    Congratulations on admitting/providing the evidence to harassing another PC in game via MPKing them. I haven't thoroughly read through this thread, and you may have provided enough proof that they WERE botting, but I can't be bothered. All I see is someone violating the ToS by MPKing.

    There's not just craft botting. There's also grinding on certain mobs. I've been in an area where one guy has spawn killed the majority of the mobs by me. Botters also like to go in caves and enclosed areas where they aren't so noticed. Not crying wolf but we would like some justice.

    To the other people, there is a pack of 8 lalas on Lindblum that sit there and do nothing. All with

    Sfdsfjl Jokjfs and Ljfasljkf Ljfjjfj as their names.... it's annoying. Play the ****ing game the right way, damn people....

    To deny the existence of hordes of bots in this game is delusional at least, and actively ignorant at worst.
    I recently had the pleasure of watching the promotional video of a pretty sophisticated bot program on youtube.
    I guess they are promoting just for fun, despite there being no demand?

    Doblyns are people too. Support your local Doblyn welfare agencies.

    You do realize how he "MPK"'d them right? The bot was targeted and locked on him and followed him. It's not an MPK when the player actions are automated. I watched members of my LS do this in early release too and I fully support it.

    Now, to play devil's advocate here a bit; If an actual player sitting at their PC locks onto you and follows you into a group of aggro mobs, it's still their own fault.

    Admitting that you can't be bothered to read doesn't help your position either. Have some knowledge of the discussion before commenting on it - otherwise open wide and learn to enjoy the taste of your own shoe.

    Either way, good work. I'm expecting more good deeds like these.

    anyone who uses that "my kids craft for me" is a 99% chance that they are botting and trying to use the excuse

    start reporting them on a regular basis and watch how fast they get banned like desperado did
    Wait, they've finally started banning bots? Proof or it didn't happen.

    Getting a 6 year old to concentrate on anything that's not on TV for more than 2 hours is a miracle.

    To help with crafting botting I think they should just put in a validation, similar to what websites do to make sure there is a person at the keyboard.

    Instead of selecting finnish at the end of a synth, bring up a combination of 4 random characters you have to type in to actually get the synth completed.

    Up down up down X O Start!

    Give you a 10 second time limit to put it in.

    you fail, you lose the synth, I know this does not stop other forms of botting, but every element helps.
