STOP THE BOTS!

[Mensworth]

SE This needs to stop. To many botters are getting away with cheating and its starting to cause an issue. I have been reporting people for a week now on hyperion and FC's at the top are starting to get out of control. I can show you videos I have recorded of these botters if thats what it takes. I can even name people off.

It's starting to ruin my experiance in this game. I'm having trouble finding full fate parties because of it and speed runs are almost gone now because bots would rather farm fates. I mean why not? They are getting away with it with no action taken towards them.

...Yeah. sounds to me he's confusing bots with those poor people who lost their souls to the atma / novus grinds.

Or he's identifying people who have sold their souls to botting because of the atma/novus grind. I know the thought of botting didn't really cross my mind until the RNG fate-fest. It would also explain why totally legit seeming accounts are botting now. And like KidVideo said: A simple google search will list a few very simple to use combat/fate bots (that are also capable of DoH/DoL). Just look for yourself. I'd do a LMGTFY but i'm pretty sure linking to any website that promotes 3rd party tools is against the TOS.

So maybe Square Enix should be dealing with the cause, and not the effect. If that many people feel the need to resort to using bots because of atma farming, maybe that's what people need to complain about.

I don't know what you are talking about... bots farming fates? Show us your video then.

Maybe he is one of those "Thy don't talk to me when I scream at them, so they have to be bots"

running around mining watching movies suddenly an agitated lala "I REPORTED YOU*cussword* BOT *cussword*"

me "Go be little somewhere else"

it teleported away without an anwser =_=

seemingly running around from node 1->2->3->4->1 and so on is botting.
Same thin with fates. or anything else tat requires you to move in a more or less weird pattern

and first thing came to my mind because of the thread name
STOP THE BOTS

there are bots doing dungeons why is it so hard to believe there are doing fates ? I have mixed feelings with bots, if you think of it when you do repetitive things on and on and on again you too are a bot, so if you see me mining iron, gold ore or what not, constantly for hours at end...you would think I am a bot...you can send mea /tell doesnt mean I will answer so you would report me for botting right ? in fact I dont bother with /tells so w hat ? I am a bot ?

I prefer to see actions taken agaisnt RMT rather then bots....those dont bug me unless in a dungeon but then again you can always kick it..

So you are telling me that people tend to run to the same spot every time a fate is not up facing the same way and moving with afk sign up?

Oh how about the fact that I would wait to turn a fate on like the earth spirit one in northern thanalan and they all come running the moment it turns on but no one will bother with it until then. How about the fact that sometimes these "playing people" run back and forth like the program is trying to decide if it wants to run back to the spot and wait or run to the fates.

Bot's are easy to find and you may not want to believe it because you may be one yourself. All it takes is a little time to see the pattern. I will be posting these videos shortly.
