SE why do you not care about bots and not those from rmt.

Do you not see the reports people send in right now with the 50+ bots on Balmung right now in North than all fate grinding to 60? Some of these people have been online for 4-5 days straight minus maintenance. Some have been bot farming for years mining and herb farming with no end in sight. Seeing them get stuck in the landscape with dozens of people on my server report them and seeing them bot 8-9 relics over the last 2 years without a single ban really speaks how you seem to care for its people who play legit. After probably reporting 300+ times over the last two years I am at my last leg. You speak of wanting this game to be a level playing field but the honest truth is legit players are being thrown under the bus.

Yes I understand that time and money could be an issue but there are entire FC's on my server who are all botters and reporting them is obviously not being taken seriously. I don't want this game to end up like wow and its flood of cheaters/hackers/botters but alas it looks like it will end up that way. Please stop turning a blind eye to the biggest problem in this game right now. Hunting is plagued by radar and perma sprint users. Short of teleport hacking it seems this game is becoming the wild wild west for cheaters. Once more I implore you take a bit of time and enforce your rules before its too late.

It's the same shit on Ragnarok...

Fun fact: The VERY same company based in Germany "Honor"Buddy that Blizzard has sued (and got rebuked) and then got 2 millions account banned, is ALSO the very same one providing BOTS for Final Fantasy XIV ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !! ! ! !! ! ! !!! gnnnnnn

Pisses me off to no end, apparently Square-Enix is fine with a bunch of nerds coding some lua / ahk / whatever scripts and selling them for 25-40-50 $$ or something, on their back.

It's because people bot that we get so freaking annoyed by RMT spam ! Most of the gil comes from real players botting and selling farming nodes' gil worth on markets, from sold powerleveled accounts (hello Northern Thanalan) or from credit cards' informations fraudely stolen, or FF14 accounts stolen. (those last two come from people inputting the same password on gil sellers' website as used in their email usually)

Maybe if SE was actually banning more than 500 accounts every 2 weeks we would be definitely ridden of bots AND RMT

[Shori]

we wont be rid of them unless SE actually puts code into the game that if detects plug-ins, multi-boxing, or other cheating software, should immediately freeze that account. there are other games that do this (not for RMT but for cheats/bots/cracking)
