Thread: RMT are now doing MSQ. 3.0 prep?

This game is so scripted about positioning and such that you can probably easily bot it.

It won't matter if they can get into the new expansion content because they write down your name and spam you where ever you are. I get friend requests, and tells from them when I am in any zone. I always see it comes from a lvl 1 character in ul'dah.

Oh wow are you ever naive.

Here's what they do:
They do a search (since it tops out at 200) and have separate spammers sending spam to everyone using certain criteria. For example if you are in Limsa, you get spam bots that are using Limsa as their search criteria. If you go to Uldah, you get those bots. They might all still be standing in Uldah. They have no reason to go anywhere else since they cant shout/yell spam.

But people's accounts that are taken over (likely because they bought from RMT's) are the ones that do the shout/yell spam.

.

Unfortunately, the same bot in Ul'Dah sends me the tells. It does not matter what city I am in. The problem though is not where they appear to spam you, it is the fact that they do with no consequence.

Because that's where all the gil will be made. IF SE still has dungeon monsters dropping gil at level 60, they'll be dropping more gil than level 50 dungeons. The bots that spirit bind all day, will be doing it with the gear from higher level vendors to get grade 5 materia. And if level 51-60 crafting switches over to using Crystals instead of shards (really big if but I'm sure it's on the table), the shard farming bots will make a lot more gil farming those in HW areas. Actually the shard farming bots have it worst of all because they'll need a battle class to clear MSQ to stay lucrative. This could be the complete crash of all things crafting, since shard bots practically support all NA crafters.

That is false. Once the bots are cleaned out normal people will farm shards and put it up on the market. Whatever void is put in the game normal people will start farming again and be able to make some gil without someone with 15 bots putting up 200k shards every day.

I saw them in Gridania too. Bot activity rises again. SE must summon the ban hammer and fast.

I imagine some of the instanced parts of the MSQ might be hard to bot through unless players actually carry a bot through it. Crystalis for example.

Bots can go to Hellsward.
