Crafter=Botter (90%)

[darkstarpoet1]

Whether it's easier or more difficult to bot in FFXIV than other games is completely irrelevant. That's why it's not a moot point. If they made changes that kept the spirit of the system but made it more difficult to bot, wouldn't you be in favour of it?

The OP is clearly way off base and I mostly agree with your earlier sentiments. But justifying a mediocre system by comparing the relative ease to other games makes little sense.

this depends on what kind of changes they are planning on making. if you make it negatively impact the people doing it legit now more than fatigue already is then no i am not. i am already not in favor of fatigue and gathering fatigue because it has a negative impact on legit players. i do not want to see more of them.

Regardless on how I feel about bots and generally breaking the rules...

If crafting was fun people would do it themselves instead of leaving it to scripts.

no they wouldn't. there are people that do whatever they can to get ahead. a bot runs while you are not at the computer so you get levels and have to do nothing to get it. this goes for paying for someone to level your battle classes, craft botting, farm bots, and gathering bots.

they get something for nothing and no matter what changes are made to make them more fun the bot will always rank faster than you do since it never sleeps or has to leave the house.
