Botters

[Rentahamster]

I can see why it might be in a company's financial interest to be more lenient towards certain kinds of characters with minor botting activity since they are, after all, making use of a paying account.

However, in the case of FF14, no one is paying any money, so it's not like SE is going to lose income over banning a few hundred botters.

This is why I don't understand why SE isn't being aggressive about cheating. They don't stand to lose money. They built the entire game to crazily combat cheating and RMT...and then the STF is nowhere to be seen the first year of the game's life.

Doesn't make any sense to me at all why they would torpedo the game with anti-cheating and anti-rmt countermeasures that end up making the game unfun for everyone...and then allow people to cheat all the un-fun content they built to prevent cheating.

Yep. It's like...management has no idea what it's doing!

It's nice that they are rebooting Final Fantasy 14, but they should also reboot their senior management while they're at it.
