A bot i've kept track of after reporting it.

Part of the approach SE do is to monitor the RMT trails. They are playing the long game. They want to wipe out the whole chain in one go, which is what they have done before on this game and previously on FFXI. Wipe out those bots today and those companies create new ones immediately. Watch where the gil goes and track all the accounts it flows through for one month and SE can wipe out the bots, the gil banks and those people that buy the gil as well. All in one go. Take out the gil buyers and the gil sellers will leave because with no customers its a waste of time. In the meantime we all have to put up with the annoyance of it.

I hope you are right. Anyway.

agreed, the botting continues because there is a market for it. The secret is to get rid of the buyers, you'd think the risk of getting you account hacked would be a deterrence, but apparently, people are still buying.

This was the main reason I stopped playing, too many bots and nothing at all being done about it. They've won.

I totally understand and appreciate the concept, except... Well, the quote of the famous British economist John Maynard Keynes comes to mine: 'In the long run, we are all dead.'

This one bot on Excalibur has been reported several times by several people I know, it used to stand for weeks on end doing the same repetitive routine, repeatedly botting Karakul in Coerthas, never once moving in all that time. It is still in game.

The same bot on balmung has been farming apkallus in the same spot for the last three weeks. Reporting him every day hasn't helped.

*cough*

Pls insert anti lalafell statement here.

People can be greedy, impatient, and stupid. Anyone who buys gold at this stage in ARR's life is certainly all of these things to some degree.

I see literally 0 reason to buy Gil right now. With relics and DL gear being so easy to obtain, and Gil being so easy to make (I'm sitting on 700k, and I've handed out about 500k of mats to FC members) and I've barely been trying to earn.

I just don't understand it.
