Possible new bot program out.

[KisaiTenshi]

My fees tell me I am. The scarier part people pay them, the more absurd i put them the more sought after I become. I have worked for 3 out of 10 of the biggest companies int he world int he last 10 years alone reshaping the way they do business with IT. That makes me an IT PRO. The only reason I caught it was the mt and the fact it was instantly casting from the healer immediately after it hit the screen. Noticing patterns is something I'm good at more to the point, its again ToS to post the offending program, but I've already emailed SE the company that sells it. Why exploit and record when their How to tells you to not leave default settings, but teaches you step by step.

I'll agree with you, what it sounds like is something hooked into the game to read/react to text, or memory hacking. Exactly the same as how bots play. Record it, report it. Show a screen shot and censor out the names if you want to get other peoples awareness.

never did he say 17 years OLD

Not to be rude - 17 and pro do not belong in the same sentence when it comes to IT. That being said, my suggestion is if you see this again, record it and exploit the faults in their script.

Pretty sure they mean 17 years in the IT business, not a 17-yr old who does IT.

Out of curiosity, is it just about the word "Cure" and "Benediction" or was the auto-translate version of those skills used? Just want to know what to look out for, or type if something seems suspicious.

[Kuro_Mao]

"Cure" and "Benediction" no quotes.

This sounds to me like a multi-boxer controlling the second character via a command script of some kind.

Multi-boxing is fine. Controlling the second character remotely is certainly not.

This really just sounds like Dual Boxing, with some rather...interesting people.

If it really bothered you, why didn't you just leave instead? Like, let's be honest here, if something this small bothers you, then uh...you should grow some thicker skin.
I encountered worse, I either just ignored them or left. Simple as that.

EDIT: I hope you know the current FFXIV client allows 2 ffxiv.exe's. So, yeah. Probably another dual boxer.

sneep.

If it was dual-boxing, the other machine wouldn't be reacting to the commands made by the player.

Plenty of games have third party add-ons that will let you either trigger via chat or trigger via commands in another window. It was standard fare back in the days of text MMO's, I see no reason why people wouldn't continue to do it now.

With that said, it's also explicitly against the rules. :3
