FFXIV: Cheat 2 Win - The New Norm?

That's actually 10+ bots there. Their legs are under the ground.

How can they make new characters on Balmung anyway?

Those are the automated RMT Bots with gibberish Name, they usually get banned sooner or later, hence when the Server Re-Opens after a Banwave you see tons of em jumping from NPC to NPC.

Those are completely automated and rather hard to fight back, if SE doesn't involve adding some Protection to the Client. That would get rid of some 3rd Party Tools though and would be bypassed in a matter of a time.

On the other Side there are "Normal" Players like you and me, who use Bot Programs to Gather 24/7, FATE Grind 24/7, Run Duties 24/7, usually not in a FC, if... then mostly the Owner of that Character has more then one Character and they're all in the same Company.

Now what is easier to detect? A Normal Player turning on his Program once in a while or a RMT Bot with a gibberish Name jumping around from NPC to NPC?

Inbefore People call me Paranoid because of this stuff, no, I think we all know that Players tend to Cheat.
It happened in the Past, it still happens now and it happens in the Future.

We're only able to Report in the End and if Square Enix decides to throw away those Reports, it's ultimately their Decision how they deal with that...

In the End People usually get banned if they cross the Line too much, like using Glitches/Tools for Raids that give a unfair Advantage.

On the other hand it's a Blessing for the Crafters due of the Materials and Crystals / Clusters being cheap in the end. Though... the Gatherers will curse this as they favour Gathering over Crafting.

Pretty much this.
