Yeah, but the problem there is Square being vague with its terms again :x Because if they themselves don't define it well, then people will interpret them however they feel. Thus starting these arguments.

Faloop, as a tool, strictly speaking, is just that. It's a place for people to tick whether or not it's killed or spawned, or spawnable or whatever. Even if we had third party tools allowing to know that, you still are going to need people to keep the website up to date, as well as spawn and kill said Hunt.

When it comes to older zones, it's almost always as a result of a shard/crystal farming bot being present when something spawns as they have a hunt detector built into their toolkit.
Wait, do you mean Discord bots? : o Because those retrieve the information from Faloop that others put out, and relay it over to discords. It's not an in-game third party tool. It is an automated part that Faloop can acquiesce to, but it's an intermediary thing. You can also do that with Angler or FF14 Alarms.

idk if there's an actual plug-in to do that directly into the game :I but if there is, first of all, yikes. Secondly? It's not a flaw with Faloop itself. The bot is getting info that other people record and relay it to others. The real danger there is the bot's existence to begin with.

As for the older zones... yeah, I agree. I don't think that's a problem with Faloop at all there though, that's just people botting the game to force it. That's a third-party tool use, so it's a violation, regardless of whether Faloop is tied to it or not.
