    Video Evidence of illegal activists using Third-Party Software

    I know not what software they use, nor do I care to know. All I know is RMT Bot Advertisers and Gold Farmers are using this to their own means and it is technically cheating in the case of the farmers. I don't know if this will be helpful or if it even belongs in General Discussion, my intention is merely to bring it to Square Enix's attention in the event it may be of some use to them to stop this nonsense.

    P.S. I'm no video editor so I apologize if anything in this video is unwanted.


    Edit: For some reason the BB code to get it to display here is causing it to remove from the post entirely despite it working in preview post...

    Unholy hotbars batman!

    But anyways, SE is pretty aware of the stuff that gil bots/ect use, I've directly asked a GM this before. It lets them ignore the landscape of the map they're on to treat it like a flat plane.

    Wouldn't put it past them to be aware but thought I'd provide this anyway since I had the... *ahem* privilege... of witnessing them use it.

    And yes, my hotbars are fully utilized XD

    you seems to be a new player, one thing is i can tell you.
    you should never show stuff like this in the Forum its clearly against SE rules to harassment other players you need to hide the names of the other player, you can get a seriously punishment for it.
    i am not joking

    you are not the first one who notice this stuff, please use the ingame GM report for that.

    all i see in this video is harassment of lalafell group who do the moonwalk dance

    regards hobbit

    Setting aside how you could possibly call that moonwalking, I know naming and shaming is a thing and normally that may apply here if said names actually mattered and the point of the video was not to name and shame. This video serves only to attempt to assist SE in any possible way to combat the use of third-party software by letting them see it in action, not point fingers at the individuals doing it. As for the in-game report function I play on PS4 and am unaware of being able to provide video evidence with it. If it is even possible then I do not know how to do it.

    If SE deems this thread a violation of that despite that fact then they can edit out the video link and that would show said video has been brought to their attention. They could even close the thread at that point if they want to.

    xD thats 100% harassment of other players.
    hope you will enjoy your day in GM jail ^^

    this is a really old thing, so you really dont need to point that problem.
    everyone has seen this 100x times ingame and SE know about this problem and this video arnt help anyone, the only thing would really help when you would use the ingame report and fill up the information SE really need and even as a PS player you can use the ingame support.

    this what you are doing here is just harassment and blame other players, SE cant do anything with this video its not provide any kind of information of they need to do something against, you arnt a help to SE with this.

    regards hobbit
