I honestly feel like they probably allow all forms of botting to persist largely because it's making them money, rather then it simply being that they don't care. Every single one of those gil farmers is paying a sub so they can hit level 50, and when I've been seeing over 100 of them active simultaneously on just Cactaur alone, that amounts to a lot of money across all of the game's servers.

It also bloats their account numbers so they can make publicity claims about the game supposedly having 10 million players when only about one of tenth said players are actually subbed, if even that.

They really have little to lose from a commercial standpoint by allowing them to exist.
