    What?? Hahahahaaaahahah

    Why would SE want to ruin their own game's economy and ban their own paying customers?

    Besides... If SE wanted to sell their own gil then they would not use 'bots' they can just assign max gil to any account they want.


    Oh I do remember a thing they did in XI you know, they said they would purposely let a RMT go on for a little while, but when that account they are watching suddenly has lots of gil transferred to it or... reaches a particular achievement that needed a lot of time THEN they would include it in the ban sweep, because the loss of so much is far more devastating then say, banning 10 new baby bots. It was a long time ago and I forget the exact details... but its worth a thought.

    Course, in the end if people stopped buying things from the RMTs then they would of course go out of business. it really does seem that NA servers have a plague of bots - perhaps the NA servers offer more business?

    Because SE can't ruin what other players already ruined long before botting became common place. Bots aren't the ones constantly undercutting items into oblivion. Also, didn't yoshi say recently to be discrete if you're going to use addons and 3rd party tools? I know he was talking about the parser and FFXIVAPP, but a lot of the bots out there are 3rd party addons to XIVAPP..so...
