People ask "Are you a bot" ?

[WowSuchName]

I was using my paladin to do Atma of Lion fate grind in Outer Lanoscea. My luck has been terrible, I have been farming here for 5 hours per day for 4 days and still no drop.

1) I start seeing common name of players that have left this zone and came back to this zone while I insist on staying on this map until it drops

2) I start having lazy habit of not dodging AOE and just 1/2/3 land that Halone combo ftw

3) I start to not watching my monitor and keep 1/2/3 while playing other game on my ipad or phone

4) As soon as one fate complete, I jump on my chocobo and rush to next zone or use teleport to town if fate is near there.

5) I start pulling fate boss to exactly safe location every time so that other DPS guy don't have to waste time killing adds.

I never realize that I did all these thing systematically just like a script...

Then someone in fate grind start asking:
- "Is this Paladin a bot, I have seen him everyday doing same thing every time...."

I got this kind of /tell when I was crafting stacks of raid food by macros.

I got sick of doing a proper combo in fates now I just Bootshine.
My rotation; 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1

Lol, I remember that from FFXI. If you stood around fishing and chatting with your LS, there was usually someone that sent a tell with "Are you a bot?". I usually ignored them, or sent a "Syntax Error:4423" message.

I haven't had this happen while farming atma yet, but I've had two people just randomly out of the blue come up to me with a handful of mobs and try and mpk me while I was leveling fishing. The first one I yelled at the dude and he used the excuse that they were lagging even tho he ran the mobs right up to me, ran around me with them for a few and when he was close to dying he ran off quick to lose threat but almost killing me. 2nd time was today where some monk came up to me while I was in Mor fishing and he stands there pulling the snakes over to try and hit me. To which I just got up, mounted and moved away and he ported out when I left the spot. XD
