Materia: Pyros bot army has increased upto 40+ now.. will the devs ever actually care

[Shibi]

Yeah we have a spreadsheet of every bot in Materia right now, i report it to the STF every single day, eventually they will get sick of me and do something, hopefully.

Good! I am doing the same for us. And the more people the better.

But I still don't hold much hope until Yoshi plays it. Then it would be fixed tomorrow.

Considering how much FFXIV tries to ensure that content remains "evergreen" it's crazy how little they seem to care about Eureka now. They need to remove those bunny chests and put the rewards (Pets/Mounts etc) behind some other Eureka content. Sure it removes a braindead source of gil for some, but losing just one method of money making must be worth salvaging an entire piece of supposedly evergreen content. To a large group of players, Eureka is something they will always come back to at some point, and seeing people quit or struggle unnecessarily because of an RMT farm operation is just sad.

Of course the real problem is the people who support RMT by buying it, but has any MMO with a sizeable player base ever truly solved RMT? I'm all for getting to the root cause, but they need to address the impact on Eureka first. It's fine and well to say that they'll just find some other way to farm gil, but perhaps the next method they use won't be sucking the life out of a rather large part of the games content.

This.

They ignore it because the majority of the population neither participate, or care, about eureka as a piece of content.
So the bots being here looks better than the bots being in the open world.

I'm all for SQE to just track activity times, if a player is actively doing something for 24 hours straight without a single break in inputs, then its quite obvious they are a bot.

You must be new here, and to gaming in general. Diadem was full of people playing more than this wanting the Saint/Beatus title. Heck, I've stayed on a game myself for 36 hours to "achieve" something.

...but has any MMO with a sizeable player base ever truly solved RMT?...

EQ2 cut out the middle man. They sold gems for cash that could be put on the MB, gold rich people would buy them, and could use them to pay their subscription.

It worked, until other things (like one shot boss pots) killed the game.

IU suppose the other option for Eureka is allow people to start new instances from the duty menu so if bots are crowding one, you can just start another fresh instance.

Bump for the cause.

[SigrunGaramonde]

Bump for the cause. Eureka is probably the only content keeping me subbed in between patches and right now, is 90% unplayable barring the odd time I can find a group to offset the NM hp bloat.

You made the effort to make the content easier to solo, which is an acknowledgement of the need to solo it once content isn't current. Now put in the effort to maintain that please.

Extremely new, how do i play this game again?

making excuses for the devs inability to moderate their own game is not acceptable.

In before they ban you for "harrasment" or "misusing the report function".
