job or place to confirm or investigate bot activity. That's a GM's/STF's job. This is exactly why its a reportable offense to harass a player, whether its spam opening trades, /tells, and especially public shaming in /sh.

Report them and im sure a GM will happily give them a scolding. I feel bad for the GM's i dont think they get paid extra to babysit the whiny players that are harassing you. Shame on them.


Players are merely allowed to submit reports if they have a suspicion, but thats it, they aren't professionals.
