    OOOH. I've seen other people, in other games, use it but not one person has got bent out of shape about it.

    So it's another WoW vs. any other game thing. Would be understandable if these people were still young but they are mostly adults now...

    Looks like someone has found a way to clone toons. Just a heads up.

    BTW, these toons were all level 50, with some off mix of crafted and artifact gear. I wasn't watching level 1 toons spawn in, in a city. This was blatant toon duplication of a level 50 toon in Revenant Toll.

    Lol topic derailed so hard just over the use of toon.

    Anywho, I've seen this quite often. Even have some SS somewhere on my ps3 & ps4. It's usually a party of BLM's, and the group I see most often is part of the same FC. Am looking on their lodestone page and it's pretty much a lalafellian army of clones.

    They're taking over!

    They're RMT bots. This is what they've done since 1.0, and even in FFXI. A full party of Tarutaru / Lalafell BLMs running around collecting "product".

    In regards to the original post, unless I'm misinterpreting what they wrote, the concern was that someone was duping, and I don't think this issue (always a cause for concern in an mmo) was directly addressed in this thread.

    No, this likely was NOT a case of RMT finding a way to build a single character, and then split that character into several characters with the same gear. As others have mentioned, it is not uncommon for RMT to level identical characters in groups in order to sell them to buyers later. (Less frequently, legit multiboxing players might do the same thing, not to sell characters but just for fun - in those cases, though, they are unlikely to create identical characters.)

    The reason that the characters all have identical gear is the same reason why cars off an assembly line will have identical tires. The RMT have a process for building characters, and sticking to it is more efficient. Level to 10, buy X, Y, and Z gear. Level to 20, buy A, B, and C gear. etc. The end result is a bunch of identically geared characters. No duping or cheating involved.

    Yeah figured as much~ ^^ trouble with these is unless you see them breaking rules or doing some obvious cheating you can't really report them.

    What would you say? "X Y & Z were in a party together. They looked and geared exactly the same and were following each other around." Mm hmm

    My character is not a Toon ;__; She is a cute Elezen female who has a tragic past that haunts her. On the outside she shows nothing, but all she does is trying to make everything right and fullfilling the cause her parents died for.

    Sounds like a typical anime character. A toon she is.
