Crafter=Botter (90%)

[Zephir]

I know that SE do nothing about this...I know that there are person that say in this forum (I'm Botting and SE do nothing)

But this is my idea...

days ago I'm at friend's home and my eyes was catched by a little lalafell on screen with my friend that was engage in crafting (in legal and normal way)

After around half hour i am definitively that NOBODY (normal, with a social life) can have multiple 50 craft without a bot assistance.

Or a perso is an Android or is quite impossible to stay hour and hour in crafting..

We don't talk about fishing and etc... that are more terrible.

Personally i don't like crafting....but in older system (like FFXI) is possible to reach lv 100 craft with fair gaming.

Here with failure of recipe, random exp, and bad crafting system (made to encourage botting).

I like FFXIV but is very very very bad to see botter all around the game.... a game that, again, with him mechanics encourage BOT and not fair players....

Shame on SE....

Possibility to craft(BOT) in istance is again a very unhappy choice. that seem to be a gift for unfair players

When GOB bounty hunters against bot? (near every mining/logging point and etc?)

Or aggro mercenary lv 99? (XD)

I know people in game that have multiple 50 crafting classes and battle classes that have done it all legit, there isn't a lot to do in game right now so lots of folks just sit around crafting while BSing in voice chat, it really isnt that hard to get 50 in crafting in a reasonable amount of time if you do it the most efficient way.

Keep in mind that crafting has a lot less down time than battle.

I know a lot of multiple-50 crafters that do not bot at all. I personally like crafting and have a good idea of how to level several of them fairly quickly. Yes there are a few that bot, saying 90% do is retarded.

You can craft whenever you want, wherever you want. Although the SP is slower than battle, and always has been, you can make up for it in the fact that most people don't grind outside of leves and raptors, so you'll end up doing more crafting since those only take up a couple hours out of every 36. That's if you wanna do it, but still... OP is an obv idiot/super jealous.

Pop quiz, how many games don't encourage botting?

BEEEEH sorry time's up all they all do.

Have yet to encounter an MMO without a ton of bots.

I would like to wave my hand and get rid of bots but the likelihood is the same as me waving my hand and getting rid of stupid people or waving my hand and having my dinner appear before my hands. None of which are ever going to happen.

also id like to point this out as a pure FACT

every game has this issue, its not the game that causes the issue, its the fact that it is a game, and someone wants to find a way to make it easier/cheat, so they use/make bots

its not the games, but the nature of the people who play them

This is very true. But this game has an especially tedious and bot-friendly system for an essential component of the game.
