Reporting Botting Activities

[Breakbeat]

If you have a person come into the a store every day to rob the owners in broad daylight, at some point the authorities will step in.

Yes, but if that same store gets robbed again the next night, it doesn't mean the cops don't care. It means crime is perpetuated by humans, continually. Life.

You don't get to claim that you have a working justice system and working law enforcement and then also tolerate that. These two are not compatible with each other.

You say that, fellow human, but that's how Earth works. People busted and prosecuted every day for petty crimes, misdemeanors, antisocial behavior, battery, murder, sexual assault. And yet, we still have these things happen daily.

That doesn't mean the authorities don't care. It doesn't mean they aren't trying. That just means humans are really sick.

Anyway, kids will be kids and there will always be that one kid who melts down over bots in video games and doesn't have anything more pressing in their lives that draws their attention away from their obsessive, compulsive behavior over these bots.

You are that kid, congrats. Maybe you will be the first MMO player ever to cause a lightning bolt to come out of the sky and ban bots. This has never happened, mind you, not even way, way, way back in the day when "MMOs" were ASCII-based (we boomers called them MUDs). And believe me, bots in MUDs sucked, too.

No bot-killing-lightning-bolts since 1985, but hey, you hold out hope.

In your world your problem is super, super serious, unique and totally having an oppressive effect on your life. Ninth grade must be really tough. I hope the FFXIV SWAT team swoops down and solves those bots for you, because clearly you cannot move on until you can make 8 million gil off whatever you're selling without interference from the evil bots.

I really hope you never have a family member get cancer because, dear god, we spend billions on that a year to eradicate it. Your brain won't be able to process why this happened, considering everyone "reported" cancer and all the research in the world has been done on it, the preventative measures are in place, etc. Your head will essplode?

Or if you get mugged or your car broken into a couple of times? How will you rationalize that in your brain? People reported muggings already - on this very street! People reported car break-ins! Why is this happeneing?!?!?

Good luck with your saga here. You could possibly read other accounts and see that bot bans - in any MMO - don't work like how you're insisting they work; but nah, you do you.

When this thread reaches 465 posts and 461 of them are you, I'll come back and have a chuckle.
