I don't think that would really work. I've been noticing all the level 50 BLMs that pop up on my server with either nonsense names or the same last name, and it's quite obvious that they're bots. So they apparently have found a way around the level requirement, which is rather troubling if you consider that. Would they've been able to level themselves up? I could see running a handful of bots to 50 but when I see these clumps, there's always like 5 or 10 of them and they all have different names. I think I would've noticed hundreds of bots running around on my server. It would be too odd.
