Without ever even having to look at your screen. You can literally craft for hours by leaving an autofire controller taped down overnight, if you have the materials.

Turbo controllers when set to turbo mode is still botting. Anything that automated a system is a bot. So congrats on destroying your reputation.

Oh no, my poor rep! lol...BFD man. It's a game, get over yourself and your epeen. I just started using it, and it's not a 3rd party program... so it's perfectly fine. Anything that's legal and makes crafting more tolerable is fine by me.

anytime anyone sits and crafts for hours people will call them a bot. i craft for hours at a time in the same spot and don't speak in say most of the time myself. i do that because i play with a controller and am chatting in voice chat. if i have nothing to say when someone speaks to me i don't waste the time to grab my keyboard. just because someone doesn't speak to you does not make them a bot.

i've watched many people that have been accused of botting and can tell you most are not. a bot will do the same thing regardless of the situation. if you see different times between the actions or random abilities they are surely not botting. even if they don't that's still no proof that they are.

non responsive when you spam LS chat/says/tells to them
and when they do respond 20 hours later "oh i had my 6 year old kid crafting for me and i told him not to respond to anything, sorry"

yeah, usualy you can tell, just sitting in 1 spot isnt botting
but theres ALOT of obvious signs that are there


and the above did happen, the LS member was reported, and subsequently got banned from 14
good for him lol

any automated action that lets you play the game without being their is against the tos

turbo controls arent illegal, but setting them to play the game for you while you are not there still is

Don't even need tape lol. Just hit the auto button once and let it do it's thing.

They really my as well give you an auto-pilot option if they're dead set on having crafting require such a ridiculous amount of time. When I craft, and I'm not even that high level in anything, it's all about playing in lolwindowed mode and browsing reddit while hitting circle on my ps3 controller every 2-3 seconds.

The WoW system of crafting would be less tedious, but 1) there would be cries and screams and rage on the forums and 2) removing tedium from the process would result in crafting seeming "too easy."

I think it's just doomed to suck.

You still have to select another local once it's finished. I'm still there, just watching T.V. while it spams standard synthesis. When it's done, you gotta turn it off auto and select the next local recipe. So no, it's not playing the game for me, just spamming std over and over.

Best FFXIV Crafting Bot!

Losing a bunch of high ranked players on Istory due to a silent banning was one of the better days I have had, that's for sure. (Hell, it moved DoW into 1st on rankings on Istory) The highest ranked shell was knocked down because they lost a few people to a non public ban hammer.

SE is definitely taking care of the botters, they just aren't making it public.

Right at this moment I am crafting. Really, I am just hitting the 'A' button on my 360 pad, the game isn't even up on my screen (this website is). The sound is muted and I'm watching tv. If someone is talking to me, I guess I'm ignoring them. Am I botting? I don't think so, but I probably look like it.

I'm sorry, but this is what crafting is at the current time. I wish they would require me to devote more attention/interest in what I'm doing to level up, but until then, this seems to be the best method for the grind.

Yet he mentioned doing it for 10hrs, so you sitting there hitting A in the same spot for 10hrs+? doubt that,doubt you are doing it for HOURS at all
