Reporting FC leaders who know about cheaters?

[Maddonious]

Hello. I was just curious if it is legal to report an FC leader who i've told a few times now of this cheater in his FC and he continues to let the player operate in the FC and farm shards each night. (note: forgot to mention seen Fate farm also)

Since he has full knowledge that the player is using 3rd party tools but still allows it to stay with the FC can I also report him for turning a blind eye?

His response is pretty much "Meh" when I told him last time so he is fully aware.

I mean he is earning FC points and rank from its activities so he is techially accepting its ill gotten payoff.

Just curious if that is within terms of a report?

Not the leader's job to punish players. Leave that to the GMs.

You'd have to report the cheater in question and the leader and let the GMs decide. You're going to need some hard evidence though, like a screenshot or exact time/date of the leader acknowledging that he knows the cheater is actually cheating. At that point everything is up to GM discretion.

True but as I mentioned they are earning "something" off its activities and still allow it to stay in the FC. He is fully aware of its activities but still allows it to operate in his FC so he is allowing a cheater to cheat away under his company (and possibly even own it, i have no idea).

I understand bots are one thing but a lvl 50 botter in a max rank FC is something that you can at least make fcless.

If hes making profit or benefits from the bot by gaining gil/items from it then he is breaking the TOS and u can report him.

If he gains nothing from it then he most likely cannot be punished for it since even if he kicks out the bot its still going to continue what it does.

Would somewhat agree, I mean, they punished people who were earning money off bots during beta/early release.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

That's why im asking a question about it. In my eyes hes guilty as sin (the leader) but im not arrogant enough to report till I know for sure if it is a reportable offense.

He gains fc points to spend on buffs and rank (if it wasnt already maxed that is). Like I said, im aware bots will bot, cant stop them all, but you can at least not associate yourself with it.

Shard gathering is not in any way generating FC points. Gathering only generates points when getting a HQ item. Shards cannot HQ.
