PVP bots

[Theodric]

It's just getting worse and worse. Honourable, honest players seem to be screwed over at every turn these days.

We recently saw a prominent, famous raiding FC brag on Twitter about exploiting the housing system. They insulted anyone who raised an eyebrow or criticised them...whilst being paid a significant amount in the form of real cash and bonus perks to promote the game on things like Twitch.

PvP is gradually dying as a result of various factors, including win traders and bots.

I have to wonder if it's an issue with funding. Perhaps Square Enix need to invest more money in hiring people to address reports? The game did, after all, grow far beyond what it expected to be after it relaunched as ARR. Do we know if the support team grew over time?

Most probably not, most of the funding went towards the funding FF15 and other SE games. (if i'm not wrong, that yoshida said they have shortage of crew to handle the overwhelming of production)
This however, iirc, yoshida said that for the stormblood expansion, they receive a much more budget compared to the heavensward expansion budget.
