I can hear Lallafel under the ground, whole cities of them

Shoosh, my child! Do not believe your lying ears. Underground Lalafells don't exist; they can't hurt you. ^___________^

I reported a load of them under Gridania's aetheryte and they were close enough to trigger player culling...I reported it and a GM contacted me abit after, few days later I never saw them in the same spot... (They were above ground but under the wooden platform funny enough)

I know if you leave idle camera on you might eventually end up on a bot under the ground.

I saw about another 10 since writing that, but now you mention it I've seen some go through the Gridania aetherite plaza and thought it was some connection/lag issue. Also saw one leave the Gridania entrance into Central Shroud and disappear each time, all makes sense now. I also see them under that giant Central Shroud tree that leads to West Central Shroud, standing awkwardly on a wooden scaffold talking to the quest NPC. (It's funny it's hard to write all that without sounding like I'm on milkroot)

Good call with the idle camera, I saw one underground doing this which was trippy, they zipped off who knows where.

Sometimes I ask myself if people actually want to play this game or just hack/cheat/bot or buy (sellers will most likely use hacks themselves) whatever title or glam only to look cool for the weekend house parties which seem to be the main selling point nowadays.

A quick google search will show you that people are literally asking for freaking Mahjong and Verminion hacks, so I don’t wanna know what the actual game content looks like.

A lot of the bots I've seen in East Shroud only train bard strangely (whole clumps of the bots will be the same level with the same odd 4 letter 2 part names, which makes it look like the same person/group are doing it). Maybe its to sell them to people that want to make bands? I guess that wouldn't really harm the game, I like the bands you see in cities.

But if people are AFK farming to sell on the market board, that would suck for the economy and real players. Especially competitive game hacks. I tried Verminion once thinking it'd be like that old school Pokemon on the gameboy, but it seemed pretty involved so didn't spend much time on it. I feel bad for those that put a lot of effort into it, only to lose to a bot software.

I'll legitimately hear the little pitter patter of footsteps, turn the camera around and no one is there (,: You Lalafells will send me to the men in white coats haha.

That actually might be the munching of the tall giraffe ones nibbling on their crackers and drinking their tea. Some say their chewing can be mistaken for the tapping of tiny Lalafell sized footsteps. Though, that could be an old Ul'dahn Lalafell tale. You know how those ones can be. >3>

There've been spider-clusters of lalabots under Limsa for years and nothing's been done about it. The people in charge of this game don't seem to care.

[LilaIronman]

They been there since the dawn of time, sometimes one or two get banned but SE wont solve anything for the brighter picture, not like the economy is good anyway, gil is literally worthless

[Godzillaxpowerrangers]

Instead of children of the corn it's lalas of the shroud.

Bots.....bots in the deep......

[Connor]

I wonder how much sub money these bots are paying the game. I mean they’ve always got so many characters stacked together the surely must have at least 2-3 accounts, right? Is that how it works?

Maybe SE refuses to do anything about them because of the potential revenue loss lol
