Cheaters in the Gold Saucer, What Can We Do?

I really feel convinced at this point that they just overlook anyone who's paying a subscription fee, because reporting non-RMT bots has accomplished absolutely nothing, whether they be the mass-produced gil farmers, or the actual players who are simply too lazy to gather or get MGP legitimately.

As for how they could stop/hinder MGP botting specifically, they could at least randomize the point where the power gauge for Cuff-a-Cur starts, as it's the only game that has no element of RNG involved in it and thus is extremely easy to get consistent gains with a bot.

As far as chocobo races go, though, there really isn't anything that can be done short of making a more generalized way of stopping bots, as it's extremely easy to win as long you have a decent chocobo, especially in the Sagolli Road races where you can basically just hug the left side of the track the entire time to dodge all of the major hazards that the AI usually just runs into.

This is pretty much true for every MMO now, the reason why most bots beyond in game currency sellers aren't banned is because they're subbed and it gives them money and it's really just plain impossible to get rid of bots. Every action you take against them, they figure a way around it, hence why they're still in game.
