Bye bye turbo craft bots!

[MeowyWowie]

Speed hacking and tele hacks were not tolerated at all, at least on Sylph. The only problem was they had to catch them in the act. I've gotten a few RMT banned for this when I still played. Funny how their buddies all hated on me so bad afterwards XD

Dunno how many times I had to go warp2 people who got stuck in whitegate fountain, only one ever got a warning. Alexander server people never got banned, JP/NA running as fast as me while on PLD/BLM/WHM while I'm on NIN with AF boots to tiamat/cerberus/khim etc.

Getting slightly offtopic but to get back on topic, I doubt there any real concern from them about craft botting cause it's mostly a gil/time sink anyway!

I will say that as long as it isn't some ridiculously low number, it probably isn't going to bother me.

I'm not sure this is the way to combat botting though. Seems like just another jab at RMT that turns players into casualties of war with silly, convoluted systems. None of the other methods that followed this pattern worked so not sure why they think this one will.

In any case, I'll reserve any further judgment on this one until I actually experience it.

[dev1310] Wenn man ein einziges Rezept mehrmals hintereinander ausführt, wird die Synthese nach bestimmter Zeit einmal abgebrochen.

this is the german version.
same deal, but it says that it will be interrupted only once.

whatever that means, it's not a bot prevention.
they can just stand up/sit down after a set amount of crafts and keep on going.
or switch the craft when the limit is reached.

in the long run this will punish honest players rather than botters.
rather hire some useful GMs with the money we pay to prevent botting than this.i can't support such decisions if they were merely made to prevent botting...

I'm willing to bet it wall be an amount to last similar to the crafting buff we get from food or the NPC.
50-100 synths (30min - 1hour)

[UmJammerSully]

Eh, this is pretty annoying. I usually watch TV or read a book whilst tapping X. I'm not botting, I'm not even using turbo, not sure why I am being punished. I'm going to have to come back and check my PC every few minutes now. Well, with any luck it will kick in around 50 synths rather than say...10...

Maybe if SE actually had a crafting system that wasn't grindtacular and boring as all hell I would actually play properly instead of half-assing it just to get the benefits of having a crafting class levelled.

according to what we have been told by reps, what you are doing is actualy considered illegal

if you are not at your computer, you are afk leveling/botting basicaly which is against tos

this change is aimed at people like you

You actually believe that it's against TOS to play the game without looking at the screen? You're going to have to point me in the direction of where in the rules it says that as I'm a tad unconvinced to say the least.

I could be mistaken, but I thought a community rep actually made a post about it in a thread on the topic and stated that it was in fact a breach of the TOS. Don't look at me for the quote though cause I'm just going on fuzzy memory and I would have no idea. LOL.

But on a side note isn't this:

play the game without looking at the screen?

a paradox of sorts? How can you play if you aren't engaged with it. To me that's not playing. It's just pushing buttons.
