Should the ToS be updated to allow botting?

[HyoMinPark]

Can you read? I agreed that "top raiders" have also a reason to bot because it sounded like you dont think they do raiders ofc they have to accept the effort but they simply dont. Also Im against botting but to me OP sounded like "if they cant punish botters why not just allow it".

No need to be rude. But...can you read?

If people are botting on their mains, then it's not being enforced. Why not update the ToS so that not only a select few benefit from it?

Sounds to me like the OP wants botting to be added to the ToS. The second sentence sounds like they would like it to be allowed so that they, themselves, can legally bot.

While it's true that some elude bans, SE posts notices on the Lodestone about the accounts they punish for RMT and illicit activity. That includes botting. GMs can't be everywhere to stop all the bots, which is why they need help from the community to find them. If people don't report, they don't get banned. However, unfortunately, some still manage to stick around, as other posters have noted. This, however, does not equate to SE/GMs not policing, or just ignoring the bots. I know that some I have reported have been banned from this game (though, they probably just made another account to circumvent that ban anyways).

Again, MY OPINION: I do not think botting has a place in this game. Regardless if it's for gathering, or if you are some world first raider who sees the need for 500 alts to bypass lockouts. If a raider has 3-4 alts and chooses to bot rather than play the game, that just tells me that they're being lazy. Doesn't give SE a reason to legalize botting, or give, not just "top raiders", but ANYONE, an excuse to bot, except to fuel their own laziness.

My quote about "What purpose does that even serve????" is a rhetorical question. I already know what purpose it serves: fueling and promoting laziness. I wasn't looking for an answer.
