    I don't see any hacking going on... However I do see possible RMT activity.
    It's not like they are all floating upside down or walking through walls..You know, hacking. >_>

    Yep, since if they take action on this, they'd have to take action of people who use alt accounts to farm Toto-Rak for seals, since it's essentially the same thing. The RMT that does this aren't usin speed hacks or anything of the sort so they really aren't breaking any rules..just running multiple characters (which is technically against the ToS but as said people do it for Toto-Rak farming since people hate sharing.)

    Until they start pos hackig, that's when action will be taken against them since for now, SE knows about the problem but they do have higher priorities and will probably go headfirst into dealing with RMT after.

    Exactly! then one of them will randomly level up! There's one in my screen if you look at the text that is leveling up... What are they up too ::Conspiracy::

    Well it seemed to me that it was hacking because it looked like they were just generating an image of their char and spamming the crap out of it...

    A player usually monitors the other machines. The "runner". You'll also see that sometimes they don't always link properly, accept the teleport at the same time and a handful of other little things that let you know they're not in full sync.

    Much like the actual bot community, there's an underground for folks that purchase game currency and they are indeed buying gil (*still* buying gil even).

    A poor example would be in Aion at English launch. You could farm for a week to get money for craft recipes, training skills, inventory space, auction house dibs, etc. Or you could buy an intense week's worth of farming for the equivalent of a candy bar at a vending machine. Save a week of time, have fun playing the game, rather than farming to prepare to have an enjoyable game session in the future... for the cost of 300 calories you don't really want. T'was evil temptation.

    The other mules are just standing to increase shard/crystal/fleece drops so they really don't need to do anything other than the one guy that repeats the faction leve kill karakul > quit the leve before boss kill & repeat.

    Could fall under exploit but not sure if above is what they are actually doing, just my guess.

    What makes me laugh is that I don't even think it's a particularly efficient way of making gil.
