I am not going to reveal how I found out they are bots - they are indeed well programmed, they running around for nods, just like normal players, but the fact that there are a lot of details showing they are not PC. For example,

THIS machine


and its profile

What if I tell you it was lvl 10 Gladiator, lvl 12 Miner a month ago, when I first saw it?


Just, please tell me they like your game SE, that the ONLY thing they do are mining shards. Your in-game log will tell you everything.

I would say i'm amazed it only took a bot a whole month to go 12-38, in spite of the pittance of exp shards should give.

Anyways, Legacy folks, many of them, have had capped shards and even crystals from 2 years of nothing special to craft, so, there's that to consider.

This does not necessarily mean the person is a bot, it could be an alt.

My 1 4 jobs to 50 was fishing, and 3 crafting jobs. I had everything else 20 or lower.

My Botany and Mining both made it to almost 40 before I level my 1st 50 combat job (MNK).

I have since leveled all of the other jobs. However the level of the gatherer vs others does not necessarily make it inferior. Honestly if I was only farming shards on an alt for money I would use the cheapest to repair gear I could get. As Shards do not HQ.

As stated previously this is not a teleport bot. Also those kind of numbers are realistically achievable. I have more than 9999 in some shards and crystals (I store the excess on my retainers. I have recently started dumping some of the excess shards as my retainers were starting to get full.

While it is quite possible this is a bot, there is not enough evidence presented for SE to act on this player as a bot (plus 38 in 3 weeks is pretty slow for a true bot).

You're reading it wrong.
I was not accusing him being a bot JUST because his class leveling.


Oh Excalibur? Isn't that a Legacy server. I'm not surprised that you have maximum shards, not at all.
