    Weekly Post to the STF

    Following the weekly Actions Taken Against In-Game RMT & Other Illicit Activities, I've sent in a summary of the bots we've found to the STF.

    Dear Special Task Force,

    There are thousands of bots on North American and European servers that have been running for 3 months to 2.5 years. Many of us have quit because the bots ruin major parts of the game, like the market board. Since the Special Task Force is only 4 people, we as a community would like to help you identify bots by reporting a weekly list of unbanned bots. To date, we have identified 63 bot rings including 240 dummy accounts for the bot Free Companies. We ask that you ban these bots, the dummy accounts and remove these fake Free Companies to prevent a resurgence, which has happened when a bot is banned but not the bot Free Company.

    We will send an updated list every week on Thursday, after the "Actions Taken Against In-Game RMT.”

    - Bot rings not terminated: 63
    - Accounts associated with bot FCs: 240
    - Oldest bot account: 957 days

    (link)

    Most bots are confirmed in game using methods listed in the spreadsheet. Unconfirmed bots are easily found from top-50 FC rankings on each server.

    Thank you,

    親愛なる特別タスクフォース、

    北米とヨーロッパのサーバーには、3か月から2。5年にわたって実行されている何千ものボットがあります。ボットがマーケットボードのようなゲームの主要部分を台無しにするため、私たちの多くは辞めました。特別タスクフォースのメンバーは4人しかないため、コミュニティとして、禁止されていないボットのリストを毎週報告することで、ボットの特定を支援したいと考えています。現在までに、ボットフリーカンパニーの240のダミーアカウントを含む63のボットリングを特定しました。これらのボット、ダミーアカウントを禁止し、これらの偽のフリーカンパニーを削除して、ボットが禁止されたときに発生したがボットフリーカンパニーではない復活を防ぐようお願いします。

    「ゲーム内RMTに対して取られた措置」の後、毎週木曜日に更新されたリストを送信します。

    -ボットリングが終了していません:67
    -ボットFCに関連付けられたアカウント:276
    -最も古いボットアカウント:958日(2。6年)

    (link)

    ほとんどのボットは、スプレッドシートにリストされている方法を使用してゲームで確認されます。未確認のボットは、各サーバーの上位50のFCランキングから簡単に見つかります。

    ありがとうございました、

    北米およびヨーロッパのFFXIVアンチボットコミュニティ

    All FCs on Chaos have the exact same setup: 9 Characters (Probably 8 in one account with 1 Main and 7 Mules + 1 Backup account in case the primary account gets suspended).
    The main character in each FC is an Omnicrafter with only 1 LV80 DoW or DoM Job.
    All FCs have no Estate. Only the primary characters have an apartment which they spend most of their time in.
    They never go AFK (on rare cases they do) or offline unless they are switching to one of the mules to update prices. So if you tried searching for the main characters and you do not happen to find them, simply search for one of the mules and you will 100% of the time find that character in one of the main cities standing in front of a summoning bell with their busy status on.
    All Minions and Mounts the main characters in each FC have are the standard ones you get automatically when you start playing - so apparently no interest in playing the game whatsoever.
    Even the names of the retainers on the servers are quite similar - which indicates a high probability of them belonging to the same person or entity.
    Also.. check out the start date of all FCs.. it is really interesting.

    Thanks Rurouni_Auron, and welcome back! Did they ban you for expletives?

    Also, you might want to delete that post. I have the information.

    I'll investigate and add those to the list--some I have on there already. Those look like the FC Market bots that are on every NA and Europe server. They're probably run by one guy for an RMT company. I didn't think about checking mounts, but that's another interesting data point to look at.

    Also, feel free to join us on the discord if you want to post the names of other bots.

    You might want to edit the post to only list FC names.

    Where do you find a list of these FCs? There's this one bot FC on Balmung that gets reported by a bunch of us weekly and yet, they're still botting. Just seeing if they are on the list.

    Thanks Nepentha. You might want to check out the discord (see message above). A list cannot be posted on the forum, as it could violate the forum guidelines.
