AFK boot dodgers

For those who are curious, the GMs will supposedly give you a free vacation for using a keyboard macro or something similar to idle.

Just had a friend come screaming onto our discord claiming he got one for spamming peloton overnight and now can't play for a few days.

With how little SE has done to combat bots in the past this sounds entirely made up.

Spamming skills in non-combat areas was always bannable behavior, just like the WHM that thought it was okay to spam Holy in Limsa.

There's literal news posts of them reporting the number of RMT/Botters that have been temporarily/perma suspended/banned. I think they do more than you think and you're just being a pessimist about it.

That or they foolishly were standing in the middle of Old Sharlayan while doing it. The few people I've heard get dinged for AFK dodging have all been in highly populated areas or made it otherwise blatantly obvious what they're doing. At which point, I have to ask, "What were you expecting, my dude?"

Which are near entirely pointless as RMT bots like that can be remade in less than an hour. They, however, do virtually nothing to play controlled bots. Case in point, I have several on my server who spammed upwards of 10,000 potions on the marketboard within days every raid tier. Several people have caught them cheating, and even recorded videos of them clearly botting. Guess what? They're still in the game right now, leveling up to 90.
