Hard work DOESN'T pay off

[Gyrus]

Here we are, busting our butts off! While hackers and botters rule Eorzea, It's sickening.

What's the point of even trying when the next botter/hacker will do what you've done a million times faster. SE said they had a STF to combat the RMT, Yet it's still going strong. Botting, Still going strong. With the new server exploits it's just icing on the cake.

I wanted to love this game, In fact i still do, but it's leaving a bitter taste in my mouth very quickly! I've seen bugs/botters in other games, but not at this amount. Never have i seen a MMO where you edit things client side and the server accept it. This is Rookie level...

Please fix this game. Sooner, than later.

Why does it bother you?

IF it doesn't bother you, than you must be one of them.

Or I just play the game and not let silly things like this get underneath my skin. Every game will have people that exploit it. I don't see how this is new or exciting enough to get your panties in a twist.

Perfect inductive reasoning Sherlock.

It personally doesnt bother me because I'm not affected by it, however if I was trying to make money of say Shards, you can say goodbye, by the time you collect 1000 to put up, RMT have botted about 100,000 and you have zero chance to make money, this, with every item gathered. Pretty tough sometimes for early income.

why does it not bother you should be the question.

so you think cheats are ok ?

the way some of you have criticized the op on this thread bet you won't even take the time to file a complaint about botting or rmt.

Running about on a forum making threads like this doesn't mean someone cares more. It just means they want to cry about it.
Everyone know the bots are out there. I have spent plenty of time reporting them. It doesn't mean i will let them spoil my fun or make me want to quit because "what's the point"

[Craftinrock]

Yes, others have made this exact point.

Somehow these people who create bots are apparently from extremely poor countries and are doing this to get some food. Yet they have the ability to hack a game and get money from it.

Yeah it sounds like BS, these are just horrible people who don't care about what's ethical and just want money no matter what.

And SE has demonstrated their incapability of getting rid of them, it's just pathetic.
