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.

Does it really have to come down to be the responsibility of the players?

With limited playtime, and lots to do, I used to report some teleport botters, only to still see them again.

So nope, I want to help, but if they don't do their part (SE) - End of Story.

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.

I send my 4 retainers out every hour for fleece they bring back 15 some hq and some normal in 4 hours I have 4 stacks just from retainers. I farm fleece for 30 minutes and sometimes I have 10 stacks if I am lucky due to the 3-9 drops at a time. not so hard even with out being a both. not all of us farming are bots

This is exactly what we talked about yesterday. People use the /busy for avoiding rmt tells. I do it my self, /busy does not mean it's an rmt. Just because they are there for days does not mean it's an rmt. Maybe the same time you play they play and they just happen to be on every time you go into that area. This asinine witch hunt has gotten a little out of hand.

Like one of the above posters listed bots are pretty easy to hunt down if they are bots. /busy does not mean its a bot. Being in one area for a long time does not mean bot. Most bots follow specific paths and do specific things too tip you off. Quite frankly I don't give a crud about them as long as they are not trying to send me tells to buy there bs.

You don't get rid of the sellers by banning bots you get rid of them buy banning the people that buy the gil. No customers no merchants.

He probably mean afk, not busy. Like this :

I could be wrong, but i don't think you can normaly keep the afk tag while moving arround.

Yea you can't keep afk up while moving around.

I spotted a better yesterday farming wind shards. Was funny, I would go up and holy all he wind elemental so before they could auto target and aero spam the wind elementals

[Satia]

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

Some people have /busy up because of RMT's
