Mod users in FFXIV are getting out of control

[Sebazy]

You guys using ACT don't even know what ACT does.
It can read/write to memory in the game client for:
Targets
Chat log
Monsters
Party members
Server time
ZoneID's
Player

So there is nothing stopping anyone from writing a bot using ACT, and it's likely bots exist that use it.

I think you're reaching a little too far with this frankly.

There is nothing stopping anyone from writing a bot using keyboard macros, and it's likely bots exist that use it.

I could add pretty much any software that could be used to parse the logs FFXIV puts out to that list, even simply pixel peeping at the frame buffer could be used to write a bot (This is how I fished in XI).

Please keep in mind that ACT isn't the Windower framework from FFXI, don't confuse the two as they are very different in the functionality they offer and as such it'd be good if you could stop trying to paint it as something that it isn't.

I'll just leave this here...

While it would be hard to create a fully autonomous bot, you absolutely can use Triggernometry to send keypresses to FFXIV based on triggers. I'd imagine you actually could automate a fair bit with the plugin.
