I'm sure people are botting, but the botting accusations are also totally out of control as well.

I know last I went totally ham with gathering last season and doing about 8-16 hours a day (varied), at about a rate of 7500 points an hour, and I was absolutely livid when a person started talking about me purely based on the amount of points I had gained in shout chat. I was super sleep deprived, super agitated because it was not fun for me to be doing, ended up confronting them in game (we are cool now)... but yeah at the time it was super annoying.

Look, if a crafter was gaining 400k - 500k of points consistently a day, that might be suspect (only based on my current crafting rate of about 21k an hour... and there is probably some better rotation I am not doing, someone said they were getting 25-30k an hour) but otherwise, if you are purely accusing people for botting off of points gained, id say like 300k a day, it's kind of not reasonable because you don't know that persons RL playtimes. Some people torture themselves IRL to get that high score. Gathering is the same. Just take whatever a person's rate per hour is times like 24 hours and then just cut off 8 hours for being a human being.

Point being, just don't flat out accuse people purely based on points unless the point gain is just impossible to do at any human pace. If people are openly talking bragging about botting, then yeah report. If their bot breaks and you see them jumping up and down onto a chocobo in the same spot for 10+minutes, then yeah that person is botting, but yeah please bring some actual evidence into it if you are doing so. I see far too many people cry bot when there is no evidence of it.
