Discussion: How Can We Handle Botting Better?

[KageTokage]

It's not as though anyone would actually miss the piddly amounts of gil you get from doing the ARR dungeons (You can make more gil with the few company seals you can get from a single piece of gear then you would from all the gil drops in an ARR dungeon) and they already realized how pointless it was since gil drops don't even exist in the HW/SB dungeons. The only reason their method of farmining is even practical is because they do it with several dozen parties of bots simultaneously and warp hack to skip straight to all the parts of the dungeon that matter.

While it is true they'd likely just try to find an alternative method, it would at least get them to buzz off until they find it. They really need to implement some kind of countermeasure for the basic forms of hacking they abuse, though.
