Now you all look like botters. GG.

Could you perhaps supply a source on that? Curious to see where SE said it; everywhere I've seen it referenced it's at "rumor" status.

I've also read that the techniques botters actually use rely on incredibly low framerates, not high ones. In any case, as others have pointed out, this is easily bypassed and you be know botters will have no scruples about doing so.

What we look like are people who worked hard to pay for our high-end gaming rigs and have enjoyed them playing FFXIV for years, only to have the client crippled by a poor decision on SE's part.

The visual fidelity of my game is far more important to me than a stable ingame economy.

I would just like an official response that if i use the patch to get unlimited frames that i won't get banned for it also would love to know the reason for this cap in the 1st place.

going from 180-200fps down to 90 is a big deal.
