THis is bots? Why this game has so many bots?

That could very easily be a player farming yaks while binge watching Dr. Who or something.

Why all try always to find an excuse for botting? If he sits behind his keyboard, no one would farm for another player 5 minutes trashmobs.
And no one would run same routes day for day. Stop searching for reasons that this is not a bot ... IT IS!

I would wish that Square would take their own rules more serious!!!

When you are farming one type of monster, that is basically what you do. You find a camp where you can run a loop. With any luck there will be enough targets where the timing works out so when you come back to the start the mobs are respawning.

Guess it is just sort of an old school thing you may not be familiar with it. But it can be a legit and fairly common thing to see happening. Heck, in some cases it was virtually required for progression...like Yagudo farming for NIN, Carbuncle's Ruby for SMN, or coffer keys for your AF gears in XI <shudders>.

That player may not have a retainer to hunt with (may only have gatherers, or may not do ventures at all) and opted to farm milks rather than buy them. Who knows...but again, without access to his/her data stream/logs we have no way of knowing for certain.

but how can SE ban accounts for botting if there is any doubt as to if they actually are bots?

Maybe by analyzing the BoTs itself?

If they would be hard to find, the number of users would be low.

There is a very popular forum in the internet, where everything gets offered with Yolutube video presentation and so on.

If they really would put their weight into it, they would find a solution for it.

I've took al look into the current feature list and yes, I've seen some of them in the last weeks.
