botting

[KageTokage]

They (Usually) ban the gil farming bots you're seeing on a weekly basis, but it doesn't matter when they've been creating replacement bots literally non-stop lately.

They need to take a more permanent measure to deal with them because they're creating a significant amount of server congestion that's causing issues now and is only going to get worse when ShB releases.

I've been reporting the same characters botting on Balmung for years, and they're still at it. I wish Square would take another look at what's needed to ban for botting.

The issue is that they don't actually investigate reports (Because if they did, there's no way anyone in their right mind would think most of these guys aren't botting). They'll just run an automated scan on a suspected bot to attempt to detect any abnormalities with the data their client is sending the server then punish them if something is detected

Problem that's only going to catch bots that are operating outside of the limitations of a normal player, such as those hacking gil farmers who teleport around the place.
