What is being doing against botters?

[KageTokage]

The biggest way to destroy the FC loophole is by preventing players from being able to pull gil out until rank 5. However I don't actually know yet what the bots are doing yet at the FC chest because you can't target them by clicking on them. SE could "fix" this itself by making the FC chest only allow activation from the front.

Requiring the FC to be a certain rank wouldn't stop them, because they hit max rank from their dungeon spamming in the matter of a few days.

However, they could stop the gil farmers entirely if they imposed more strict LoS rules as they're abusing the fact that all terrain seems to have one-way LoS and won't prevent them from targeting something if they're standing under the ground/in a wall.

SE could change the FC requirements any number of ways to remove the FC loophole. Clearly there is a week cycle thing going on, so maybe not allowing access to FC chests until the FC has existed for at least two weeks, seeing as they seem to all be created on mondays.

As for LoS, the game doesn't take into account distance from ground for... anything really. Perhaps the game should rectify this so that NPC's, can only be activated when facing the 120 degrees in front of them, at least 1 yalm away, but no more than 3. Standing on top of a NPC should not activate it (and would prevent players from blocking NPC's.) The vertical height issue is an issue since Lalafells talking to Roe's would create the same problem. Simply being above the NPC's head or below the NPC's feet should also not activate the NPC.
