Move along nothing to see here... right? I wouldn't so openly question the motives of other posters, but I find it odd that FFXIV is not as vociferous when it comes to rampant cheating as some other forums I've been on.

Here's what happens here. Player A sees B, C and D botting. A sends a report on B, C, and D. Nothing happens. Player A complains and finds that the community doesn't care about bots either. Player A decides to bot too.

Next thing you know, handling cheaters becomes a tough decision. Just like at the release, they cut a break to cheaters who exploited the SP on DoM classes because there were so many of them. The Playerbase begins to believe that if enough people break the rules, the rules will bend in their favor.
