Discussion: How Can We Handle Botting Better?

[KageTokage]

You can't do anything against bots from the gill sellers. This is such a big business that they keep comming no matter what a company does.

They could, honestly.

The gil farm bots abuse several flaws with how the game is designed, such as the enemy AI in dungeons/trials never resetting and walls only having LoS on one side. If they fixed either of those, they wouldn't be able to complete dungeons or quest properly which would effectively shut down their ability to farm gil. They wouldn't even need to make sweeping changes in this regard, since fixing just Satasha would wall off their progression, since they can't kill bosses if they can't go out of bounds to avoid their attacks, whether due to LoS issues or the boss resetting because it can't reach them.

That wouldn't stop the "legit" gil farmers who make their money with gather/crafting bots, but they're a minority compared to the mass-produced hackers.
