Destroying Server Economies

[supergiz]

I wish SE cared enough about people using their game as a source of income to start filing lawsuits, because pretty much all of the most popular botting programs are sub-based and thus profiting off of their product.




Unfortunately, they can and do regularly bot those games to farm MGP already.

Can't say how efficient they actually are at it, but I'm fairly convinced at this point that if people want to bot something badly enough, they'll find a way to do it.

Not even mendacity mats are off-limits for them, as people are known to actually form parties of bots that spam instances for the sake of farming such.

Even if you can't stop it I imagine they could make it extremely inefficient compared to what they are doing now

it will be the same, since it is a bit luck/skill based, normal ppl who suck on it will also be inefficient. so it will be same as is now.
companys running bots wont care, since they have huge amounts of them which accumulate the wares which gets them the gil. normal players who use bots will play during the day and use the most efficient way like every other player and get the same amount as normal players, during his "afk/off" time he will use the bot and wont care how much he gets,because it will still be more then ppl who dont bot(are offline/afk).
trading/farming bots cant be countered as long as there is any kind of trade in a game. even if there wasnt, you can see they offer leveling services (normal/eureka) and so on. botting will always be a thing.

Yeah that's unfortunate. Hopefully somehow in the future these companies will figure out a surefire way to combat botting effectively.

Always been against world visit now this even furthers my stance.
