A question to the Dev^s about macros

[FayaAOP]

And of course i am interested what the people in general think.

So for the past WEEKS there are 2 groups of 8 ....lets call them subjects...on my server, farming high end areas for stuff to sell.

Either 1 tank and 7 blm or 1 whm and 7 blm.
Pulling everything in a certain radius,, killing as fast as a team that size can...very fast.

After me shadowing them and trying to interrupt where possible, one of them send me a pm. Telling me he aint botting, only using macros.

So what now? Is that great scale farming or jusst a very clever and rich player with 8 accounts?

[ZohnoReecho]

They exist, sadly… for them

Eheh nice picture
Yes, i know they exist as i made this thread to know if they are allowed in FF or if it is a bannable offense because it is just farming galore :

I doubt it's his personal desire to be rich. Who do it is mostly a goldseller. Ak runs alone gives to the player enough to have a happy life. What reason would we have to pay 8 accounts farming (with macros? lol) when everything is available to everyone?
Not even DoH. Some leves with HQ x3 rewards, a few hours and it's 50.

So yes, report him for botting, and pray someone from customer center investigate about it.

Multiboxing isn't against the TOS, SE have said so.

[diulalasing]

if by marco, its an external program, then yes, its bannable

Much like a gathering marcoing and repeatedly hammering a tree for hours on end.

Nah i have given up that any bot will be banned anytime soon.
I was just curious abbout the stance SE has for/against those kind of farming. Afterall, it will destroy the market even further.
I have caught that 8 man group in multiple locations, either spirit bonding or farming the good stuff, so my concern is more if it is allowed or not.
But as useal, SE doesnt care and no response will pop up.

But thanks to the people who wrote there opnion Allways good to see when people agree.

So tired of this bot crap.

Thank you for bringing this to the communities attention, as we were previously unaware of any botters in the game.
