3rd Party Program Bot farmers everywhere!!

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

Some people have /busy up because of RMT's

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 ?

[TheRogueX]

Nothing in the ToS states you can not multibox.

I want to know who CAN multibox 5 characters without using some sort of automation software to help them do so.

You can do it hardware.
With a keyboard bind to multiples computers with kvm or same wireless frenquency, no need to 3thd party.
Or a dual box with a controller and the checkbox option to allow it to work on background.
Or this kind of crazy setup but i don't think it will be really efficient pve wise :

Software boxing is kinda grey area, depend of SE thought. As long as it's just a keyboard driver, most company are ok with a one keypress = one action (even it's it per windows or computer) and do not consider it automation.
Until not long ago, that was the case for all mmo, but few changed their policies with the rise of f2p games.
Anyway, since SE did not make a clear stance about it, that's a hell of a gamble.

But honestly, i don't think they give a f.
I multibox hardware since beta, probably got arround 5K reports (extrapoled from rage wisp), got few forum rage post & youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiXLoiQZESc lol ) and i never got a gm who ask me anything.

My former linkshell leader from FFXI.. he did switch to XIV when it came out but yeah... he was "legit" and ran one of the most memorable linkshells I have ever been in for 7 years.

Unfortunatly FFXI does not count, FFXI is a much slower paced game and people tend to put WHM characters on healing programs (as i even know people who would multibox 3+ characters) it was easier to do it on FFXI, I need to know someone that actually plays THIS one and can do that.
