Bards Who Use Outside Programs To Play Music

[Hash_Browns]

OP, don't hide the true reason for the thread...

Cat girls on Balmung are leaving you for someone who plays better than you.

I was once in this position, but I turned my performance volume to 0%, and made a witty, passive aggressive comment in the shout chat right beside them. Cat girls instantly came back to me.

Considering how terrible some of the manual players I've heard can be, I say let 'em bot it.

I don't see the problem if it doesn't affect your time in game/gameplay experience, and there's nothing in the ToS stating they can't, of the few things in the ToS about third party programs its directed at Bots that gather and farm gold and cheat in dungeons. So just sit back and enjoy and make a request for a song like the rest of us.

I see no problem here. Plus, you can't really know if someone is using a bot. If someone did learn everything, they could be playing perfectly one specific song and you wouldn't know.

I mean, it dosen't harm anyone if they do. I don't see why it's such an issue.

Are ruining the spirit of barding. Play your songs by hand. Learn the process of your instrument and master them.

I am sick of seeing everyone in Uldah sound perfect with their perfect strumming. There is no uniqueness, no struggle, and no talent. It's literally not bard. Just bard A.I. and I think it should be cracked down upon.

That's because the layout for Bard performance is really bad so I can't say I blame them for not using third party software. As long as they're hitting the right notes, your average person won't know or care.
Off topic: The saxophone midi sounds like crap but then again, horn midi in general sounds like crap.

This is a video game. If someone can make good music from their avatar who cares how they do it.

I'd love to see more street performers regardless how they do things.

From what I've heard, it's still botting software, so if they admit in-game to doing it you can report them for it. Just saying.

Yes.. yes... All we gotta do is have them admit to it in chat... They will incriminate themselves!

I play on PS4 and I use a controller and I can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star really well ._. No hacks

Yeah, serious business.
