Possible new bot program out.

[Zorvan]

The next pairing I come across like this I'll update this post or make a new one and call you out publicly. My request yesterday stated being investigated, and was closed today...... Not that I have intentions of running the game this way, but as a small check, two monitors in 1080p on a gtx 760, I can right click on my FFXI Icon and run as different user user and as long as I'm running them in window mode I can swap with ALT+TAB and instantly control the other character.

I'm not very happy about this, as I know I can duo/trio any of the a ranks with friends. if you used that illegal technology on that, think about the game balance being upset. You guys are the biggest MMO atm, you're going to be most targeted. I don't want to see that bot kill FFXIV the way it ruined FFXI. I hope the Devs are reading. its only time before they get smart and change the program to be more undetectable.

Okay, maybe I'm just confused here, but what you're describing of "I can right click on my FFXI Icon and run as different user user and as long as I'm running them in window mode I can swap with ALT+TAB and instantly control the other character." is not botting, it's multi-boxing. Big difference. Alt+tabbing between two clients still requires manual control of each client.

That being said, being able to call out a command in chat on one character and have the other unmanned character perform the action is indeed a problem. Sounds like a script kiddie found an exploit in the chat system. And this is something that should most definitely be looked into, because if you can control another character through chat commands, who's to say you can't control other players characters in the same way if the exploit could be further manipulated.
