To the person who said he saw someone standing in the same spot fishing for 10 hours: I wonder if you were actually also there for the full 10 hours, never once leaving. I can assure you that when I was trying to get my @#$%!! Dowse III ability, I was forced to repeat the same irritating local leve (which is always in the exact same spot on the exact same ledge near Bloodshore) to get enough guild marks. If someone came by and saw me there, and then left and came back, they might have thought I was standing there for several days without moving. However - I was completing my 2 leves, fishing up any remaining bait while there, returning to Limsa, picking up the same 2 leves again, and teleporting back and forth for several days in a row. It was all I did because I wanted the ability. I would log in and out at that ledge if I got too tired and still had bait I wanted to use up.

It takes forever to level fishing and there are only 2 possible leves you can take at a time to earn guild marks. Sometimes neither of those leves even awards any marks, so you need to just wait until they change (which can be ages) or take the available leves, complete them, and hope the next turn in will have the guild marks leves available).

Just because it may appear that someone is standing in the same spot repeating an action for hours or even days on end does not mean they are a botter.

I hate how so many people cry bot and even report people without any proof at all other than the claim that they saw the same character in the same place "all day" doing the same thing. Welcome to FFXIV crafting.

Actual botters I do not approve of - I in no way support anyone cheating or illegally using the game to make money. I also don't support crying bot on innocent players.
