The bot comment was in regard to when LoO had the kraken club, not the horrible octave club. They moved the kraken to the bc60 (i jokingly say) because it saved them money. Having to send a GM to LoO every single day must have been expensive. LoO was among the most horrible mobs to camp, due to his spawn conditions and the grief players caused each other. Kclub was put into BCNM to avoid the very issues that should be kept out of FFXIV. Bots/Drama/Bullcrap.

Who would be retarded enough to suggest botting a BCNM?
As a side note, a test of skill to claim an HNM might be okay, but until they fix the -do dmg from outside the claiming party- thing, it would be a test of who had the most people show up today if it were measured in time. I know that's not something you wrote in stone, it was just spitballing, and i do apprecciate new ideas like that.
