Okay now the botting is getting a little out of hand...

I'm generally surprised no interviewer has covered this towards the launch of Shadowbringers.

I believe all questions are pre-approved and anytime ppl have asked anything difficult, they have gone rogue, which is why you can see the irritation of Yoshida's face when it happens.

Or they are just interviews from ppl that they know would never question their greatness and take the chance of loosing their approved status and any future access.

Any time a player comes into a large amount of gil, or an expensive item to sell that he didn't pay for, ban that player permanently.

Cool, so if I dislike someone I can just send them 10 mil gil or an expensive item and get their account terminated

And see the boys that fly through the air in areas where there is a no fly zone activated like in Thanalan and such.

*puts on tinfoil hat*

... okay, okay. Listen.

What if... this is just some genius marketing ploy for the upcomming Nier alliance raid? The Copied Factory.

That actually was a problem in some MMOs with stricter policies.

People would buy currency from a RMT website with their own money but have it be sent to the character of someone they didn't like so they'd get punished when they eventually investigated the RMT account to see who it was sending money to.

It does make the concept of punishing gil buyers a lot dicier if it can be abused in such a manner, though the fact you need to be friends with someone to send them mail makes it much less likely to happen then in MMOs where mail can be sent freely as it would mean blindly accepting friend requests from gibberish-named randoms.

I seen a bunch running around in mid air yesterday in Gridania. It was as i was teleporting out and had to give it a 2nd look
What a plague they are and those that support them really

[KitiaraIornsight]

Famfrit server was so bad yesterday that New Gridania could barely load for PS4 players. There were HUNDREDS of them flying through the air walking through walls it was insane.
Something needs to be done. The bots are making the login queues stay.

Bot numbers have grown since Shadowbringers launch, yes. But what was going on more recently, and especially yesterday was markedly different. Far more bots visibly moving rather than insta-teleporting, and then last night multiple servers had crowds of bots immobile around the Aetherites and elsewhere. Some would get manually moved one at a time. I suspect either the botters scripts broke, or maybe(hopefully) SE finally managing some effective countermeasures

I saw a whole line of them running through the sky at Horizon last night. Freaked me the heck out. I don't remember it ever being this horrible before.

My friend logged in this morning. They are still in Famfrit in massive numbers just standing around.
