North Thanalan Botting

[Arkann]

So, there's this guy who used to be in my FC then left to make his own with another member (a girl he literally showered with minions, glamour items, money for a house, furniture, etc. despite not being a crafter, gatherer, raider, anything that makes money). It's been a week (maybe more) since he's been botting in N. Thanalan, not answering my /tell or emotes. So there is not the shadow of a doubt he's botting. And I've noticed many of those who bot use the same gear:

When the bot was leveling his Dragoon, it was also wearing the Dragoon-equivalent on the left side, and level 30 strength accessories instead of level 30 vitality accessories. Looks like there's a pattern here.

It's probably the same Guy running tons of Characters at once. It's a common thing for Gil/Gold/Whatever Farmer.
They level up to 60 and then they only run Duties (No Random Group but his own Group of 4 Bots run these) to farm Gil and other Stuff which they sell on the Marketboard.

You'd be surprised how stupid some Bot Owners are, they gather all their Characters in a Spot, wearing all the same Items.

There are also a few "Clever" Bot Owners, you won't see them hanging out in Town or in populated Spots such as North Thanalan as there are other Methods to grind your Levels.

When they made enough Gil, it's extra $$$ / €€€ for them. This is not just in FFXIV, you'll mostly see it in F2P MMORPG Titles.
