turbo controllers the new bot crafting?

JP side is talking about this full on lol.

One thing I thought it was funny was this:

Official FFXIV Controller comes with auto button but if you use it in FFXIV you're busted

Another thing some people on the JP side is talking is that they are saying if you're also watching TV or doing something else while tapping on the enter key and not paying attention to the game then you're same as a bot, or using these turbo controllers.... which to me is like WTF?? because I come from home, cook dinner feed the kids, then on my free time I watch cartoons/anime with my 4 yr old son while holding the baby in my left arm and crafting = bot. I actually posted this on the JP side and that person told me that I am exact same as those using the turbo button and should get banned for not paying attention to the game LOL, so I responded saying if the crafting wasn't boring crap mini-game like it is now I would pay more attention but with current crappy mini-game that puts you to sleep mode in 5-10 minutes there is no way I'm going to sit and pay attention to every craft to get my crafting level up. Hopefully in 2.0 they make a better mini-game for them and I'll start paying more attention.

I don't see a turbo button anywhere on that. It looks like one turns on/off vibration, another swaps the left analog and pad, and the other is used in conjunction with other buttons to access the function keys on the keyboard. The rest is standard stuff. I didn't see any reviews noting a turbo function.

As for that guy who told you pressing the button while not looking is the same as turbo... He's either an idiot or pretty smart and trying to work it the other way, because the thing is the effects are the same, yet people are throwing tantrums like turbo with your finger taped on a button and turbo with just the tape on the button are worlds apart.

(In other words, there or not there, the input that goes through is the same.)

dang that black controller is way cooler looking than the white one, but expensive... on japantrendshop i can get for $50+$20 shipping, on amazon I can get the white one for $13 and free shipping on orders $25+

why is the black on $77 and the white one $13??

[Gospel]

If you ask me. I think the people who wasted $75 dollars for a bot at MoeToy are just cranky cause people can do it for free now and are capping out all of their crafts.

This is stupid, how the hell are turbo controllers botting? -_-

I craft with my screen minimized, just jamming my X button, sometimes for more than an hour. Am I a botter just because I'm not boring myself to death looking at the screen?

Maybe if SE make a crafting system that isn't tedious as hell I would be more willing to play it properly.

The problem right now isn't the botters, because like you say its easy to just hold a controll in your hand mashing a button, you couldn't answer people therefor people will see you as a bot even though your not, the problem is the system right now, SE created it so its possible to do this and untill that changes you can't really blame people for using turbo controlls or hitting a button.

Botters are annoying yes, but if SE created a system that encourages it (with hitting 1 button / Turbo controller) then they need to make a big step in fixing it before you can blame players for taking an easier option.

You are suppose to be looking at the screen crafting +7 lvls higher and trying to use your actions to get your quality up to get the 1-100% exp bonus taking 3-4 minutes per synth to get your 800-1200 exp

But instead getting 300-500 exp in 1.5 minutes spamming x is better.
Either will get you lvled at the same pace put the spamming will use double the mats and shards.
I use standard usb keyboard, the one that came with the mouse I bought together for $20.
Exploit or dont, either way, Get your gosh darn(not sure it I can cuss here) crafts up and make/repair your own gear.

yes, you are technicaly violating the terms of service and botting

heres a question, you are spamming your turbo control as you say

a GM from the task force investigates you, and sends you messages for an hour straight, none of which you respond to, so he bans you....

how do you explain that? do you really think "i was in another window with my control doing all the work for me" is gonna fly with customer service? or are they going to say too bad.

too bad is the correct answer of course.
