Should the ToS be updated to allow botting?

[Miste]

It's the same damn thing as RMT.

No...buying game time tokens with in-game gil from SE isn't the same. Since the profits of it go to SE which is where all profits from their game should go; not to some third party RMT trying to exploit a game they do not own to make a profit.

As for the botting honestly they do need to do something about it. RMT use bots that speed hack across maps and some players use gather bots which in the past I have reported gather bots and speed hackers and nothing is ever done. I even have video proof of a player speed hacking lol their character is still around even though many people caught them and reported them for speed hacking.

I mean this gets you to believe they just don't care to ban them so I don't know. All of the reports I made did nothing even though I was 99% sure someone was botting and 100% sure of that speed hacker before even sending a report. Now I just ignore it and I don't report anything anymore since it seems to be a waste of effort/time. I just go about playing and having my own fun because in the end only SE has any power to do anything and so far it seems not many bots get banned since a lot of the gatherer bots I've reported are still around a year or two later.
