Anyone think the bot problem was this bad?

So much for the "only get to ARR" theory.

It's not uncommon for websites selling in-game currency to also offer account piloting services as well (Which often are being provided by normal players partnered with the website, not people who play strictly for business), which is why they claim to be selling what they do.

Of course, you're taking an even bigger risk with the latter as you're compromising your account's security, not just your credit card info.

Long story short, RMT practices are a lot more pervasive then they seem at a glance and extend much further then the gibberish named gil farmers. I honestly wouldn't call it a stretch to say a lot of the people using DoL/H bots are likely involved, since people really can/do sell off their excess gil to RMT websites who'll proceed to resell it at a mark-up.
