    Dunno if scam or not, a GM would decide that. You do own every button you push ingame, though.

    Relocating to place a retainer to capture auto clickers and take their gil is happening and I would consider it a scam when the relocation is done simply for that purpose.

    If you were to use an auto clicker (third party tool) to click for you, and then afk / stop paying attention to whatever you're clicking, you're essentially botting since you're having the auto clicker click the plaque for you and hit accept. You're just setting yourself up to get banned if that's the case. If anything, this teaches people there's no shortcuts to housing savage.

    Now, if this wasn't an auto-clicker but a person's mistake? The reality is that not paying attention to whatever you're agreeing to is entirely on you as you had to click through the confirmation window when you were buying it. It's unfortunate if that happened, but that goes for anything that has a confirmation window and said player mindlessly spammed okay/confirm (even if it was throwing away your unfinished relic weapon instead of that lv 35 dungeon weapon by accident). Confirmation windows is set to prevent you from accidentally doing something you don't intend to do, it doesn't stop people who don't read what they're doing and hit confirm regardless.

    How are you being taken advantage of when you own every button you press?

    Ire earned is ire earned

    - if your exploiting an auto clicker, your experiencing ‘rot to the fruit’, aka you can not gain from legal actions if your actions are illegal.

    Using an auto clicker is against TOS, and punishable, be lucky your not getting banned and only loosing gil. Gil does not vanish on its own.

    (2): option 2, you gave someone else access to your account and they stole your Gil, that is your fault in any case then.


    My advise, learn from this, and avoid it in future

    Would you be taken advantage of if you were present at your PC or television screen, there and able to hear (if not looking at screen) or see when the house was purchased?

    If someone is able to relocate (or purchase a plot) place a retainer directly in your mouse (or controllers) line of sight, all in the time while you're there actively paying attention... then were you really there?

    They are bots not people.
