Is it OK to use bots in FFXIV?

Ehhh. Those are the easily noticeable RMT bots that mostly stand around Limsa. SE is horrendous was it comes to market board bots, gather bots and crafting bots. Even outright cheaters often got on to be ignored for years despite numerous reports. And the thing is, all they have to do is shadow these "players" to see them botting as it's fairly obvious.

Unfortunately, it seems the GMs aren't given much authority in this regard, and it's the STF that handles these bans. Which is hilariously understaffed. All in all, SE doesn't do a whole lot about bots.

That's because no game company is going to get rid of any of their sweet profit. Doesn't matter to them where the money comes from, doesn't matter if it's stolen, money is money. It won't hurt their profit and might insted be more or less a benefit so nothing is going to get done. Of course, they need to pretend they care but that's easy with people thinking SE is their friend or something.

Huh, i was sure running out of sub would mean i can't post anymore. I guess i was wrong.
