Bard botting is the least offensive thing anyone can do in this game with a botting program not everyone has a talent for musical instruments and playing them doesn't make you better at the game or stronger its for entertainment purposes and and botting or not I've seen some fun stuff done with bards and it helps liven up cities.

I play instruments. It's not the same as clicking on or pressing keybinds to play notes.

no it means, rules are rules, and they apply to everyone, the only way things stay fair.

on the other hand you have morale relativism, which is subjective.

and yes SE will tell you what to do in their game, and if you dont abide they'll take action, so will any other company.

just because they let some things fly under radar doesnt change that.

I mean some guy was using a mod on stream a month or two ago, and he got banned, meanwhile thousands do the same and they're unharmed, that is why morale relativism is bad when it applies to rules.

Well if that is case. They need to really improve on the graphics and character looks. Lost Ark's characters are 10 times more appealing. The UI is so outdated that when I have my settings set to 2k not all of the UI matches it and some things remain big for no reason. Fix decorating homes since right now decorating is ugly (you can't even put something up against the wall unless it sits out a foot from the wall and the wooden loft can't have furniture on it normally) So if people have add ons to fix that then no harm no foul. Until then they need to fix this archaic game and update it severely

But but but what about the manual players!!! Think about them!!

Seriously, why do you even care OP. There's a mute button on performance if you don't want to hear the robots perform.

THERE IS? Why have I not found that yet? I thought the only way to avoid the trash bards who think they are Beethoven was to run away. The humanity........

System Settings > Sound > Performance

You're welcome.

Ok so... where is the UI update that adds in things other MMOs do that FFXIV doesn't? (party buff timers, better visible numbers on your bars, removal of mana for classes that don't use it, better HUD customization etc.)

Where is the ability for Hrothgar/Viera to wear hats?

Where are the better housing tools so people don't have to glitch items into places?

Where are the lifted restrictions on glamour so people can where whatever they like?

Where are the extra character customizations? (like more hairs, facial features, body sizing tools expanded eye/hair colors)

Where are more poses? Being able to sit on ledges (like NPCs do) or doze and lay down on benches/couches? More idle poses, perhaps even some race specific?

We're getting a graphic update. Cool. Don't think that it'll be better than what GShade/Reshade does but here's hoping.

If... you're going to ban all that... I think you should provide it first.

Out of all the botting issues, this is like the most harmless one since it doesn't affect the in-game economy at all and provides players with in-game entertainment at zero cost.

Who cares if bard players macro their performances, if anything SE should focus their attention on those botters who are seeking to exploit the in-game economy such as Eureka farmers, marketboard undercutting bots etc...
