    So how long until I know if I'm getting in trouble or not..?

    I did a dumb and then did a double dumb and just wondering how screwed I am.

    (Wall of text incoming. Skip to end two paragraphs to get to the point.)

    Last night my character was running from side to side in a residential district, unsupervised and acting very strangely. Not crafting, gathering or fighting, but just acting very much like a broken bot.

    I was not botting.

    I had left FFXIV open in the background because I don't like the hassle of digging out my phone for the code and logging in. Unfortunately, I forgot the FFXIV grabs all controller input, because I don't know it with controller and actually completely forgot controller was a thing in this game. It doesn't hijack the imput so the imput does still reach it's intended destination, it just reaches FFXIV too (even when it's not the game in focus).

    Last night I decided to boot up an old game of Kingdom Two Crowns for the first time in a while. I do play that with a controller. I was playing that for a few hours.

    Unbeknownst to me, my FFXIV character was playing copy cat to my Kingdom character.

    That was my first dumb.

    Anyone who saw me acting like that in FFXIV must have assumed broken bot. I can't imagine anything else.

    My second dumb comes next and it's a doozy...
