So Devs...Are we going to rule with an iron fist this time around?

Jesus Christ there is so much wrong in this post I don't even know where to start.

It's ok to be in denial when you've never played more than 1 MMO in your life. We all know RMT didn't hit big in XIV till around the end of it's life span when it was a smart idea to start hoarding gil for the relaunch.

We also know botting doesn't exist in any MMO ever. You never hear about hacks or bots existing in MMOs. It's practically unheard of.

Yeah, I haven't played more than 1 MMO in my life.

Fyi, bots aren't made using addon API, they're made as standalone programs that mimic button presses and as packet sniffers, which is what makes them almost impossible to detect programmatically, and require a human eye.

And it's not the "standardization" of an MMO that enables RMT, it's how much demand there is for RMT goods, which is a direct result of having rare, powerful and needed items be tradable between players and be easily monopolized. FFXI struggled with this for years before more Rare/Ex items were introduced as replacements or alternatives for things like Peacock Charm.

Fyi, bots aren't made using add-on API, they're made as standalone programs that mimic button presses and as packet sniffers, which is what makes them almost impossible to detect as a program, and requires a human eye.

This, we won't be able to have add on bots.. Even packet sniffers are hard to see to the human eye, as long as the users responding with real time tells then they're usually fine.

Just leave it, the amount of negativity she manages to spout on a daily basis (not even informed or well thought negativity, just plain negativity) is beyond me. I don't understand how a person can hate on something so much and stick around just to keep hating on it.

Yeah they were always at Cedarwood running Leves

Those were around pretty much since the beginning though. Reps had mentioned they had many of them banned but there was just no way to keep up with how many accounts they were creating.
