do not create obscenily large naked characters

70% OF THEM ARE ROE AND VIERA BULLS IN LEVEL 2 STARTER GEAR/NUDE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LOL

[TBerry]

Ppl complaining about 20-40 afk roe's, but not the 50+ ppl who don't even pay membership ON ANY ACCOUNT on free trials in quicksands AFK until they get a tell or party inv to use mods for nsfw ooc, noone complains about the hundreds of raiders who play league of legends and gacha games that AFK for 12+ hours everyday and only tab over when they hear a tell ping instead of adding their friends on discord and logging out and they'll do that daily for 3 months after the first month of a raiding patch, noone complaints about people using 3rd party software to bypass auto-kick features square enix made, noone complains about the gposers who log in, spend 3-6 hours posing and editing just to upload nsfw pictures on twitter that Yoshi P told people not to upload, and then head to a venue to AFK with their friends they have on discord that they don't even roleplay with outside of ToS breaking mod animations, and people from NA had their panties in a bunch when they brought 800+ ppl and capped zones on OCE during modfests and OCE ppl got mad they couldn't even enter zones and told OCE natives to just hop worlds and stop complaining. If people want to complain about congestion, they should do it with their whole chest for anyone who doesn't have meaningful gameplay or social interaction when signing in and people over-congesting one area because they're too antisocial to form groups capable of spreading out.

Free Trial accounts cannot reply to tells, make parties join FCs or use the market board.

I know, what are you referring to specifically for pointing this out?

[BlisteringFrost]

When they won't do anything about bot problem, they won't do anything to this problem either.

They do ban bots. Just in waves, which ironically doesn't fix it. Asmongold clarified why that doesn't work years ago, before he even dipped his toes into FFXIV. He was explaining it and how it could be stopped in WoW very easily.

"Just ban them."

And he explained why. Most people running bots are doing it to create a profit of some kind, at the expense of the game they're abusing in the process. The problem with banning them in large waves is that every time the wave comes in to crash against them they've already acquired more accounts and enough money to continue doing it anyway. So, the solution, is literally just ban them faster. Ideally, they'd be getting banned fast enough that it starts cutting into whatever money those kinds of bots are producing for their owners. Then they'll just simply stop doing it because it's costing more than they'd make to keep running it. Players in World of Warcraft took it into their own hands by tricking the AI of the bots into attacking mobs that would inevitably kill them. Full-stopping their process. Even though "player killing" IS against the rules they don't ever do anything about it... Square Enix on the other hand..... well... Nobody's tried that tactic yet because the bots are either also running various cheat softwares to clip under the map so it's not possible to get an enemy to aggro onto them through normal gameplay.... Or.... the owner will just report you because most of the people running a bot will be watching nowadays to resume the process of anything goes wrong I.E. a bot dies for whatever reason.

As for the thread itself.... Remind me again why we care so much about several dozen buff Roegadyn men wearing the Star-Spangled Subligar and are just standing proudly in Limsa Lominsa? Are they stealing money from your bank account, or something? I can't imagine why their presence alone is so insulting. It's crazy.

[Burmecia]

if the army of alts was miqo girl or viera girls, would anyone care this much?

Doesn't really matter what race/gender combination they use, it won't erase their long history of hateful and harassing remarks towards others which is what originally drew people's ire and got GMs sicced on them in the beginning.

Being an eyesore and nuisance came AFTER when they tried to find a new way to skirt the ToS.

So.... is there any proof of this?

[Shistar]

[...]weeding out people who hide real life racism behind the eorzean lore like a guy who gposed killing one of the elephant people.

... HUH ?

[Mercury_Grey]

Okay. Where's the proof?

I have to ask nicely. Do you just not think "oh are htey racist. Let me check out what tha tperson has posted on the forums?" Cause i have replied to him and he/she/whatever gender changes what you say to fit his narrative and has even posted on forums in replies about haitng lalafells an want then to be gone. Take a moment to chekc out what he has posted if his account hasn't been banned

People that play lalas or lalas themselves? Because I fail to see a reason why anyone should care if some guy hates the fictional species with 5 cultures across 3 worlds.
