Being Called A Botter

[Sadana]

I ran through it yes and died. I know I didn't touch it but it did kill me.

LAWLS... THAT'S why. omg... hahaha. You don't fuck with server hunts!! rofl! No wonder they got their torches & pitchforks. And if you replied with things like "what the fuck is wrong with you??!" That would only make them more angry. XDDDD

btw, B ranks are the only hunts that don't aggro on sight. Their symbol is blue. The A and S ranks have red/orange symbols and will squish you like grape if you come within range.

I only said "wtf" to the guys who kept opening the trade menu with me while I was trying to get the fates down. I mean, can someone fill me in what happens when the A rank is aggroed and the person who started it (apparently the only person there) dies, does it reset? Does it disappear? Why are the hunts so important to go out of someones way to make my game time hell.

Yeah, it resets. But hunt aggro is a thing (and I don't mean the mobs' aggro >.>; ), you can find many many threads here on the OF about the drama associated with hunts. That you auto run from FATE to FATE can also come across as "bottish". I would say part of the reason those of us who were there are saying something is fishy with your story is cause we have spent nearly 2 years staring at bots and wishing them gone. We know what they look like and how the move in the game. To so aggressively target an actual player for being a bot... well, that is just REALLY strange... unless something about what you were doing was very akin to what bots do. (Yes, FATE bots were a thing.) *shakes head* I've been trying to visualize this myself... only thing I can come up with is that you were auto running into rocks and walls and shit (bot like behavior) or staying in one place and throwing shuriken at sheep over and over. Which you say you weren't doing. So, it just seems really weird that others who saw you would grief you so much.

At that point, my logic says that you may have pulled hate from folks out hunting for A/S ranks and that, if you replied in a "I've been doing FATEs here for 14 hours straight and I hate your face" tone, they may have reason to be angry at you. :/

And lastly... Coerthas? seriously? Land sakes, you should've moved on to North Than by level 45. I mean... Dark Devices, yo. :/ Folks on my server eat that shit up for those last few levels. Even during the offest of off peak hours, you can get a party for North Than FATEs.

I do know how botters run and get stuck etc. I've seen many of them farming shards since launch, and coming from another server they are in the same place with same jibberish face slammed on the keyboard names but never seen fate botters. I auto run on my mount. I'm not made of money so I only use the teleport when the Return is off cool down or Svarra popped. Again, I guess I was rude during the whole "opening trade menu with me mid fate" thing but come on, it was one after the other I couldn't even avoid the AoE causing me deaths and unwanted repair costs. I don't see how me autorunning fate to fate matters though... who holds down the "W" key or up on the joystick all the time.. I use autorun in dungeons because I'm that lazy.

Besides, had I been doing something wrong, again, I would have abandoned this thread in an instant doubt sparked (which I knew there would be) and I wouldn't be replying to everyone still. It's just very upsetting to me and I suppose I need to grow a pair and just man up with my emotions. It's a game I know but sometimes things just ugh.

As for going to CPP to level, when I go over there my gear was in no way strong enough to keep me a float. Getting kicked out of fate parties for having crap gear and dying all the time is no way to go. I never saved the leveling gear from my other classes because I had everything at 50 when the ninja came out that i converted all my other stuff to materia to sell on the server that I transferred to since I couldn't bring 2 mil only 1mil so it was all converted to sellables.

I do. :/ I hate auto-run.

That's a bit weird. I'll go FATE grind in N Than in full crafting gear without problem. Plus, it's not like I'm the only one. You, your wife, and your two chocobos and you should have 0 problems. :/ At this point, your FC should've lept to your defense. Like someone from my FC mentioned recently, they're like your extended family. ^^

I like to charge in there and try to claim all that I can.. and to be honest... I almost never have my chocobo out because i forget that it's a thing I can do. I never got it past rank 3 i think. Choco regen was so bad i figured that they were just there to be a tank until it died to buy you some time to try and take the add or boss down. I hate playing the safe game and at level 45 in coetheras i can run from fate to fate just beating the crap outta stuff and do what looks like real damage unlike in CPP.

Your healer bird can keep your ass alive. :/ Trust me, it's cures are real useful for FATE grinding. And if you hate playing safe game... why were you staying in Coerthas? :/

eta: And if you're in a party with others' chocobos, having 3 or 4 choco regens slapped on you makes you godly. XD
