3rd Party Program Bot farmers everywhere!!

[LunarCain]

As title said. Bot Farmers everywhere!!

I dont believe how 1 retainer can have 20 99 stacks of a material so valuable and 5 99 HQ stacks for sale at Market board.

Fleece, Snufle Tufts, Hippo Skins and Sinew etc etc

Even if I were to report the player, SE does nothing.

You have to be careful with your reports. You can end up reporting innocent people unless you know exactly how to spot a botter.

Like you have to watch them for a while, if they are on a set path or not. How they target the mobs. How they kill the mobs. How long it takes for them to run between the mobs. If they do the same thing in the same place that you saw them a few moments ago then they are probably on a set path.

You cannot call everyone bots just because you see people farming though.

they have the /busy thingy and have been there for like....1-3days at the same spot. Also they try to undercut the price on the Market board thus destroying the price range. Same retainer on the MB selling a lot of x99 stacks all underprice. Also a lot of HQ x99 stacks. I can guess its the same farmer. example fleece was 900 per now he undercut it to the price of fleece to be 150 per. Snufle Tufts also went from 1.5k to 500 per.

Not everybody with /busy up is a bot. -_-

Some people have /busy up because of RMT's

fleece is very easy to get, to be honest.. u can get 99 stack of fleece in a very short time.. before i have lvl50 crafters, by selling fleece is one of my main income bcoz it's easy to get and high demand..

Maybe they mistaking them for the AFK one, because i see quite a few bots running around with AFK icon, unless there is some way to have that up at all times while moving, that's pretty much a dead give away. never saw one with busy status,

I've been tracking and reporting the same 4 bots on Tonberry every day for a month and nothing has been done. My friends have given up reporting them because nothing gets done. There's not a shadow of doubt that they are botting. There are a variety of things you can do to verify bots which I won't go into on the forums as the joke will end up being on me instead of them. They rotate daily between Wind Sprites in Lower La Noscea and Golden Fleece in Eastern Thanalan. I've even seen them trading materia and soulbind gear with their owner (5 accounts being driven by one person).
I ask passers-by every day to report them and get ignored.

Are you sure that's not a legit multiboxer ? Did they /follow & /assist a leader or act independently ?
