    Oh and FYI Im not saying bots don't exsist. Ive run into Mining Bots in FCs on my old server ( some in top tier FCs ) and reported them to their FCs leaders with Mixed results. In one case the FC Leader booted the offending player. In another case the FC Leader told the Player hours later that I had reported them and I got /tells from him and a couple other members of the FC that "I should stop being a baby and not report for botting." Now I don't bother going to the FC Leaders, I just fill out the GM Ticket and let them do their work.

    I don't care about your reasons, but it is getting very annoying.

    Ahh the Difference Between Player Bots and RMT Bots... One lot actually move between targets (Macroed too High Heaven) Other Teleports Between targets.

    Reported a Couple of RMT Bots afew weeks ago, They Kept going for the same 3/4 Respawns of Ice Sprites in Coerathas, Would Attack and Attack and Attack with no worry about there own Health, All in crafted gear and would as i said Teleport between the targets. (Finish Killing the one enemy and then immediately be on the next one even though it was quite a distance away).

    I Can Understand why people do it.. but it's Still cheating and... If your gonna let the game play itself.. why not play FF13?

    Sometimes insanity is the Only option.... Sanity Isn't the Norm, It's only what's Expected.
    Insanity is the option that you can take as an Exit if you need too.

    Because FFXIII and FFXIII-2 keeps freezing at the beginning of the game.

    Bans come in waves. You gotta just report and move on. Eventually it will be researched and taken care of. Just realize that for every report you send in, the get thousands more probably every minute. They have to filter through those and find the actual bots/rmt as apposed to the people that get reported because someone thinks they are a bot. It will happen, just takes time.

    Ahh... well, a quick google search did come up with a fate/combat bot. So i might be included to believe this could actually be happening.

    Don't bot kids.

    its not just the spamming of 1 skill, or movement back to the exact same place, or the precise usage of the same abilities under the same exact conditions, repeated over and over. Its the sum of all of these things that lead to the assumption of botting. Again... all of the evidence, even when viewed as a whole, is circumstantial.

    But if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...

    Is this post supposed to be about you not finding anyone to party with? Someone using a bot will probably end up on wrong side of the ban hammer, in which case they still wont be able to play with you.

    Maybe start your own party finder group would be a better solution or perhaps join a more active FC?

    No this post is about bot affecting the gameplay of a game I am paying for. I didnt just watch someone for 5 mins and say BOT. I have been watching for weeks and I have been reporting people who I know are bots. I even has some friends who told me certain people have admitted to botting the hell out of stuff it makes it easy.

    Now I do make most of my own parties I even teach end game parties. So please if you are here just to blindly defend bots then leave. Read it all and do your own research as well. Since you are hyperion take a hour or 2 to watch all the players in Northern Thanalan since thats one of the easy spots to find them.
