Friend suspended for too many S rank attempts

[rxantos]

Probably some envious soul reported him and the GM just looked at the logs without checking if it was indeed botting or not.

Systems are always abused.

what the actual fuck is wrong with this company? this is worse than me getting reported and jailed for asking some scumbag POS tank that refused to put stance up, to "hey can you please put stance up we keep wiping "

exactly some of them are just fucking shmucks, i lent a good friend i knew for ~8yrs 5million gil.... a pitiful amount i didnt really care about to bid on a house, he wins it, shares estate with me, 3 weeks ago by i've dumped another ~15mil into decorating our shared house that i was super happy about(this is someone i spoke like HOURLY to on discord for YEARS) then one day logs on removes me from shared estate, leaves linkshell, blacklists me ingame so i goto msg on discord that hes been hacked.... blocked, so im like huh???? i wait a few weeks and start getting whispers from his new FC mates to "leave him alone" which was bizarre as no interaction, finally i got fed up and wrote "kili invidia is a scumbag scammer" in my player search comment, LITERALLY 3 MINUTES LATER(they HAD to have been player searching me, no?) get a whisper from his new FC leader asking me to remove that comment and stop harassing him or i'd "face repercussions" i was like sure ill remove it just let me know why he did this?? it's so random we'd been friends for 8 yrs..... 10mins later i get pulled out of a fucking roulette into a jail cell with a 3 IQ GM that ABSOLUTELY DID NOT CARE WHATSOEVER about what he did or that he robbed me and harassed me for 2-3 weeks, 3 day fucking suspension for "harassment" i was like WTF!!?!?!!?! i didn't play for like 6 month after that because i was so butthurt.

3 days cause it was my 2nd report, 1st was a warning for askking a dancer "what the fuck is wrong with you" because they kept clicking the sword in susano, not doing the ATE and then saying "LUL DANCER TANK!!" in party chat... 4 TIMES IN A ROW!!!! obviously its a wipe when that happens... GM said i should have just left.... yeah NO you idiot

Like it or not, there is no such thing as early pulling within SE's design intent for hunts. They are meant to be pulled on sight. That is why there is no invuln period after spawning or other mechanics to prevent players from engaging with them for a specified amount of time. That is why reporting players for early pulling is a waste of your time and the GM's time.

Let him pull on arrival if he wants. If others present prefer to wait to allow more players time to arrive, they can do that while he attacks solo. Alone he is not going to be able to kill most S ranks that quickly.

This is...confusing if true considering I've spent years reporting people who routinely use actual botting programs on alt accounts yet they get off free despite it being painfully obvious that they're following the same precise paths in circles for hours on end without cease.

Seeing their responses in this thread make it make a lot more sense. It turns out that calling a GM a Yiddish slang word for a foolish, contemptible person doesn't make them amenable to consider your case with mercy.

I suspect a few of those individuals aren't truly away from keyboard. They're letting the program do the work while they're doing something else on a second monitor. If a GM sends a tell to talk, they're right there able to respond while a true bot either wouldn't respond or would have some sort of scripted response that a GM could see through.

Considering this game lacks anything equivalent to Blizzard's Warden, it's doubtful that the GM or the STF would pursue it any farther.

They're literally using ChatGPT so that they don't have a scripted response anymore.

I was killing mobs for mats the other day. Wonder if they'd ban me for that too.
