    This player was mining with the Miner's L55 main and off hand equipment and the rest was just in bikini. I sent him a tell in the morning but he didn't reply. Sent him another telling him I would report him if he did not reply. Not surprised that he didn't.

    But, really, how does one expect not to be noticed with a bikini and a botting 24/7?
    so not wanting to put wear on high level gear and being able to run nearly identicle paths and not wishing to get off their ass to reply to you is botting?
    also how do you know they were there when you werent?

    All I got to say is this guy is still there in that same spot after a week of reporting on balmung. Reported everyday and been reported by multiple people too. I mean I know they can't get them immediately but really? Over a week of more than one person reporting them everyday and not one mod can come out and be bothered to watch him?

    Just a heads up, you may want to remove your video. Last time I posted on someone elses thread about botters, I put a video of proof of those exact botters up and the entire thread got deleted and I got forum suspended for 20 days. Neat right?!

    Like I say report and ignore. The white knights of bots/multiboxer with 3rd party program will come and flame you with their thousand of excuses. Run and hide

    1) Harvesting things you have a 100% rate on naked does not make you a bot.

    2) Ignoring /tells from people on a witch hunt does not make you a bot.

    3) The ability to concentrate on a mundane and highly repetitive task for hours on end does not make you a bot.

    I am not in any way defending people who bot, but, as so often happens in these situations, the accusation of botting is being thrown around with no actual proof. I've more than once ignored /tells from random vigilantes who feel that they are the last line of defence between the player base and complete anarchy. I most definitely have the ability to concentrate on the same mundane and repetitive task for hours on end (yay for years of playing FFXI).

    I don't bot and I certainly don't support it but I also don't support random fools pestering me to prove I'm not a bot. If someone wants to report me that's fine. I'll have a nice and brief conversation with a GM if they even feel like investigating yet another baseless claim against an honest player.

    The GMs might have more time to take care of real bots if so many people didn't waste there time reporting non-verifiable claims of botting.

    Pretty much and honestly if you're not botting then you're fine. Even looking at fishing which can be entirely done by controller vibration feedback. I usually like to put on a show or movie and just fish based on controller feedback. They will deal with botters all you can do is report them.

    You follow always the same path even if there are no nodes on the way and there is one right behind you? Yes, you are a botter… or really dumb.

    I'd have to be dumb to buy a bot that bad, but that's beside my main point. It is not actual proof.

    Do you know how I know someone is human?

    When Y_t = Y_{t-1} + e

    Do you know how I know someone is a bot?

    When Y_t = Y_{t-1}

    Do you know what that e is? "Errors".
