Cheating and RMT exploitation has hit a new level of ridiculous.

Dev time is spent dealing with lewd adventurer plates and making sure beast tribes are renamed to not be offensive, please understand.

There are players which I have encountered with humanly impossible reflex. The moment I used gap-closer even if they are engaged with some of my teammates, I was being hit the moment I landed on my target and subsequently, continuously disabled to the point I die.

There's apparently some "all-in-one" PvP add-on/hack/bot that can automatically focus fire low HP players, auto-interrupt "problematic" abilities like LBs, and a whole bunch of other nonsense that makes me question why people even bother playing the game at all.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they made a fully functional PvP bot that can actually put up a better fight then some actual players. They do exist in Frontlines already but their lack of situational/spatial awareness tends to just send them running to their deaths.

I'm more annoyed about people using assisting add-on in pvp and hope they'll get a 2 weeks ban + rank roll back during the maintenance that will validate the first series.

Well, it's now been two weeks since I reported these guys, and they're still there, hacking away and farming scrips for some unknown purpose.

I can only assume that whatever hack they are using is somehow not detectable by the "tools" the STF is using because the teleport hackers in ARR zones seldom last more then a week.

Literally all it takes is for a GM to take 5 min, zone in, notice extreme botlike behavior and act appropriately. Send em to Gaol and then sort them out.

There's gm's in this game?

They spend 80% of the time doing back end-tech support and 20% of their time doing what their job title actually entails. IMO.

After I read this I looked on my server. And I found 3 wanderers. They were in two different FCs with plenty of other 90 fishers and even more "players" around lvl 26-28 and culinary at 30.

I wish their computers would explode while they are away from it. D:

I encountered 5 bots farming Fate in Elpis on Moogle (Chaos DC).

All movement they've done was "too perfect", not even a single variation, following the same "Pathfinding" each time they go for the next Fate.

Strange behavior that lead me to report those five :

- One direction avoiding AoE, always by going backwards.
- Stop completely to move until a Fate other than Gathering anything is up
- Don't attack monster that aren't in the Zone of the Fate even if monster of the Fate are spawned. Can be proven by doing the FATE with serpent in the north of Elpis, they pop outside of the Fate and if you tank them all out, Bot won't even notice them (Even at a distance where they can cast spell to attack)
- Don't answer any message. I even ask to prove them that they weren't bot (Of course you don't get answer by doing that...)
- Don't react to Fate that need to be activated (Quest like button). BUT they go on the road once the Fate is launched.

I reported them for all of this.

Strangely enough, they disappeared 10-15 minutes after my reports (I suppose for once, GM Banned them, or putted them in prison)

[KageTokage]

I'm always puzzled by how these bot farms involving several characters manage to escape notice of the STF because the scripting is painfully easy to see when there are multiple gathering or FATE bots all following the exact route in near perfect unison.

That assumes they're actually going to observe these players first-hand instead of monitoring them strictly through their server/client side activity/data, though.
