Crafter=Botter (90%)

[Ilean]

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.

If someone is caught botting/power leveling/selling or buying gils, that person would be kicked out of our linkshell.
And make sure his name as a cheater will be given to our friend Linkshells.

Every cheater in this game should be put to a point where he'll stop playing, or for the worst goes reroll on an other server.

FFXIV in windowed mode + dual monitor + Netflix = easy crafting. Gather mats, spam Standard and catch up your favorite shows.

SE will address the botters i'm sure once people have to start paying. They made a anti Gil buyer task force for ffxi after all!

How to solve botter crafters: have one of those text capture images come up every time you want to start an item.

(Please don't, I'm not being serious)


Realistically, anything that it mind numbingly boring and the chinese don't force the prisoners to do it, a bot probably will. And I thought this game was made for the casual person in mind...

it does not matter how easy or hard or boring something is. if it has levels to gain people that are botting now will bot regardless of how fun it is. they bot to get ahead or to keep from having to go farm their own materials or to have items to sell. levels and gil are the reason for botting and either way the bot program will outdo someone doing it themselves. there is no way a person can keep up with a bot running round the clock. it never sleeps and is always churning away.

the ideas of making things harder for people to bot are actually asking for a slow tedious time consuming process to become even more so. anything they could put in place to stop the bots will make the legit players experience even less enjoyable.

if you don't think that's the case check out the gathering hidden fatigue and tell me that anti-rmt method doesn't make gathering less fun when you start breaking item after item.
